Hello,
I was wondering if you could offer some insight to a situation I have. I am going to be re-covering an 8 foot bar table soon. New 860 and new rubber, With the new technology out for cushions, Is it still recommended to have a control strip on the cushions? However my primary question is that the table has an oversized cueball, ( not sure of the size, are they standard oversized.) The object balls are regulation 2 1/4", now my problem is this: Do you think that if I found a balance between the cueball size and the object ball size,(if you know what I mean 1 7/16 nose for the object balls 1 x/x for the oversized cueball, then split the difference) Do you think that the cueball would get airborne,or conversely would the object balls "clunk" off the rail, or both, or neither. I would be grateful for your opinion on this subject

Cushion control strips are no longer necessary. What's important is a cushion set rated for consistent speed and 100% accuracy such as Championship Tour Edition cushions.
Cueball use is mostly determined by your table. Some use an oversize cueball (2 3/8"), some take a weighted ball and most use magnetic (both of these being standard size 2 1/4").
If you want to do the math for cushion nose height it is the diameter of the ball 2.25 X 62.5%. The percentage range is 62% - 64% allowing the cushion to be a tad lower or higher. You can use the formula to arrive at a happy medium if using an oversize cueball with a standard ball set.
A cushion nose set too low will make the ball jump - too low and it sucks it in robbing speed and accurate angle deflection.Go to Top of Page
