Recovering pool tables can indeed be a challenging task due to the variations in table designs. One aspect that can be particularly confusing is selecting the appropriate rail cushions, as they are available in different profile shapes. Choosing the correct rail cushions is crucial to ensure that the balls strike the rail at the proper point, typically at a height of 1.43 inches.
 
Different profiles, such as K66, K55, and U23, are commonly used for various types of tables. For accurate selection, it is recommended to measure the "Dimensional Height" and "Angle Width" of your current cushions and compare them to the dimensions of different rail profiles. Removing a piece of your current cushions and matching it locally or with a professional can also ensure an accurate match.
 
In the case of this specific set of six pool table cushions, they feature a K66 profile, which is the industry standard and approved by the Billiards Congress of America. These cushions are designed to complete a standard 8-foot or 9-foot pool table, depending on the specific set chosen.
 
During installation, it is important to adhere the cushion to the rail with the notched side against the rail. The top canvas part of the cushion should be facing up from the table's surface. This ensures a snug fit when covering the entire rail with the cloth, resulting in optimal performance.
 
Always remember to measure accurately and consult professionals or experts if needed to ensure the proper selection and installation of rail cushions for your specific table.
