Diamond table ball hop

[jtompilot]

I was at Buffalo's several days ago and one of the blue label tables had a bad ball hop. I've never seen this on a blue label. Then a few tables over I heard another table with ball hop. Yesterday I played on the next table over and no hop. WTF, why do a few newer tables hop like that?

rails aren't high enough - or maybe the rubber is on upside down

Check to see what they're cleaning the balls with, depending on what they're using, that'll change the way any table plays in a NY second.

Doors open, high humidity will seriously effect the cloth and balls as well. Next time you go there bring a rag and some armorall' spray it on the rag and wipe the nose of the cushions down....no more ball hop instanantly.

Great tip! I haven't had trouble with my blue label yet but if I ever do I'll know what to do. Thanks :thumbup:

Same balls next table over, no hop.

Humidity can be thick like fog, you just can't see it, so it would depend on where the table is in the room, air vents, and lighting over the table.
