Cushions

Kingdom Billiards uses only tournament-approved cushions.

Tournament Approved Cushions
The cushions are the most critical part of the rail system. The composition and shape of the cushion will determine how lively the table will play and for how long. In order for a pool table to be tournament-approved, the Billiard Congress of America (BCA) requires that “rubber cushions be triangular in shape and molded with a conventional K-66 profile with a base height of 1 3/16th inch and a nose height of 1 inch with the control fabric molded to the top and base area of the cushion.” Kingdom Billiards cushions meet all standards set forth by the BCA.

The Right Shape
Kingdom Billiards uses BCA tournament-approved full-profile K-66 cushions. Some tables use a slimmer K-66 looking cushion that isn’t suitable for tournament play. These cushions won’t provide the action a full-profile, K-66 cushion will.

The Right Material
If the composition of the cushion is full of fillers instead of natural gum rubber a cushions lively play may diminish over time due to crystallization. Kingdom Billiards uses natural gum rubber cushions for maximum lively play and consistent rebounds.

Molded Control Fabric
Control fabric or canvas as it is sometimes called, is molded into the top and back of the Kingdom Billiards cushions. This vulcanized canvas on top of the cushion allows the ball to rebound with the same speed no matter where the ball strikes the cushion. The vulcanized canvas on the back of the cushion allows the rubber to bond tightly to the rail ensuring that it will not separate and come loose.

Breathable Cushion Design
Kingdom Billiards provides live air space on the back of the cushion where it is glued to the sub rail. This space not only assists the cushion in controlling the speed and accuracy of the ball but also allows the cushion to breath maintaining rubber consistency. Without this live air space the cushion can harden due to its inability to breath.
