Angle question

Okay guys, this Valley table in town plays faster than any valley I have ever seen in my life( 6 rails side to side, 5.5 rails length of the table)
Everyone thinks that table is amazing, but I hate it because the angles are distorted.
This is what I have observed

Nose height = 1.5"

Shooting 1 rail shot from corner to 2 diamond, instead of coming to side pocket, comes 1/2 diamond short.

Shooting the 9 rail shot comes at the long rail, instead of short rail at the 4th rail( like 3 diamonds short)

Any idea what is going on in this amazing table!!
 
1.5" is actually a little high, and if anything, would slow the rebound.
Sounds like it has very fast cloth, do you know what was used?
I wonder about the rebound angles you're seeing. Is the cloth still new and not broken in?
 
I was actually surprised to see the cushion nose a little high, I was expecting to be low, so don't make sense to me, as you say It will play slower, anyway it has and old simonis cloth( at least 3 years old) could the rails be over stretch and therefore "pinching" instead of "bouncing".
Does anybody remember how to check that, I remember RCK mentioned putting a coin on top of the rail and check the response, but not really sure about it.
 
Also a lot of times if you hit a ball at high speed it will bounce like reverse english was transfer, remained me of a uncovered rail!!!!.
