I just purchased a used olhausesn 8 footer and I notice that the cue ball slows down unnaturally quickly when it comes off the rail. It was like it was plowing through the cloth , or like the cloth was too deep. Could this be because the cloth was not on tight enough? Don't know yet what kind of cloth it is but I assume it was from olhausesn. Any thought on this? thanks, gary
cloth is slow

Olhausen are good tables and I would fault the cloth before the table. you probably have a thick cheap cloth. People seem to be more concerned about cloth thickness these days than the quality of the fabric used. There is alot of companies offering thicker cloth as a markerting ploy. Thicker cloth plays slower and cheap fabric becomes nappy and also plays slow. this is assuming that you purchased a new olhausen and there no chance of bad cushions, even if the table is a few years old - it would have accufast cushions, which I have seen an accufast cushion go bad. If your table is over ten years old its could be your cushions. If its your cushions, they go hard or soft. I like my cushions to pick up speed when rebounding from the first cushion and loss speed on the second. It hard to tell the problems without being there in person.
