I grew up in the 50's and 60's when America had class. We don't anymore, and it shows everywhere; churches, movie theaters, fine dinig establishments, so why not at a pool tournament. I was fortunate enough to see Willie Mosconi in person many times in exhibitions and actually got to sit with...

I am a perfectionist and will only play on the best there is , or I wont play at all! I know I'm weird , but I've been around this game since 1960 and I won't waste my time ( the little I have left ) playing on junk. I don't think I have ever had cloth more than a year before I replaced it...

I love the reply that said Diamonds are ugly, cause I sure agree ! I'm a Brunswick fan from way back to the earlies 60's . Actually thats when the Gold Crown first came out. So that sure would be my choice.

Simonis 860 has more wool content than Tour Edition making it slightly slower but doesn't show the burn marks as bad.

Yes it was Felice!

yeah it was Simonis, but had not been sheared properly!

Regarding my earlier posts as to all the fuzz coming off Simonis cloth, it was really defective.. Anyway, a nice lady at Simonis in Illinois replaced it with the real thing. Very nice of them, considering I had it on the table for 4 months before I realized it was bad. Thank you Simonis!

That is one beautiful setup you have there, if thats you with the Centennial table!

Thanks, I install my own and others over the last 60 years and I never would install upside down! I'm gunna try the black light again tonight when its dark, since you said how small the numbers are,

ok thanks. I went out and bought a black lite and there is no numbers or leltters on the surface of the cloth. Does that mean I have a bootleg cloth that some ebay dealer is swindling people with?

could you tell me how you got a hold of Alfred at Simonis? Telephone or email?

Sure like to get a hold of Simonis people and see what they can do to correct this for me, and everyone else! That's probably impossible.

Wow, what a bummer! I guess I'm not the only one to experience this! Very disappointed!

Thanks for all the replies! I've been around a long time and have tried many different kinds of cloth. I like Tour Edition 3030 and that didn't seem to leave fuzz. This time I went with the best, so I thought. And yes it is very dry here in Phoenix and much cooler this time of the year. And...

I have 6 month old Simonis 860 and the balls, Centennials, are picking up fuzz as they roll along. I keep the tablel and balls very clean. I've brushed the table, vacuumed it, used the Simonis pad, and ran a slightly damp terry cloth over the surface, all to no avail! The fuzz keeps coming...

I have Simonis 860 cloth about 6 months old and the balls, Centennial, are picking up fuzz off the cloth. Now I keep this table and balls very clean . I have brushed the cloth , vacuumed it, and used the Simonis cleaning pad, all to no avail. And also a slightly damp terry cloth. No matter...

FUNNY!!!!!

OK, thanks for the replies, even the somewhat nasty ones! I would have never dreamed of black cloth, but it came with the used table and I thought I'd try it since it was in great shape and I was still able to properly install it. As it turns out it looks great with my room decor and the wife...

It seems like Simonis cloth, definitely worsted wool and it is black and the dye comes off on my hands as I play. Hand gets pitch black and it isn't dirt as I brush, vacuum, and wipe down with a damp rag frequently. Any way to stop this?

I have new Championship Tour Edition 3030 cloth and after 5 minutes of playing all my Centennial balls have fuzz on them from the cloth. What is going on? I live in Phoenix which has virtually no humidity and I'm sure that helps static electricity build up on the rolling balls. Is there any...
