Hello.

Posted same question in Main forum, but didn't got many replies. Maybe here is a better section to post.

I have a Sam K-Steel pool table, it still have original cushion rubber. But table runs a bit slower. So after 15 years of use, I'm thinking to change the rubber. Rubber profile is K-55.

I'm choosing between Brunswick Super Speed cushions (price around 240 $) and Artemis Intercontinental No. 66 Rubber K55 Profile (price around 440$), buying in Europe.

What you think between these 2 rubbers, which option is better?
Is Artemis worth 200$ extra? On other hand, the tournament in our area are played on Brunswick GC4, so Brunswick cushion seems to be the logical choice, but I only play 1-2 tournaments in 1 month.

Thank you.
 
Im not a table mechanic but I think the most important thing when it comes to cushions is rail thickness and proper sub-rail angle. Improperly set up any table can play poorly.
