What Cloth?

Chadk · Jun 28, 2012

I am wanting to recover a 7' home table. (leveling was also an objective)
I really had my mind made up that i wanted the best so had decided on Sinomis 860HR. There is at least one instalation company trying to talk me out of Sinomis and into Championship.

I spend allot of time on the home table. Almost daily. I primarally play on Bar boxes that would have Championship (at best), but I do occasionally play on larger tables with better quality cloth, depending on where one of my leagues winds up.

I realize I may be training myself one way playing on Sinomis at home while quite a bit of competition is on lesser cloth.

Champion cloth is not a bad choice I played on an oversized 8 footer with new champion cloth loved it.

Probably because they have a difficult time installing Simonis which is common..
Regardless - Chump Ultra on a barbox plays fairly well. If that's what is used
in your area then it's probably a good choice to use on your home (practice) table.
Keep in mund that Chump offers several different styles of woven cloth and 1 worsted
(Tour Edition) cloth so you should find out exactly which style is mostly used in your area.

I'm a big fan of Simonis, love the way it plays and how long it lasts. I put it on my table at home because I wanted the best.

I figured if I practiced enough, my game should be good enough to allow me to adjust when I went somewhere with different cloth.

Since most of my playing / practice time takes place at home, I prefer to be happy.

YMMV

It was a close call when I covered my table... I spent a little extra getting 860 as opposed to a few other clothes (including the brands most common on the tables I play matches on) which were recommended by other people... Im happy I did. Get what makes you happy. They don't have to play on it everyday.

Since your table is smaller than most of those with Sinomis, I would go w/ the Championship. Hitting the right speed on that on the 7' would probably match better when U go big on the Sinomis. That's my 2 cent thinking. Hope it helps.

English

I agree with English. I have an oversize eight. I put a cloth on it that looks a little like carpet. (didn't know any better then) When I go out and play on nine footers I have no adjustment period for speed because the slower cloth on the eight makes my stroke just about right on the faster nine.

I always liked

Mercury Ultra on a 7 footer. I think it plays about right.

Get the cloth you want or like. Find a 1st class installer to handle the job. If you want Simonis...get it.
