I am coming up on 9 years on my cloth (Simonis 760). I have at least 10,000 rack on the table, but only about 100 break shots on the table. I, typically, just roll balls out and then shoot them; sometimes 14.1-like, others 8-ball-like, others, in rotation. The table has little burn spots when the CB was against the rail and I needed draw from a corner shot, some massé shots, the occasional jump shots, but no burn marks from head ball compression or bur lines from breaking from the same spot all the time.
