ordering rubber for my table

I have a 9' A E Schmidt commercial style table. The thing I dislike about it is the deep shelves on the pockets. For example, in a set of equal offense I struggle to get to 100 on my home table. I went to a pool room today and played on a 9' Olhausen and got to 121 in a set. If you try to hit the ball hard on my table it consistently rattles and hangs in the pocket.

When I replace the rubber what type should I order so it will play like a normal table and where is a good place to order it from?

Thanks
 
Artemis or Championship Tour would be my choices, both very good, see Dartman's site at www.poolfelt.com and click on "cushions", consult with him before buying to make sure you have the correct profile.
 
Diamond Tables sells Artimes Cushions but what they have and I'm not sure if Rick @ poolfelt carries them are the new neopreme facings for the pocket this in its self will take the rattle out of pocket especialy on Ohlausen tables and probably yours to. Diamond and Gabrial Tables use the same neopreme facings and I have switched to them also.

Your table is fitted with K66 profile cushions, so K66 style of cushions is what you need. I don't really care for the Championship cushions as I think they're to soft, the Artemis K66 Pool cushions play great, you might want to end your search there.

We're still on 3.2 and 5.5 standard rubber facings. Haven't had any problems with them.

Considering it's 2 different tables maybe it's the shooter/environment and not the table.
To further test your suspicions you might tryout a Brunswick and a Diamond.
Just a thought.

We carry the Artemis Pool #66 Cushions (K66) for those with deep pockets.
