No two tables are alike

You will find that some tables play differently than others, thus your techniques for shooting must be adjusted to many different conditions of the tables. Many things will factor in the differences you will notice from one table to the next. Different cloth for example. On the WPBA they use Simonis 860 cloth, which you will find a very consistent play with, but the 760 cloth plays much faster and you should make the proper adjustments to your stroke to slow down the speed of the ball on this table, but at the same time remembering your technique as far as rhythm goes.

Also a factor in the condition of the table could be effect of atmospheric conditions. When the atmosphere is humid, the table will seem a little damp and the pockets play a little tighter. Tables should be maintained at the same temperature consistently. Air conditioning should be kept cool enough to not allow the humidity from various factors, such as the time of day or the amount of people in the room that would make the temperature rise and fall.
