Just an update, after two weeks of play, about 3 hours a day, the 30/30 cloth shows absolutely no ball marks whatsoever using Aramith Duramith Tournament balls. The slideyness is gone and my table plays much better than it did with the 860HR. Both cloths have the same specs, 70 wool, 30 nylon...

I have had a lot of cues at one time, had to sell most of them when I was laid off in 2006. I only have two left, and have been playing with the same cue for 7 years now. I still have pictures of all of them- -dj

The new Champ 30/30 cloth on my table is 30% nylon and so far shows no marks at all. The 860 showed all kinds of wear by the rack after a few weeks, but YMMV- -dj

There was a flood in their main manufacturing facility: https://www.simoniscloth.com/flooding/ I just had my table recovered with Championship 30/30. I like it better than the 860HR (which I had before), a little faster and less marks on the cloth. You may want to consider that cloth...

Yes, he does great work and is a perfectionist. I am really glad I purchased my table from him- -dj

I have had a chance to hit some balls and I like the cloth a lot. I went with the 30/30 because of the 860HR shortage, plus it costs less. It appears almost identical, however I felt some swatches of the cloth and it really stretches almost like spandex because of the high nylon content. It...

Mark Estes from Shay's billiards is here today putting Championship 30/30 on my table. His helper today is Vilmos Foldes! I couldn't believe it when they walked in. Vilmos signed one of my cueballs- -dj

Looks great! -dj

I also play with a Hsunami (Richard Hsu) kielwood shaft. His shafts are not lighter than a normal shaft, which is why I had him make me one. I specified 3.9 ounces, and it came in at 3.91. That matches the exact weight of my Tascarella shaft I was using. It does have LD properties, but not...

I used to live in the same town and he played in my pool league. Great cuemaker and a great guy- -dj

Also make sure your Rail Bolts are tightened to the right specs for that table- -dj

Another vote for Richard Hsu. The shaft he made for me was perfect, both tip diameter and weight. He did a perfect job matching the ringwork to my Tascarella. I like this shaft much better than the CF shafts I have tried, as it responds like my original maple shaft (it is maple) and has...

Yes, he uses what the table presents at the time, brilliant player-

I really like his thinking out loud commentary. -dj

It's about putting the balls in the pockets, how it gets done is irrelevant unless it is breaking the current regulations- -dj

I have him in my contact list- 925-366-6277.

I only have two left, my full-splice Tascarella Hoppe and unique Joey with a segmented handle. -dj

Actually, the torrefaction process removes all the moisture from the shaft. This is what makes the mass less. -dj

I tried most every type of CF shaft, and although I liked the Cynergy the best, I decided to get the Hsunami shaft from Richard Hsu. His shafts are not lighter than a normal shaft and the entire order is custom. I have to say it is a fantastic shaft with lot of feedback (which I prefer) and is...
