Was using three tennis balls, set in black plastic abs couplers from Home Depot. Used with two different much heavier (than my current) tables. Not the last word, but no great harm to the music. On balance, I ever so slightly preferrred them to inner tubes. Which were simply a pain.

The racquet balls (nice green color), set atop white pvc coupler/adapters (Home Depot), give a nice measure of musical freedom. Like tuning an instrument. Less balls/couplers (three), ya get some loosey goosey base. Four (what I'm now using), tighter, but still plenty tuneful. Heavier table? Maybe add one more? Or two?

A good balance between compression/isolation and stability/firmness. Costs nothing, easy to try. Pretty much agree about system/component dependency. What works in one's system, may not bring it for another.
