I know another thread about cloth, right. The problem is that I have spent the last couple of days reading everything I could on and off the forum and I am more confused than ever.
I currently have Championship Invitational with Teflon on my 8 ft Legacy Billiards table. Unfortunately (or potentially fortunately) I have to have the table recovered due to a botched install by the installer hired by the dealer. I have chosen a reputable installer, now I need to decide on the cloth.
I want to go with a worsted cloth based on everything that I have read. I enjoy playing 9 ball the most, but there will be other games played as well. I spend roughly 16 hours a week on the table and I want a cloth that will last a number of years before needing to be replaced. Everything I read tends to make me lean towards Simonis 860. I am willing to spend the money, but is that overkill for my home table? I do want something that will wear well based on the amount of time I spend on the table.
I have considered Championship Tour Edition as well as looked at Velocity Pro and Proform. I read varied opinions about all of these, but the bottom line is that I want a good worsted cloth that will last me a handful of years.
Please help me end my confusion so that I can decide on a cloth and get the recover scheduled.
I should also mention that I am a novice player and am not currently looking to enter in any tournaments.
Edit: One more thing, I need the cloth in wine color, so 860HR is not an option. I wish they made it in other colors.
