On an 8-ft surface, the longer ball travel distances between cushion contacts make rebound consistency more important than on shorter tables — a ball that loses 30% of its momentum on a poor-quality cushion on an 8-ft table will not reach the target pocket from a bank shot where it would on a faster-cushioned surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003ch3 class=\"gre-desc__h3\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"gre-desc__num\"\u003e05\u003c\/span\u003eBlack MDF Cabinet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eBlack melamine over MDF panels.

The 8-ft requires approximately 212 in x 170 in of room versus the 7-ft's 200 in x 164 in — 12 in more length and 6 in more width. In a 14 ft x 12 ft room, the 7-ft table fits with comfortable clearance; the 8-ft does not. In a 18 ft x 14 ft room, the 8-ft fits well. Measure the room in its actual use configuration — with furniture, doorways, and any fixed obstacles — before selecting between sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ball return system adds approximately 98.48 lb over the Jupiter 7-ft (198 lb vs. 231.52 lb). On the 8-ft, the table ships at 480 lb total freight weight. The ground-level receiving location for this size of freight delivery needs to be accessible to a standard freight truck with a liftgate — a concrete garage apron or a loading dock.
