New Cloth Colors

[Straightpool_99]

Apple green looks good in pictures, but I worry it might be a bit bright in real life. I had powder blue on my table when I had one. It's a subtle color that goes well with many interiors and is not harsh on the eyes. They played World Championships on it back in the day:

If I had a mansion with a billiard room, I'd go for Simonis green, every time.

I wouldn't buy Simonis at all. I have been using the Championship 30/30 Tour cloth for years now. It is faster than 860 HR, lasts twice as long and costs less.

I like the Steel Gray-

Why not just invest in really good lighting? Would be cheaper than cost and labor for new cloth.

You might want to consider the combination of cloth and chalk… Here’s a post from a couple years ago about that:

I am just wondering if my mechanic would be able to get some Simonis 760 in Powder Blue from Europe? It's not available in the states. If he could do that I would go with the 760 Powder Blue on the Gold Crown IV and the 860 Apple Green on the Diamond Professional.

Perhaps I should check with him and the Simonis office up near Chicago.

Yes, be sure to check with them both.

Most of us have the recovery person order the cloth and install it.

I'd make a new thread with a poll

Should I check with him and the Simonis office up near Chicago?
or
Should I create a new thread asking the forum what to do?
or
Should I scan my own posts about cloth color and speed which there are many of, and use that information?

Call the Simonis North America office in Libertyville, IL and ask to speak to Felice. She is the account manager and handles most of the big accounts for them.

I once asked if Power Blue was available. It is a nice color. She said no, and to get it they would have to dye an entire bolt. $16k worth of cloth.
