Somewhere on the left end of the court...around the serving area. Or when in the restaurant, on the extreme right. I never, ever sit in the middle...yuck! It's amazing the different persepective you get. When watching on the left, you can't really see the angle of the ball as well, and the ball seems to travel slower. When sitting at the extreme right, you see a dramatic difference...the ball travels so amazingly fast, and you really can see the beating the players take when trying to run on the full to the screen to cut off a carom.
