    I would suggest turning the pool table 180 degrees, so that the breaks happen in the _other_ direction.

    The most likely time (IIRC from my pool hall days) for a ball to fly off the table with force is during the break, and the angle and distance you have there are favorable toward an airball catching one of your games square in the glass.

    Of course, in the other direction, those sitting at your bar will be in the line of fire, but this isn't "FRIENDside".

    Looks good. You _will_ have some conflict if pinball is being played at the same time someone needs to make a shot in that area of the pool table; have a "WAIT UNTIL THE BALL DRAINS" rule in place.

    There's a lesser chance of that with the MAME machine, but players there can always hit the PAUSE button.
