Folks,

I'm having the rubber replaced on a table i just purchased that takes a K55 profile. The table is going to have Simonis 860HR installed as well.

Here's where I'm at with the rubber:
Artemis: out of my price range
Superspeed: I've read a lot of complaints
Diamond black cushions: very positive reviews (no negative reviews that I can see)
Proform: not much info out there
Championship Tour Edition: not much info out there

The Diamonds are probably my best bet but I may not be able to get them shipped in time for my install (I'm in Canada).

That leaves me with Superspeed, proform and Tour Edition all of which i can obtain locally. Which of these three would you choose?

Would you choose any of these three over the diamond black?

Am i missing any other cushion options?

Thanks,

Serge
 
When are you getting your table installed. I have a some Diamond Black cushions I can ship out on Tuesday when the postal stores are open again.
 
The install is probably on Wed or Thurs so unfortunately not enough time to get them over the boarder. Thanks for the offer though.

what's the next best cushion?

IMO the only difference between The Diamond Blacks and ProForms is the color.
 
Thanks Dartman. would you pick either of them (diamond or proform) over superspeeds or tournament edition?

just trying to figure out what the pecking order is after Artemis. thanks!

This has been somewhat discussed and it seems the preference, after artemis, is for the diamond black cushions. Personally I'd use the diamonds or proforms. My last experience with Champs Tour Ed cushions was they seemed a bit harder then usual but the table they went on played ok. Champs ProAm cushion is softer. Superspeeds have a durability problem - at least that's what everyone complains about. I think the diamonds, proforms and the champ cushions all come from the same mfg, Ulyn - but don't hold me to it.
