    Once it's wall mounted, it will be well out of the way and safe.

    But I might leave this one down for a bit. Nothing like a good excuse to go for a bigger TV... B)

    I like that the rack spot is on the opposite end of your table.

    I loved to hit the cue ball as hard as I could to break it up, as most others do too. I've seen a few cue balls take flight in my lifetime.

    You should be ok. ;)B)

    I just found this interesting video about using too much force on the break. Have I been doing wrong my whole life? :o

    It really depends how good it was racked. If you are playing with experienced people who know how to rack tight, you don't need to hit that hard. Most average bar players rack them sloppy.

    I JUST noticed there are 2 racking spots on the table. I didn't know they did that.

    It's ok with me, though. :)

    Yeah, while I was chatting with the installer, he mentioned that the windows to the left of the table were in more danger than the TV. :D

    He mentioned how it's extremely rare for a ball to shoot off the table directly back, it usually is a glancing blow that causes it to ricochet off to the side.

    As for the 2 spots, that's funny that you've never seen that, as it's how I've always seen a pool table!

    Maybe it's a regional thing?

    We only break from one end, but the other is physical reference point for the other side of the table from the racking point.
