US Open question

[LMB]

I'm watching the 2008 Van Boeninig vs Dominguez match and they are playing on what looks like a 7 foot table. Is that what they play on now?

If it is THE US Open held in the fall each year in Chesapeake Va and run by Barry Behrman, they are definitely 9 footers.

Both the 2008 and 2009 US Open were played exclusively on 9' tables. Perhaps you're watching the wrong thing?

There is a US Open Bar Table Championships i am fairly certain. That would be my guess what your watching on Youtube i assume.

Here's a link and during one game Danny D. when Ernesto has a jawed cueball he has 7 feet to travel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtGe0FouC6A&NR=1

All I see is a 9 footer. No doubt about it.

At 12:35 Danny says 7 feet away because the 2ball is 2 feet from the pocket.

Must be the camera angle? The table looks small to me.

The table always looks small. It's the size of the balls in relation to the table that indicate how big it really is.
