For the $$ CPBA is great cloth. Intersting fact: it's stretch index is about half as much as Simonis. It plays very nice. One hitch: the color fades fast, the darker colors are better for this. Espcially if the table is exposed to sunlight. Must be cheaper dyes. So many options for cloth, balls and tables these days. The quality of all is pretty baseline too!
Hi Trent,I am confused. I aint selling Simonis anymore( I switched back to Championship Tour 30/30), but I dont see any reason for this. Not a single customer has ever said: I think we want something different. I like the current standard and see no need for this. Predator Cloth is out and I am looking forward to trying their product, but they are not trying to re-invent the wheel. I know what the demand is for: FAST AND TIGHT CLOTH THAT LASTS< Last time I checked, what is out there works: Champ Tour 30/30, Simonis, Gorina Besalt, Andy, CPBA PRO And Predator. Trends and fads come and go, we shall see!!!

I do not. IMO: it is likely one of the current manufacturers: Champ, Andy, CPBA ??? Anyone else know?
Looks like it will work great on home tables and Valleys!My most played on table, a 9 foot Diamond with brand new Strachan Superweave. So far I've played 38 games on 10 ball on it, and it plays really nice. Very slick still (brand new cloth) but banks great, draw is effortless, and jumps are very easy. Definitely can already tell it will take burn marks a lot less.

It belongs to a good friend, we have that 9 and three 7s (all diamonds) in a shop that we rent. We have about a dozen members that share costs and can play any time day or night.
If you're ever in the area, let me know! (Eugene, Oregon)
I’ve been to Eugene, actually a spot called swisshome as I recall on hiway 36. Does that sound right? I took a bus there from Ca to visit my friend alone. I was 13 years old. My very first road trip. I knew them going places was my thing. No pool that trip. I’m 55 now so my memory isn’t 100%. Jack Burnett was who I went to visitIt belongs to a good friend, we have that 9 and three 7s (all diamonds) in a shop that we rent.

Yeah, I've spent some time in that area. One summer I was working a job in Florence and rented an apartment in Mapleton. Nice country. Got my first elk near there.I’ve been to Eugene, actually a spot called swisshome as I recall on hiway 36. Does that sound right? I took a bus there from Ca to visit my friend alone.

I’d love to swing by and say hello. Would be my honor. Nice looking spot and a great idea!
Thank you very much

Yea, I was going to get it put on my table when I moved it to a new place recently. My local dealer told me that it's like playing pool on ice
Unfortunately the table owner is not the person playing on the table. A lot of good players would like 7' Diamonds to play slower but they aint paying the bills. If people were to switch to slower cloth on the 7' tables I'm sure a lot of people would be very pleased about it then you would have customers asking for slower cloth. Even my 9' table is kinda fast with 860 on it, cue ball regularly goes 4 3/4 - 5 table lengths, I certainly wouldn't want it any faster.
I really agree with this!!!
This is good to know as I was just thinking about redoing my home table with Strachen.
So was I!!!
Miscue holes will show up on any cloth, I don't care what it is.
Anyone can shoot hard, not everyone can shoot soft. The Strachan Superweave is a bar table cloth, and everywhere I've had it installed in Washington State, the customers love playing on it!
Sir, if you say it's good, that's good enough for me
