Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Cushion as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A cushion is a raised ,cloth covered rubber bumper which surrounds the playing area or bed of a billiard, pool, or snooker table. The cushion is mounted to the table's rails. The cushion material is elastic, and the elasticity is lost over time. Cushion material is typically a rubber or a synthetic rubber. The cushion condition and quality play a large part in how the billiard table plays overall.
I love how the cushion plays on Roger's new home pool table.
