No CB action

Here is the back ground. My table sat in a unheated garage in northern Michigan for 6 years or more. It is a 8' Dekota 2 Brunswick. The balls, samonis felt and everything sat in the garage. I recently set the table back up and it seems like it plays slower than I remember. I definently cant get much CB action at all. It is super hard to draw the ball. I reused the felt could this have some thing to do with it. The balls Aramith premier had a strange sticky waxy substance on one side and they were in the box the whole time. I cleaned the balls with a towel but thats it, could it have something to do with it. The balls dont look or feel that bad.

Thanks

Clean the cloth, clean the balls, then work on your stroke:D

How would you recomend cleaning the cloth. I have been reading about cleaning the balls and ill try that. And as for the stroke it seems to work ok on every table but mine.
 
New and old cloth when first installed will play slippery and long, you should be able to do unreal shots on freshly installed cloth. I think you need to take an object ball like the nine ball use it as a cue ball and have a friend hld a piece of carbon paper in front of the ball and see where you are actually hitting the cue ball or in this case the 9 ball. Alot of people think there hiting low when there actualy hitting dead middle on the ball other then that have a friend or camers help you out.... scuff yor tip to.

I re-used the old samonis felt, I think this is the problem. The felt sat around for six or seven years off the table just folded up in the garage. I,m not saying I am a pro but it is'nt my stroke I play on other tables all the time and I have no problem on those tables. I did clean the cloth yesterday and bought a new chicken pox CB to see if that might be the problem and it did make a little difference. I guess it is just time to buy new felt.
 
Did you set up the table yourself or hire a company in Traverse to do it? I am a table mechanic in Traverse City and perhaps I can be of service. Shoot me a pm if you can't get the problem figured out and I could come take a look at it.
