Cloth color

[bbb]

Tournament GREEN, with purple 4's orange 5's and MAROON 7 balls.

Old school…..

Ah bummer... something else I have to consider if I get a CF shaft. Currently using both original shafts and a Predator-Z, so I did not know about this issue. Thanks for that info!

I think it's only a problem if your really driving the shaft into the cloth and it's leaving a burn mark.

I find grey cloth much more comforting to play on. No real idea as to why.

Don't like garish or ridiculous colours. Blue, green or grey.

Carbon shafts will mark the cloth.

It has nothing to do with the shaft. Players mark up the tables by contacting the cloth with their tip and dragging it along the path of the cue ball. Cue tips might play a very small factor but regardless of the type of tip, those players will still mark up the cloth.

The Powder Blue used to be used alot years ago. I remember seeing the Mosconi Cup playing on it.

You might consider Apple Green. It's a brighter shade of green if the standard Simonis 860 Green is too dark. Attached are pics of both Powder Blue and Apple Green.

I have powder blue on my home table. It is fantastic for seeing the balls clearly (much better than neon tournament blue) and you can still use blue chalk.

Grey

A poolroom with anything other than Simonis green or Tournament blue would just not look right to me, although I accept that camel/gold and light gray are both very good colors to play on.

I liked the grey on mine but when it was time to change, I wanted 860HR and the only choices at that time were TB or TG. I ended up buying a new table and decided to stick with the TB. The Grey table below is mine, the blue is a bar shot.

Gray looks gloomy, blue looks awesome!

 

[Qaddiction]

I prefer the 860HR cloth. I'll stick with the Tournament Blue.

Yes, I believe the 860HR has always only been offered in TG and TB.

Part of what I liked about the Grey was the contrast of ALL of the balls to the cloth making to colors jump out a bit easier (old eyes here). I liked that part a lot. Part of what I DIDN'T like about the Grey was the depth of the shadows. The TB seems to show less severe of a shadow than the Grey did.
