Ko Pin Yi explains main differences between Chinese and American tables

The bit about potting down the rails and potting into middle/side pockets was very familiar to me as when I moved from playing English pool to 9 ball on U.S tables. I couldn't believe how easy it was to pot down the rails and how hard it is to pot into the middle/side pockets on a U.S table compared to a U.K table.

Why do balls come off the cushions at different angles between U.S and Heyball tables? Is it the material of the cushions, the height of the cushions or something else (the dimensions of both tables other than pocket size/shape are the same as far as I understand).

I Want To Buy Something

Hire a ball boy to replace balls to their position during practice sessions. He's gotta keep 'em clean, fetch beers, brush the table during bathroom breaks, etc.
I'd make my own kid do it, but don't have any.
I was in China a couple times for my dayjob and of course brought my stick and played pool a few times. The house girls there rack for you. At the end of each game I'd put my hand up and holler out to the girl "rack rack rack". It was actually fun, haha. They were cute too;)
