Overview

Recovering pool tables can be a tricky endeavor since it seems like every table is a little different. One of the more confusing parts of this process is selecting the correct rail cushions for your table as they are available in several different profile shapes. Selecting the correct rail is important so that you can be sure the balls strike the rail at the proper point (1.43" in height).

In general, the K66 profile is the most common for home and commercial 3 piece slate tables. K55 rails are more often used on carom tables and most coin-op tables and the U23 rails are also used for some home and commercial tables as well. To determine exactly which rails your table requires you can measure the back side of the cushion where it is glued onto the table which we referred to as the "Dimensional Height". You will also want to measure the top side of the rail called the "Angle Width". Compare these measurements to the rail profile dimensions to figure out which set your table requires.

This set of six table cushions feature a K-66 profile and come with enough cushion to finish a standard 9 foot pool table. The K66 profile is the industry standard and is the only cushion profile approved by the Billiards Congress of America.
