Thanks troll...er, I mean trob, for offering nothing constructive to this thread and for your evaluation of my emotional state regarding my purchase. Gold star, champ! "I've never heard of the company who made the table" Use google. Everyone else does. The world is a big place.

Thanks for all the advice. I should have mentioned that the 'mechanic' did say that the slate did crown and he did his best to get it to level out. With this particular table (Canada Billiards Invitation) the slate is 3 piece with screw downs on the perimeter - none in the middle. It's not one...

Update - So I hired a 'mechanic' to come re-level my table. He has 15 years experience and seemed to know his stuff. The original installers used business cards and a carpenters level. The new guy pulled out the biz cards and used wood shims and a machinist level. After much shimming and level...

I'll give that a try. I have been using the brush attachment on my vacuum so maybe thats the issue. I have the airy type upholstery attachment. Thanks

Just bought my first pool table - Invitation by Canada Billiards - got it Tuesday. Been playing on it and have noticed a slight drift on one side. Using a carpenters level (I know, not the best choice) it appears to be about a 16th of an inch low on that side which would explain the drift in...

Awesome. Thank-you all for your quick replies. It has mostly been the pool table dealers that have advised against Simonis saying it wears quicker, it shows burns easier, and its more expensive. I want the best cloth so Simonis it is. Now I have to figure out if I want 760 or 860. :confused...

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...
