Recovering pool tables can indeed be a challenging task, as each table has its unique characteristics. Among the various aspects of the process, selecting the right rail cushions can be particularly confusing due to the availability of different profile shapes. However, it is crucial to choose the correct rail cushions to ensure that the balls strike the rail at the proper point, typically at a height of 1.43 inches.

During installation, it is important to adhere the cushion to the rail with the notched side positioned against the rail. This ensures a proper alignment and fit. Additionally, the top canvas part of the cushion should be facing up from the table's surface. This orientation aids in achieving a snug fit when covering the entire rail with the cloth, resulting in a smooth and uniform playing surface.

By following these guidelines during the installation process, you can enhance the overall performance and accuracy of your recovered pool table.
