I'm getting ready to order new cloth and would like some opinions on the cloth. The 2 that I am considering is the Granito Basalt and the Granito Tournament 2000 cloth. I am putting this on a 8ft. 1995 Olhausen Sheraton - L series table.
Is there a big difference in durability between the two? Also, do I need to buy the over sized cloth or not? Thanks for your input and advice.

We've used Granito Basalt for years in the pool room, and have put the tournament 2000 on several home tables. The tournament 2000 is a lighter, faster version and because of that it is probably less durable than the basalt. It's still plenty durable for a home table, though. The last dozen or so cuts of basalt that we've gotten have been noticably "nappier" (fuzzier) and slower than what we've gotten over the years. I questioned this and was told that it was 'bolt varience' and that no one would notice. We noticed, though, and I would add Simonis 860 and Simonis 860HR, if your concerned about durability, to the cloths your considering.
 
Granito

I have had 2000 on my table for years and it is fast and durable. I wouldn't have anything else. Butterflycues
