As I was tinkering with some of the older tables converted to Fullscreen and Cabinet, I noticed that when you look at the bumpers they look distorted (too wide, too long), so I kept adjusting the table length and width until the bumpers looked right. Then I played the tables, and a number of surprising things occured. The tables played much better, they felt more realistic, table railings appeared on many of the tables that were hidden before offscreen, making them look real. Then as a check, I looked up sizing on the Real Tables and compared them to the recreations for accuracy.

 

What I got from this and what everyone else should take away from this is :

 

Adjust converted (from tabletop) tables (to Fullscreen Cabinet tables) easily by making bumpers round or close to round and these tables

will look and play much more as intended.

 

Try it,you will like it!
