Yes, treat yourself to new Simonis, but not black! As you’ve found out, the far more visible burn marks alone are a good reason to never have black cloth, not to mention having to use black chalk!Pool tables make great gift wrapping tables!
Hopefully getting a new cloth after the Holidays. Any suggestions? Thinking about Simonis.
It's an 8' drop pocket table.
Merry Christmas if you celebrate.

Yeah plus the black fibers end up all over the balls. This was on the table when I bought it in June. It's a nap cloth so I do not expect to see the same problem with Simonis!Yes, treat yourself to new Simonis, but not black!

I do have a cover, especially because there is a cat! I was practicing last night and realized I had two more gifts to wrap.As well as the recovering, I'd suggest investing in a table cover?

You are not the only one.Simonis
I keep the Christmas stuff away from my table. To much glitter. I hate glitter in the cloth. Drives me crazy.
If you can get something over four lengths shooting the cue ball up and down the center of the table, the rubber is probably OK. You could test banks for consistency but you need to go at it pretty methodically to separate the table's problems from stroke issues.How can you tell if you need new rails? If I am going to get new cloth, that would be the best time to get rails. I think the person I bought it from said it was from the 80's - AMF HIghland Series.. No idea if the rails are that old or not.
First table I have ever purchased so forgive the newbie questions. Or should this be a separate post?
I have the exact same thing. Half-inch cut in the cloth, and a cut in the same place on the table cover. Grrr. But it doesn’t affect play, so no real harm except when I look at it.Wife used a table we had once that was covered, as a work table, when I took the cover off to shot some pool one day, it had a slit about 3/4" in it. Wife swore she didn't use a knife, but sure enough, when inspecting the cover there was a slit in it in the same area. Wasn't worth arguing about it. Slit never did spread or fray.
There are ways to mend the cut. The mechanics' forum can probably help with the current best practice.I have the exact same thing. Half-inch cut in the cloth, and a cut in the same place on the table cover. Grrr. But it doesn’t affect play, so no real harm except when I look at it.
Before I put my nice Brunswick cover on my GC I have a 4' x 8' x 1 1/2" thick piece of styrofoam insulation I put on the table. Then another older cover goes over my nice Brunswick cover. Work away, my table is pretty protected.Solved my situation with my new table in that the cover has been banned from use. Too easy to throw stuff on the table, and then either stuff starts to collect there, or things mysteriously happen to the table underneath. Vacuum it once a week, or sometimes more and stays nice and clean.
