I don't think UP tournaments even report to Fargo, so win win

Have to go with larger diameter tip helping the most.

Back on the market. Price drop to $799 firm.

Do they have Brackets ?

Have they removed the race to 7 format? Only match clock determines now it seems. Saw one guy being down 7-1 with like 3 minutes left and not concede.

Yeah, hey did that a little while back, this might be the 3rd or 4th tournament of this format, I prefer the races better.

As mentioned above questions like this will get a 100 different answers .

To answer your question I'll revert back to my upland bird hunting days when asked what hunting dog is best ?
It's the one you have now , same thing with playing pool , which cue and shaft is best .

Some cues have a sweet spot if you will that produces consistent positive results as long as you do you're part with a straight stroke .
This works for me and you're results may vary ha ha I wish you well on finding a answer to you're question .

Artemis Intercontinental K-66 and Brunswick Superspeed cushions are designed to achieve the same standard nose height of 1 7/16" (approximately 1.44 inches) for tables using 2 1/4" balls.

However, there are key differences in their profile geometry and installation requirements:

• Profile Geometry: The Artemis Intercontinental K-66 (also known as K55 profile by Artemis) measures 1 1/4" across the top and 1 5/16" high at the back glue side. In contrast, the Brunswick Superspeed is a specific K55 profile variant. Older pre-1975 Brunswick K55 cushions had a different top measurement (1 1/8"), but modern Superspeeds align with the current K55 standard.
• Mounting Height Nuance: When installed on the same sub-rail, Championship K55 cushions (a direct competitor to Superspeed) sit nearly 1/16" lower in nose height than Superspeed cushions. While Superspeeds are often praised for a "springy" feel, some users note that lower nose heights (like those from K55 profiles) can help prevent balls from "hopping" on rebound, especially as cloth wears.
• Compatibility Warning: Installing K-66 profile cushions (standard for non-Brunswick tables) on a standard Brunswick rail (designed for K55) will result in the nose being 1/16" too high, making the table play "slow as mud." Conversely, Brunswick tables typically require K55 profile cushions to maintain the correct 1 7/16" nose height without sub-rail modification.

For optimal playability, ensure the cushion profile matches your table's rail specifications (K55 for Brunswick, K66 for most others) to maintain the correct 1 3/8" to 1 7/16" nose height range.

I think AI got it backwards. I believe a cushion mounted low will cause a ball to hop on rebound, especially when cloth gets old.
