Awhile back Greg from Diamond came on here and said he had talked to the Somonis Company about slower cloth. Anyone heard anymore about it? Johnnyt
 
Greg had proposed "960" speed cloth to Simonis. Without it even existing yet, I trust Greg and would be on board for it.

860 is fast on a barbox and 760 is criminal.
 
860 HR is WAY TOO SLOW for 9ft one pocket, and borderline for 9 ball, especially in humid conditions. Probably fine for a bar box though.

It is immediately noticeable when new and just gets worse.

Think sand box.

Greg is indeed encouraging Simonis to come out with something slower than the 860.... I would love to see it happen... Make the players actually have to have a stroke again.... The cloth at this point is too fast and too slick....

Greg went to Cyclop when Aramith refused to listen and develop a better ball set... He might find another cloth if Simonis won't listen.....
 
Im 46. Ive played on all of it.

860 is perfect for 1p and 9/10 ball on 9ft table.

Table I play on just went to 860 HR 3 months ago, and Im telling you that you cannot finesse bank a ball. I literally feel like I have to KILL it to get it to the hole. What is also counter intuitive to me anyway, is that kill shots dont kill near like 860. Go figure.

And I think youll find slick sliding cloth takes more stroke than you think.

Who cant draw a ball on carpet?
