As I’ve not saw two of these colors on tables. For those who have played on these tables with these colors what color do you prefer in Simonis, tournament blue, grey or powder blue. Thanks
 
I prefer blue but have only played on the Shark Grey in a couple matches. The gray looks better in the Mosconi Cup when the carpet is red/blue. Most home pool rooms will look better with blue because a LOT of people have gray walls. It always looks better with contrasting colors.

Tournament blue, if for no other reason than the most common chalk brand/color is Master blue chalk.
 
For playing, if limited to the colors the OP mentioned I prefer tournament blue. For watching on video I prefer the gray.
 
I like tournament blue because it just seems lively to me. Living in Michigan we don't get a lot of color in the winter time, and it's nice to see the bright blue. It is professional looking and not over the top so to speak in color, just right.
 
I prefer tan / gold tables, mainly because the same colored chalk will not stain traditional wood shafts nearly as much. CF shafts are another good solution to this issue :)

Carbon shafts will mark the cloth.

Yes, we’ve had that problem when breaking, when players bow their shafts in to the cloth on their follow through, like Johnny Archer.

Now this I don't quite understand, but at our local Activity Center we have a couple 8 ft pool tables, that when we break we use a break pad under the cue ball, at least most do. Some of the guys set the cue ball in front of the pad abutting its edge, and break off the table felt/fabric? I don't see the logic in it? I don't want to stir up the pot and question them, but maybe I should.

The pad is to keep the tiny "burn" mark from happening when the cue ball takes off sliding at high speed. Break from the same spot over and over and it becomes very visible. Ball in front of the pad would do nothing to help lol

Yes that's absolutely what I think and know to be true, and don't understand why these accomplished pool players would do such a thing.
