Yes, Simonis 860HR blue rolls the balls a little further than the same weave in Green. The dye used in green is like comparing oil base paint to water color paint. Green is a much heavier dye compared to the blue, therefore is bonds to the cloth weave thicker than the blue does which in turn creates more resistance to a rolling ball.
PS, it also effects the stretch of the cloth when installing both cloths, green has less stretch to work with than blue has, which is enough to be noticeable when installing both colors of Simonis cloths of the same weave.

how about that
i wouldnt have believed it either, sounds like one of the many , just silly superstitious things you hear at the pool rooms

A+ answer.
So since it is intrinsic to the dyes, is it fair to conclude that the same thing applies to the 300 rapide carom cloths?
Not really because of how thin the cloth is, it's hard to build in friction.

i find that hard to beleive that there is that much difference in making one color from another
but if you say so i wont disagree

With all the technology available it sure seems like this shouldn't be so.
Remind me not to board the space shuttle Simonis.

I hear ya, but the only difference between the cloths is the color, yet anyone who's played 14.1 on both colors will know that the green plays more sluggish breaking out the rack vs the blue.
When Simonis came out with the 860 that just killed playing 14.1 as 760 was the perfect cloth speed for that game. I didn't notice the speed difference between green vs blue until i played some 14.1 on the blue, that's when i first noticed there was a difference, that's when i started looking into the why is there a difference between the cloths.
Thank you for the information!

One more question on this topic of table speed. Does ball cleaning solvents make the table play faster by changing the ball friction coefficient???
I always thought that the use of ball cleaners do funny things to the table speed and amount of skids .
