I’ve just set up an Olhausen carom table at home last week. Pretty exited about it. But table is still not my dream table, at least in current condition: existing cushion (My guess is probably at least 10 years old) and cheapo cloth (no name - provided by previous owner, used mainly for straight rail).
Now I’d like to find out what brand the cushion is, how to check for current condition so I can make some informed decision. I tried bouncing a small hammer off it for rebouncing test, hand pinch/compress for dead spot test, etc ... All seems ok but there are still thud sound and ball hopping at medium to high speed.
My plan is to ultimately get one of those European tables in great to new condition (great deal too ). In the mean time, if the cushion in the Olhausen is still in great shape, I’ll install Royal Pro cloth to practice & play 3C. If not, I’d replace the cushion too.
Thanks
