(If it were a square or rectangle, the edge would be at exactly 6 ft) All in all, u can still hit the ball at exactly 6 ft cuz the bottom of the ball i estimate to be at least one or two inches below 6ft. That gives i think some room to play with.

when I ran the field in inventor, the ball is right at or just over the 6 feet, so hitting it from the bottom is not an option, unless you hit it with the other trackball...
