All,
I am buying my first pool table after renovating our basement. It will be an 8 foot from Canada Billiards (I cannot accommodate a 9 foot unfortunately). The following cloth choices are available from the manufacturer:
Heritage
Simonis
Master Speed Teflon
Velocity Pro
Hainsworth Smart
Strachan
If I buy the table with one of those cloths then the manufacturer will cloth the rails as part of building the table. The local dealer will cover the slate upon install.
There is another cloth available, but only by the dealer - Championship. It does get a good rating from what I can tell from the Internet but my concern is that the rails will not be done by the manufacturer - the dealer will do everything.
I don't have tremendous confidence in the dealer as pool tables are not the only thing they sell and when I asked about a relevelling after a month or so due to the table being installed on new, thick pile/padded carpet, they balked at it.
So - I feel like I want to have the manufacturer at least do the rails which ties me to the first list of cloth. I regularly play on Simonis at a local pool hall but I have read many posts saying to NOT get Simonis for home. I can't find much info on the other 5 cloth's from that list.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
