Simonis 760 question....

If you live in a really humid area would 760 be a better choice than 860 or HR? I know its super-fast when new but i would guess hi-humidity would slow it down some. Yes/no?? Thanks

I put some on my gold crown one time and the durability of it was very poor. Holes popped up all over the place after about 6 months. I don't feel it's a better choice any where or any time.

How did holes 'pop up'? Is it that thin? I guess HR is the way to go.

Like popcorn on a stove.

I don't personally have any experience with 760. But I think it is interesting that when John Schmidt was doing his high-run attempts at Easy Street Billiards, which is just a few blocks from Monterey Bay, the cloth was 760. It did not seem overly fast in that high-humidity location.

Not sure if it is of any interest nor have I used it, but Andy 900 is supposed to be made for high humidity environments.

860HR is humidity resistant, 70% wool, 30% nylon, just like the 760 is.
