I'm looking to replace the cushions on a 10' Anniversary (set up as a pool table), which previously had k66 profile. I measured cushion nose to cushion nose prior to removing the cushions to make sure it was the correct profile, and the table bed measured exactly 112" x 56".
I've since been looking to buy Artemis International No. 66 (K66 Profile) cushions, but they only sell them in lengths of 48" (9' table). In fact, I could only find 3 types of K66 cushions that will fit my table:
1. No Brand Name from Muellers [$79.95] - https://www.muellers.com/118-K66-Rubber---Setand3,3723.html?b=d*313
2. Classic Billiards Cushions [$125.00] - https://www.classicbilliards.net/cushions-supplies/affordable-rail-cushions/k-66-cushion.html
3. Olhausen Accufast Cushions [$395.00] - https://www.classicbilliards.net/cushions-supplies/olhausen-accufast-rail-rubber.html
I did see that both Classicbilliards.net and pooltablefeltcloth.com have Artemis International No. 66 available in a set of 3 at 120", but only in K55 profile. That obviously wouldn't work for my table without appropriate modifications done to the sub-rails. That cushion profile is approximately 1/8" wider than the K66 profile, so the sub-rail would need to be reworked so that the cushion sits approximately 1/8" further back from the table bed. Clearly that's a much more technical project than replacing rubber. It's also worth noting that both websites are currently out of stock of that option, so even if I wanted to go that route, it might not be available for some time.
There are different profiles available - Artemis No. 37 that would be available for my table size, but that appears to be a profile designed for caroms. I don't know that a regular sized pool ball would react properly playing off those cushions, even if I was able to set the cushion nose at the proper height. That profile would also require the sub-rails to be reworked, so that's not really an option anyway.
I'd like the table to play fast and true. I'm willing to spend the money for the top cushions, but it doesn't seem like I can find them anywhere. If anyone knows of another website or dealer, let me know. I've exhausted google at this point. Or, has anyone tried the Olhausen Accufast cushions? I really don't want to spend top dollar for an experiment, either. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Joe.
