Hi guys, I am sure this has been asked before however I can't find it in the forum. Short version of a story is that I have a new Simonis cloth in my favour, and I must choose which version and color I want (to be used in the future on my home table when the current cloth needs replacing)
To the best of my understanding (please correct me for anything that is wrong!)
Simonis 860: Tournament cloth used worldwide, most precise, also slowest
Simonis 860HR: Similar to above, little faster but more hard wearing, often found on tables that get a lot of use
Simonis 760: Fastest of the three and is the predecesor to the seemingly better 860
As it is unfortunately not realistically possible to "test" all three, what do you usually base a decision or recommendation on? or is it purely personal preference?
How big or noticeable is the speed difference between the three? If the 860 is "most precise", should that be understood as it being the most reactive to spin, in which case it is the "slowest" to outright roll but is also the "fastest" with spin? Or is it simply more precise due to it being slower and the balls will "only go as far as you hit them"?
Thanks! Martin
