760 or 860 simonis on a bartable

Asking for a friend, he has a valley bar box.

I would get 860 HR. I really don't enjoy a bar table that plays too fast. The HR should wear better and won't get nicked up as easy.

860 for sure. 760 is too fast for a bar table. I currently have 860 HR on my home bar box, but I prefer the regular 860 at my local pool hall. I will be changing mine soon.

Both are too fast. It's like playing pool on a knock hockey surface. Johnnyt

A couple years ago, Greg Sullivan of Diamond Billiards was exploring the possibility of having Simonis develop a slower "960" cloth for 7-footers, from the viewpoint that even 860 is too fast for 7-footers. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=354656 [I wonder if that project is still proceeding.]

760 would be an ice-skating rink on a barbox, use 860 or 860HR. We've got a couple of sets of 860HR for barboxes at a crazy price, pick them up at the Expo!

Yeah, I wish they would have done that
And tighten the pickets a tad, too
