Dynasphere Challenger Ball Set

The new Dynasphere Challenger ball sets are finally available. We've been using a set on our showroom/practice table, for the past couple of weeks. In fact, it's the open set that's pictured here. I'm very impressed with this set, and how clean the cue ball stays. Despite the use that they've seen, we didn't even need to run them through the polisher, prior to photographing.

With a MAP price of $131.39, this set is a great value.

New Olhausen tournament model..................

It has been 11 months, does anyone who has played on this table since have any additional insights? Quality? Banking? Pocket geometry? Purchase experience? Thanks!
We have one in our shop/showroom, and play on it regularly. The bank angles are natural, and the speed feels natural. Balls do not get pinched on rebound, or spring wildly off the rails.

The corner pockets are 4 1/2", with an entry angle of 141 degrees.

Purchase experience will be dependent on the dealer used, though it is a standard lead-time of approximately 4 weeks.
The spec sheet previously posted answers this. Accu-fast K66 with height of 1-7/16. My main question is did the fix the pocket angles? One vendor website says yes but others do not mention this.
The pocket angles have been corrected, as noted above.
I would also like to mention that with the cushion nose height being set to 1 7/16", the sub-rail thickness was also increased, in order to improve the rebound speed.
I wonder which rail rubber they use on the newer model tables? The Accu-fast rubber is 1/3 the mass and size of Artemis. The 12 year old 9’ Olhausen tables at our community clubhouse were just recovered with Simonis 860HR and they play slow. And yes, the pocket angles are incorrect.
The new Tournament Pro is a HUGE improvement in play quality, over any prior Olhausen table. The pocket angles have been corrected. Even with Accu-fast cushions the bank rebound speed is similar to other tournament grade tables in its class.
