The Best Cushions

So what type of facts did you get to come to your conclusion.Alot of company's claim they have the best cushions.Mainly Olhausen and Brunswick Olhausen claim is there cushions are 100% gum rubber.I think they ment to say made from 100% gum rubber.Like every other cushion in the industrie .And I agree that the artimus cushions are a good cushion but I don't think they are any better then Brunswick cushions.And in my 16 years I've never seen any real facts on why there cushions are the best other then because we said so.
 
Olhausen and Brunswick make tables. They install their own cushions. What a surprise.

Gabriel and Diamond don't make cushions. They can buy anywhere. And what they build, according to many posters on this board, are the best playing tables.

Well, I'm not really a cushion expert, but I think you can't really identify a good cushion until it turns bad. By that I mean that if a cushion lasts five years and plays well for four of those years, it turns out to be a bad cushion. I've previously mentioned that where I usually play on tables and cushions from a Big Billiard Company, on about 24 tables, 60 cushion sections have had to be replaced as they gradually turned into something resembling brick. It's no fun to shoot a lag shot and have the cue ball end up between the side pockets.

So, all I can tell you is to avoid rubber from that company unless they give you a lifetime guarantee on dead rubber, including the cost of installing it, and with no questions asked. And the guarantee has to be in writing, and transferrable if you sell the table.
