Accufast cushion question

[algebraist]

Hi -- I just got a new Olhausen table with Accufast cushions. If I run my finger along the edge of the cushions, there are places where there are slight indentations -- i.e. it's not precisely straight. Is this normal, or did I get a "lemon"? They range from barely noticeable to definitely there, with the worst ones being half inch or a little more wide. I would think they would have to affect the accuracy of bank shots. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Probably from tension of the cloth and not defective rubber.


Cant imaging it would change the table play much.

Sounds like the cloth was "pulled" too hard on the rails during installation.

Nice! -- Thanks 7days and Berko -- I love that answer! (They sent the table with the wrong cloth, and are coming back to replace it shortly -- very kindly put the wrong one on for me anyway so I could play while I waited...)

That would be correct, and my bet would be that the cloth is Simonis, as most installers DON'T know how to install it correctly in the first place

Maybe there is time for them to order the Simonis installation videos before they redo your table. If you have dimples in the rails, that's covered in there:wink:

Actually it's Olhausen's (really Hainsworth's) Accugard cloth.
