If you were building a 7-foot table, and wanted the best set-up for playing banks, how would you want the rails...?

1 5/8" or 1 3/4" rail thickness?

K-66 or K-55?

Flat side of cushion up, or curved side?

Canvas backed cushion?

Napped vs. worsted cloth?
 
Why a 7' box

1. 2.25" ball.

2. 6"+ wide rail less flex.

3. 1.750" thickness for solidness.

4. K-55 rubber I would go with Claybear from europe it banks better

5. Canvas controls the rebound or bounce not sure which is better up or down.

6. Worsted wool last longer for playabiltyand it wears out evenly 90% of the time.

7. Have a well built frame like a Diamond, Gabrial or Brunswick frame overbuilt and solid construction. Each frame has it's own issue's but less flex and rigidness makes for a great banking and playing table.

Read up on three cusion those type of players are very picky at what equipment the use that's how I learned about Claybear rubber. They play with angles most other's play with pocket's and dont focus on the soundness or playability of the table as much.
