Hi everyone, I'm new to the site. Looks like a great place to get some info.
I just purchased a 2 year old 7' valley bar box. It's in great shape but has some stains on the felt. I need to get something new.
I'm going to be finishing my basement within the next several months. Probably won't start until after the holidays. In the mean time it will sit in my unfinished basement. I don't make it out much anymore so I've been dieing to finally get my own table (this is my first).
I've been trying to do some research on the best felts. I can't find much good info besides websites talking about whatever they sell is the best.
I have found repeatedly simonis 865 is the best. I've also run into championship, mali, and valley repeatedly. It sounds like I wanted a worsted wool but idk. Without playing on these different surfaces it's hard to choose.
I want something nice but don't wanna break the bank. I used to play quite a bit, and would consider myself decent. Probably just a little better than your average Joe. Nothing along the lines of a tournament player. I do plan on playing quite a bit and playing semi seriously now.
Sorry this is so long, but if anyone could give some recommendations and maybe give me some pros and cons of different cloth to help my decision I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
