Advice for table cloth

I recently bought this bar box that I'm cleaning up and it is dire need of new cloth. The table is an mdf top that's slight longer than 5.5'. I know it's not a preferable table to play on but I wanted something that will fit at my new play and I didn't have to worry about getting that crap used out of it.

So my question is what are my options for a cloth that I can use for it? I would like to keep it as cheap as possible but would like it to be playable.
 
Table

I've got a LOT of odd sizes pool table cloth from the ends of bolts/rolls or short cut of pool table cloth.
Just about every color in the rainbow. Here's what I've got ready to go in green. I've also got a few remnants of just about every major cloth brand known to pool tables.
I've got what you need, give me a shout.

Thank you all for the great advice and resources. One final question, since it is a small table do I need a smaller ball size to match?

Most likely you have a Bar Box Pool Table used in taverns.
Ball size is the same for all table sizes.

[COLOR]="Red"]***** Depending on the brand of table you have, may need a special type of cue ball for a Tavern Table (Bar Box).
Some tables need a "magnetic", some a "weighted", some need an "oversized" cue ball.
The brand and model and some pictures will help determine the type.*****[/COLOR]

Unless you have a fold-up table used for child's play.

How small is small?
Pictures please.

That thing looks scary. That divot scratched in the end of the table will not help with how it plays unless you like balls bouncing around.

I see people on the computer forum trying to "upgrade" their 14 year old laptops by spending $200 on more RAM and other parts, I suggest you do the same thing I tell them, you can get a normal much faster and better device for the same price that you would spend working on this one. I got a 8' slate table free on craigslist, cost me $300 to put on new Simonis cloth on it. You will spend money on pile of junk and end up with a more expensive pile of junk instead of buying something for a few 100 and then actually having a usable table. People buy a cheap 1990 Civic then spend $5,000 on wheels and a sound system, they still end up with a 1990 Civic LOL.

A table like that I would take for free and haul it away to donate to some kid club where they try to break things, you said you "bought it", I am a bit afraid to ask how much was paid.

You catch on quik dont'cha? He' s pulling your leg.

You and your buddy's just want to have a little fun right? Buy 6 foot of a cheaper cloth other than Titan. Sounds like you won't notice the difference.

Your balls should measure 2 1/4". You could modify the inside of the table to use a standard cue ball.

Ok I'll check around for a cheaper cloth. The balls I have are that 2 1/4" cue ball 2 5/16". The rail to split up the balls is 2 1/8". I should widen this to work with balls?
