It finally arrived. I guess it was held up in customs. It is green :rolleyes: , 80% wool and 20% nylon.

Our table mechanic can hopefully be nailed down to install it before the weekend.
 
Good to hear, does it come in all colors rackmsuckr? After watching the King of The Hill on t.v it makes me want some for my tables.
 
i have been very curious on how slow this cloth really is???snooker slow?and can you actually still move the cue ball without it feeling like your bashing?matt9ball

Good question, after watching the KOTH on t.v. i seen Corey get a bad angle but he sorta some what juiced up the CB and it died very fast after hitting the rail so seems like a good speed for me. And the draw shot Johnny did about a half a table and a diamond now that was a good draw shot so again sounds like a good speed for me LOL, as it being a different fast cloth that baby would of gone the full table and then some.
 
ok thanks.so would we agree its half the speed of simonis cloth both at brand new condition?i here so many people complaning about it so i wounder is it as bad as made out.personally i think its made out worse than it really is.

That is great. I find that my stoke is much improved on nappy cloth and as a result shots seem much easier. What I find different is that my position play is different at times than on faster cloth because I'm hitting the ball a little firmer which changes the path. In any event it is fun playing on.

Sorry Mr. Salazar, I have not visited this thread in some time. We went through Joe Aiello, who is no longer with the IPT. There is another gentleman named Albert who can also help you out. You can order from the website: http://www.internationalpooltour.com/ipt_content/store/product_lines/cloth.asp

It does not come in any other color than a bluish-green. It will say tournament cloth on the outside of the package.

This weekend, along with the cloth, we also installed new rails and switched out the cueball from a Centennial blue circle to a Super Aramith cueball that plays more like a Measle ball. The cloth is not nearly as slow as what we had, and the rails are now lively. With the new cloth, the pockets are much more forgiving - all in all still a tough table, but much better and enjoyable again. You can actually get the ball around 4 rails now. And balls are going in off the break.

So the speed is not as fast as 860, but still not that slow either. It may wear in, slow down and pill up, but so far, nothing noticeable.

One weird thing we noticed is that the balls wobble with the nap. A straight shot that is slow rolling stays on track but picks up a slight side to side wobble. Pretty strange sight to see. :eek:
