Is it forum consensus that Practice > Game? Just bc of the length? Zipper back pocket?

Yeah, Practice shorts are definitely more on that shorter length mesh shorts wave and also don't have the heavy piping details which make the Game shorts even more sporty looking. FWIW, I think these animal prints work better in the Game short though. I like the contrast between the waistband/piping and the print. I tried Lynx 2 Practice shorts on initial release, and the fabric is so silky with that dark green exotic pattern, I felt like I was about to take the stage in Magic Mike 3.

Game shorts (size 1/S) are too long for me being 5'8". I really liked the midnight bloom game shorts but they looked ridiculous on me.

I found the Corduroy ones to run a bit shorter, and I roll the waistband on all of mine so I get that shorter look. I'm 5'8 as well.
