My table is a 8 ft Goldenwest , with wide pockets , I believe my corners are 4 3/4 sides are wider , so very generous ! I want to put new cloth on . I’m struggling with ordering Simonis 860 not because of price , but for what makes sense to use on my type of table . Am I trying to put Candy apple red on a Ford Pinto here ? Any suggestions would be appreciated

Get CPBA. Great cloth for a good price. $153 for 8ft, 177 for oversize 8ft. https://www.amazon.com/CPBA-Competition-MG-700-Worsted-Professional/dp/B07PGT6CJX?th=1&psc=1 In a home setting it will last a LONG time. And its CLOTH btw, not felt.

I thank you for that ! You know I try to play everyday , but even with that being said Simonis 860 just sounds overkill for my Goldenwest 8 wide pockets , since I have you here garczar , my table cushions are original 1997 purchased , would you consider replacing them , even if they seem to play ok ? so I am going to your link ! Thanks garczar

I've played on it and can't tell it apart. Make sure you get right size as 8ft's come in two sizes. 44x88 will be regular and 46x92 is oversize. This is measured cushion nose to cushion nose.
 
Thanx to garzar and Wildwing for the ‘cloth’ correction....billiard cloth being called ‘felt’ grates on my nerves.
...it reminds me of when I asked a waitress for some extra butter....she brought me margarine.....
...I told her I really preferred butter...she said “What’s the diff?” I responded “How would you like it if I paid my tab in counterfeit money?”
