    Understanding which Simonis cloth for next re-cover

    Thanks for the replies guys. My question really is how do I reach the "same" conclusion that rexus31 has done: Or put another way, if most people seem to be looking at either 860 or 860HR (both bar tables as Rexus31 has hinted to, and also pro and competition tables), why is 760 still...

    Understanding which Simonis cloth for next re-cover

    Hi guys, I am sure this has been asked before however I can't find it in the forum. Short version of a story is that I have a new Simonis cloth in my favour, and I must choose which version and color I want (to be used in the future on my home table when the current cloth needs replacing) To...

    Slow MDF table - Will better balls help?!

    Extremely late reply… but for the sake of anyone else searching the forum in the future… I have enjoyed the “cheap” MDF table massively. The cloth was not high quality, it was actually terrible, so anyone picking up something similar, beware of massive “ball burn”. In my case, the break point...

    Newly installed table, slates not even

    I agree… annoyingly there is a loose thread on the Simonis, and he may yet be back to replace it… from the limited insight possible through this meduim, what would you suggest making sure is done differently next time, just the glue joint? Thanks again!

    Newly installed table, slates not even

    Its a locally (Spain) produced table, mixed pool and dining table. Brand new, built to spec and with all the extras they offer (Simonis 860HR, Klematch cushions, leather pockets, Aramith black…) It has a steel outer frame and legs, with what seem to be four thick MDF cross beams holding the...

    Newly installed table, slates not even

    Thank you all for the great replies and suggestions. Having spoken with the manufacturer & installer (produced semi-local), he believes that the slates have shifted due to the weight of the table on the insulated laminate flooring. The suggested solution was to add a number of shims between...

    Newly installed table, slates not even

    Hi everyone, a couple of days ago I received my new pool table, and have been very excited about it for a long time. I added all the extras at quite some cost to make it the best possible table within the design and size for my room. It was installed and at the time, seemed ok, although the...

    Slow MDF table - Will better balls help?!

    Yes, the printed number Aramith's. They were about 40$ and even though they may or may not be below par on a half decent table when compared to the higher class Aramith's, I feel that the price and massive boost in playability on this MDF table make them a stunning option, still very happy with...

    Slow MDF table - Will better balls help?!

    It was a new table, so no mismatched balls, just with a really poor quality everything, the balls were obviously no exception!

    Slow MDF table - Will better balls help?!

    Hi guys, after a lot of thought following your input, I decided to mostly follow your recommendations and limit what was spent on the table, eventually going with a single improvement, the balls. I went with the cheapest set of Aramith balls, the Continentals, for about 40$, and, for the...
