Funny, I was going to post a similar idea, except that mine was based on side-netting attached to the table; balls off the end would still have to be retrieved manually. The two ideas could probably be combined, and that would reduce the proportion of the floor space that would have to be reconstructed. [+] |

...and I thought that a little car would bring your balls back to you. + |

It takes a big, red high-powered car to do that, [xandram] ;) |
|

Hmmm. Not convinced. Like a car on an adverse camber, you'll end up getting funny strains as you play... |
|
| |
... especially if the floor were concave! |

How about a net that goes around your waist, and around the edge of the table, and attaches to the walls at a higher level than the table surface. The net material around your waist would be elastic so that you can move around and still keep it taut. |

This way you wouldn't even have to bend down to retrieve the ball. |

[Jinbish], the floor is flat at each end of the table where the players are. The rest of the floor slopes towards those flat areas. |
