Morning everyone. Hope all is up to a great weekends.
As posted before, I have a 10 footer installed about 3-4 years ago using 300 rapide cloth but didn’t change the rail cloth. (It was still fairly new then).
I haven’t had chance to play on it a lot until now. It plays ok for the most part but I noticed a couple of things:
- rail cloth is loosing a bit.
- when play, it seems a bit slow. We play 99% straight rail games, very little in 3-C. But when we do 2-3-4 rails shots, it seems slow.
- balls seem to hop a tad bit coming off rails on harder shots
Questions:
- I’m planning to replace the rail cloth using left over from table cover job to make it same color. I heard with Olhausen accufast you never have to replace the cushion. How do I tell if it’s actually an accufast? How to test for quality to see it’s still in fact good when determined it’s actually an accufast? Table is pretty old and I’m not sure about its history of service.
- cushion nose height from table is now right around 1 7/16”, does that sound right?
- how to test to see table plays at correct/ok speed?
- what might cause balls to hop?
- if I have to replace cushion, which one I should go for, Artemis or Accufast, or any other?
Sorry if any of these questions are trivial. I’m a beginner .
Thanks much
Nhi
