i am in the middle of watching the skins tournament, and the questions that came to mind were: what size table are they playing on, and are those the same tv balls they use for the us open.? the table just seems so much smaller then normal. well to me it does. and the sounds off the balls just doesnt seem right. it may be just me but if neone can shed some light on the subject it would be appreciated. thanks david c..

Olhausen was one of the event's major sponsors, and the table was a 9-footer. I didn't hear anybody complaining about the balls, though.
The table does react a little differently in the TV pit because of the very bright lights and HEAT generated from them. Keith liked the table a lot, FWIW!
Santos, however, didn't have a good tournament. He missed balls that looked like incredibly easy shots at times, and I know he was disappointed, as was "Spanish Mike" Lebron (LOL). Sometimes equipment can throw a player off his game. Being able to adjust to a variety of equipment is key in professional play.
Diamond tables are very popular, but I've heard some veteran players say they bank short. Keith prefers the Centennial balls over the Super Pro Aramith. When players are warming up before a match, part of the preparation is adjusting to the venue's equipment.
Here's a picture Keith and Rodney warming up on the TV table at the Skins tourney. Each group of four players were given 30 minutes before the match to adjust to the equipment.
