Well, I actually never watched it, but Eurosport broadcasts it and I'm quite bored, so I started to watch it. I actually pretty like it, it's nice to follow and sometimes it's very technical.

the table is just too big and the balls and holes too small

Yeah... among other things the size of the table would be an issue to me. At 160 cm I'm not even sure I'd be able to reach anything!
But it does look cool when the ball starts dancing around the whole like crazy.

You can reach all balls with the Rest/Extension/Spider.
No it´s not cool when the ball dances and don´t go in, unless it happens to the opponent.
