Granito Cloth
skydawg,
I have played extensively on Granito Basalt. It is an excellent cloth, and in my opinion plays just like Simonis 760. The drawback to Granito is its lack of availability. It is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get.
Conversely, Simonis is always available. Furthermore, Iwan Simonis (company) has been very good to me. For those reasons, I only sell and install Simonis.
However, your question is about Granito. So, in that regard, I want to state that in my experience, it is among the very best of billiard cloth.

I've never bought anything else but Granito M for 3C. I think its a touch faster. Maybe 18" on a 10 rail stroke. Impossible to prove although.
Granito makes excellent cloth. I used Basalt in the pool room for many years before 860hr was available because I found it to play great and be more durable than regular 860. I always figured the reason Simonis made 860hr was to compete with the durability of Basalt and Tour Edition from Championship. The Tournament 2000 is a bit thinner and plays a bit faster than Basalt. Meuller is the exclusive distributor now, and has always had it available when I have called.
Was wondering if it might be a good choice for my Anniversary table,I think the rail rubber may have hardened a bit. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

The first best thing that should be done to improve the table is to have those cushions replaced. If there getting hard you will not like the play and is a waste of your money to install new cloth without having the rails updated to the cushions that are available today. The cushions on the anniversary have been discounted and are no longer available so the rails will have to modified to accept k-55 chushions. Mark Greagory is the guy to contact for a top notch rebuild. Then you can worry about cloth once you get the table up to par.
Enjoy'
