What is the right condition for room, where is pool table to play good.
I mean the rails to play as they should, without throwing balls in the air. What kind of temperature and humidity ?

Thanks.

69-72 degrees with 8 to 15 % humidity.

But it doesn't solve the problem. Because 8 or 10% of humidity in house is rubbish.
You could get it when outside it would be -20% and humidity would be 100%, then inside house where you radiators are on at 25*C humidity would drop to 10%.
Such low humidity is not good for health, and for any furniture (including pool table which has wood parts) because it would cost unsealing the timber.

The question was clear and not that difficult, wasn't ?

I think 75-80 degrees at 35-45% humidity is best for me.
Too dry, the cloth might be too slippery.
 
In the summer in my basement the temp is probably 70-75 degrees and humidity is around 65% to 70%. Winter its 65-70 degrees with humidity 40%-50%. My table seems to play faster in the warmer temps and higher humidity. Thats about all I notice is a little change in speed, but everything is pretty stable down there. It drys out in the winter from the heat running so much. When it gets 85-90 degrees in the summer we turn on the A/C but the basement is always cooler with or without A/C. I would guess my game is also not up to the caliber to notice subtle changes either.:D
 
Hi there.

Ok but now I have a different question, what would happend if rails wouldn't be screw tight enought ?

Because I was analyzing videos which I did record, and videos which I've got from producer.
And in my opinion, on videos from manufacturer rails seems to be more firm, square and giving diffrent sound ( I know that they don't have a box around, but still rubber react different ). They look diffrent.

On my videos, rails giving diffrent sound and seems like a nose of cushion is pointing celling (during the hit-contact CBand rail, it seems like there is a obtuse angle). I might be wrong.

But I wonder if balls would jump off the rail, if rail(s) would be not screw properly (tight enought)?

I would think if the rails are loose it would cause nose height to be higher than normal. I would also expect the cushions to try to pinch the ball down rather than cause balls to lift off of surface. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I am not a table mechanic.

A/C is an acronym for Air Conditioning.

What is the purpose of all your questions? Are you doing a thesis on the playability of a pool table under different atmospheric conditions? Your table will play as good as it can under the ambient conditions in your particular area if properly setup a qualified table mechanic. It is going to be difficult to control the humidity beyond what is ambient unless you have a kick ass HVAC system.

The purpose of my question is to indentify where is the problem, and to solve it. Simple. It Would be different if it would be second hand table, but it is BRAND NEW. And So Brand new table doesn't do that (throw balls in the air after second, third or even fourth contact, isn't ??):

I'm going to have the rails back in next 2 or 3 weeks, so I will check how they play.


Would you accept table playing like that, if you would buy it brand new for nearly $4000, would you ? Or you would try to find were is the problem ?

Check you PM Inbox for your response. I've not heard of balls jumping off rails due to temperature or humidity.
 
If the manufacturer or dealer cannot repair your table I would have them remove it and refund your money. As far as I am concerned the balls becoming air born after rail contact seems to be something any table should not be doing. I would also want to know exactly what they are doing to repair the issue, I would not want a new table that is hacked up. Where are you from? Can you get other brands of tables? I watched your video again, it also seems to me that your table is playing way too fast, it looked like the ball went up and down the table at least 6 1/2 times on a ball that was not struck at break speed, it seems like 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 lengthwise is normal for a ball struck at normal break speed. The table mechanics here would be able to answer that a little better than me.
