I have a bunch if SCRAP Cloth that is BRAND NEW from the last Recovering of our 26, or our 29 Pool, Snoker, and Carom Tables in our community room. It is Champion Tour Edition Green.

In the past it has been cut into Squares, and used as Shaft Burnishers, or the Squares work well to practice Masse, or Jump Shots as it is use to place the Ball on so no DAMAGE can be done to the NEW CLOTH.

Anymore idea for uses.

We use scraps in my room to break off of and it really saves the cloth, no holes from breaking in the same spot over and over.

I was think of getting a Cutting Dye mad to Cut the Scraps in the Shape of a Lilly Pad, and marketing them...

I'm so OCD I go one step further and put a piece of scrap cloth on the rail as well where I break from on my home table to avoid getting rub lines from the cue shaft.

The other great thing you can do with most good-quality worsted cloth like Simonis is simply turn it over. Often even a heavily worn cloth will look like new on the back side, and it will have a nice fuzzy felt feel to it. I've used old bed cloth to line drawers and to cover an old desk to make it into a toy train table for children.
 
When you recover your tables, take the old cloth and put in washer/dryer then use it to cover your work bench and shelves in your work area. It really makes a work area look great. I usually pick up a couple extra from the pool hall to use.
 
I use scrap piecs to clean the rails. My towels left little pieces of lint. Now, that problem is solved.
 
Well, Jay said to make I Like Mike campaign buttons from pool cloth. Let's see, a sharpee, the cloth cut in 3" circles and a safety pin... Oh! and wear it everywhere you go.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad to see some AZB member hit the JACKPOT!! You're on easy street now! Just think of all the GREEN you can make from the GREEN!!!!

Unlimited options...you can now start your own Grass skirt business!! As well as making some Shamrocks for St Patty's Day. OR, you could cut it into strips, then get some old TP rolls, and rewind them.

Hulk suits....you betcha'!

You can aways sew the strips together, then do some Kilt's. Or artificial putting greens? Or, Easter Basket Grass....that always a big seller!!

Yes Rick S you could even make a knockoff Domke Camera Bag for your PHD Camera Rick S, think that would look better than the Traditional Brown Domke Real Photographers use. Give the folks at Main Street Billiards a call maybe they will save the old table cloth for you Rick S so you can make a FAUX Domke.
 
WRONG again....

Most Pros use hardcases....just like in pool.

Think Zero Haiburton......

You are lost in a time warp somewhere...nowadays, there are things such as polycarbonate-kevlar reinforced aluminum cases.

Leather bag?....yeah right.

Most working photojournalists use a Donke , as they work out of a Bag, and do not have time to open a Hard Case. Jim Domke a working Photojournalist invent the product, for working Photojournalist, and filled the needs of this group of photographer well.

BTW Domke did make a Green with Leather Trim Bag back in the 90's when I was in the Profession. If you have one it is very collectable. FYI.

You are 1/2 right per the norm Rick S, Zero Haiburton aluminum cases were great for travel from point A-B, but when the works start notihng deast a Domke for the Working Photojournalist who carry from place to place what they need.:wink:
 
It really does

I played in a room years ago that did that same thing. It does work - saves a table from the wear and tear on the break spots.
