I’m not sure which cloth is out first, which is better.

I have the RP installed at home and I like it. But I’m a beginner (start playing 3C and only score once in a while).

When I went to Colombia, I got introduced to Buffalo (they are not made in Colombia). They also have Royal in their cloth name - Royal Plus - claimed to be 100% synthetic as well.

If you’re not financially affiliated with neither of these, and have experienced playing on both of these, I’d like to hear some opinions.

I bought some of the Buffalo’s and plan to install one soon to do some basic tests to compare and contrast. My tests would probably very basic to begin with. If anyone has some scientific methods that don’t break my bank nor too hard to get set up, please let me know.

For now, I’m thinking of just shooting manually (a player using a cue stick) at low, medium, and strong force to compare total distance. Then I’d set up a ramp at different heights (L, M, H) so a ball can roll down on, also for measuring the total travel distance.

This would be done without heater of course, on the same table, same cushion, Same temperature.

This would only test the cloth speed, not their durability.

If & when that’s finished, I’ll report back up here.

In the meantime, if anyone have any data, pls share.

Thanks
 
Wow you went to colombia nice

Buffalo is a knock off of royal pro
Pavlos will tell you

Its almost a slap in the face that the name is near identical lol
 
Yeah that’s odd that both cloths start with Royal - which doesn’t mean much. But if I manufacture something similar after someone else did, I probably not gonna name my product similarly. Avoiding confusion to be the least.

That bring to the questions:
- how do a regular customer like myself suppose to know who’s first, and who’s second?
- other than first part of the name (it’s not unique by the way) is the same, is there anything proprietary about one brand’s cloth that makes the other’s infringed product? I don’t understand cloth - obviously - but if brand A is synthetic, brand B is also synthetic, right around the same price point, it’s only natural for customers to at least try them both once, correct? Unless one of the brand was proven copy infringement/faul play etc.

Having said that, I think if both cloths were manufactured under their own manufacturers’ formulas and what not (again I’m not technically well versed in this area) without any wrong-doing, and in reality one is much better than the other, it will prevail.

Just like Simonis 300 for example. Well, maybe with some help with the right marketing as well I suppose. :) No money no honey

So, to Royal Pro (RP) supporters: isn’t it more popular now anyway?
And, to Royal Plus (also RP, lol) supporters: maybe more marketing? Or if it’s really better: prove it somehow perhaps?

To me: get back to work, earn a buck or two to support more sets of cloths - because I need to replace for the table at my community center next week! 😂

To everyone else (who’s still reading): hope you have a great day. Go spend time with your love ones, but remember to save a little bit of time to play ... carom as well.


Good day
 
i dont believe there are brp supporters, because i never heard of it or anyone talking about it
it popped up after royal pro

There is no back of for brp" they dont have a web page

shoot, even simonis is copying royal pro with the NEW preci shot rail cloth thats 100 percent synthetic

a last bit, where the brp is sold, i wont mention, easy to find though,
that site sells cues for much higher than else where,

a 150 euro longoni is 200 dollars there

a 40 euro fuel threaded carom cue, is 100 dollars there!

so i feel the brp is way over priced

i know you wanted others opinions that have used it, but i honestly dont think anyone has
atleast not for the same price as royal pro

for all the help pavlos does as hes jetting around the globe
the the simplicity of it all

ill be loyal to royal pro
