Ivan,
A very interesting story. So as a result, I assume you now know the correct point of intersection of the cushion on the ball's
hemisphere. I assume that point to be just above center, but I really don't know. Could you please tell us?

Regulation balls are 2-1/4" high. Regulation rails should be set at
62-1/2% ± 1% of ball hight. That translates to approximately 1-3/8
inches.
Obviously, a center-ball rail height would give the optimum rebound.
Below center would send balls flying off the table. Above center
captures the balls (they get wedged under) for an instant before
rebound.
Since I play more of a 'finesse' game (14-1, or straight billiards) I
rarely have occasion to slam the ball and send it off the table. In
fact, since the rebound is better, all my shots can be made with a
softer stroke.

Happy holidays!!
