Fast cloth question

[eg9327]

Interesting comments about Olhausen. My brother has one and I constantly rattle balls on his table, but don't have that problem on my Diamond. Oddly enough his pockets are larger than mine. I had figured I was just playing crappy at his house.

According to the Simonis web site, the 860HR is slightly faster than the 860 (and more durable and longer lasting); the 760 is very fast and they suggest using it for 9 ball tourneys and 1 pocket.

760 is TOO fast for 9b/10b unless its in really humid conditions. Your statement is either misworded or vague. Simonis site does not recommend 760 for 9all. HR imo is best cloth they make. Faster than 860 and doesn't show burn marks as bad as 760 does.

no they rattle. but go in if it in the center or not too hard down the rail unless straight in line.. they are bigger pockets but tight from certain angles.
they are the best furniture looking tables. imo

Soft facings plus soft cushions equal facing angle changing to not deflect the balls towards the throat of the pocket, but rather across the pocket into the other soft facing, then out of the pocket.
