My cousin is finally upgrading his 9' furniture Brunswick.
Not sure of the model.
I told him Simonis 860 and Artemis cushions.
Any other suggestions?
Also recommended for him to get a good cover. (Kids) haha
 
Table

Which model of table...? It may have the contender cushions which are L56..... it the rails have K55 cushions you’ll want to be sure that the same profile goes back on.. there are two profiles available from Artemis... the k55 is twice the price of k66 so beccarful that he does not go the k66 “less expensive” route.
Brunswick super speed cushions k55 should be replace with Brunswick superspeed cushions..

Thanks.
I will be at his place Tues. for one last match up.
I'll talk to him and show him these suggestions.
Glad he and wife are stepping up.
Table came with house.
He is psyched to make it better.

I thought virtually all Brunswick's and Diamond's use K55 profile cushions, whereas virtually all other table manufacturers use K66 profile cushions?

Sorry, I guess I was thinking of the Brunswick Superspeed K55 cushions, which apparently Brunswick no longer use in all their tables. Also, no reason I can think of not to switch from Superspeed K55 cushions used from the factory on all Gold Crown models to Artemis K55 cushions.

Ernesto highly recommends it and has done if for many years on hundreds of pool tables in west coast pool rooms. As far as quality cushion rubbers, he ranks them from best to worst in this order - Klematch, Artemis, Superspeed, then Championship.

German cushion rubbers are like Saluc/Belgium balls - nobody is yet to make a product that compares favorably to either of them.

Brunswick k55 superspeed is still in production....
Brunswick cushion should be replace with the exact brand and profile the table was originally produced with...
If you put on klematch on a pool table your in for a long ride....
I can’t belive that guy still gets paid to butcher Brunswick pool tables with k66 cushions...
In my opinion he does it because k66 cushions are less expensive in turn puts more profit in his pocket..
