Re: height of elit players on open

Having played against JD in LA quite a bit a few years back, there is
no way he is 5' 9". I am not sure he would hit 5' 7". Unless he has
grown, I am 5' 7" and remember him being below that. I am not taking
anything away from him as a player, but the 5' 9" thing is simply
program fodder!

I was once told by a taller player that shorter players have a longer
shelf life as ultimate players due to the punishment on the legs and
knees. Don't know if this is true, but it makes some sense.
