Is there a way to tell simonis cloth from generic cloth

[Jody C]

Is there any markings on the bottom side of simonis cloth. Like a trade mark or name ?
Thanks, Jody

Simonis does have their name on the cloth and it's supposed to be put on so it faces up on the inner part of the rails I believe. The ball would never hit it so it wouldn't affect anything. A lot of table mechanics don't put it on that way though.

I have Gorina Granito M on my three cushion table and the name is printed along the long edges of the cloth. You may be able to find out by removing the long rails on your table if Simonis is labled in a similar fashion.

There are no markings on the bottom side.
On the top side the Simonis logo is printed on the finished edge of the cloth.
If you question the authenticity, shine a black light over the top side of the cloth
and you should see the logo and lot#.

That method is popular in Europe - kind of a status thing.
The printed logo should not be seen when installed correctly.

I have also heard that a black light will reveal secret makings
on Simonis. But I haven't seen this for myself.
