Lately I've been having a real hard time adjusting to table speed/action at the bar. The league bar recently replaced about half their tables with other used (better condition) tables and they do not all play the same. Between playing at home and various tables that play very differently at the bar where I play league, my speed control is all off. These issues are also really throwing off my draw control. Short of getting there early and spending plenty of time practicing on that night's table, which usually isn't possible for me, any good suggestions?
Tips for adjusting to different cloth?

THINK center ball!! The less english of any kind you have to compensate for under different conditions the better. Pay closer attention to the way the cue ball rolls before & after contact as well. Most of the time I get in trouble is when I have rolled the cue ball to far especially when the adrenaline is flowing.
If it seems like they play too fast, hit it easier.
If they seem to play too slow, hit it harder.

One thing that has helped me is to pay particular attention to the speed of the CB towards the end of its travel, when it matters most. Some tables seem fast because the CB takes forever to slow down but once it starts slowing down, it throws out the anchor and comes to rest fairly quickly. Conversely other tables may seem slow but the CB-once beginning to slow- just seems to take forever to actually come to a stop.
