poolhall maven said:Beg to differ--it is plain old wear and tear. We put on simonis last week and you can see the wear already. It makes me ill! Centenials or super aramith doesn't much matter. If you ask me Simonis is laughing all the way to the bank while the room owner replaces the cloth more often.
If it was my room, the new simonis was installed properly, the ball sets were in good condition and I maintained the tables (cleaning table and cloth) and I had noticeable wear after a week I believe I'd be on the phone to Ivan Lee at Simonis in Chicago to ask why. The Simonis hallmark is quality which I'm sure they aim to maintain especially with new cloths coming to market.
As a side note Aramith (Saluc) has acquired C.L. Bailey/Level Best - the folks that just introduced Velocity Pro cloth.
