In all honesty, unless you like vacuuming, you're better off going to a big box store and getting a generic "roomba" robot vacuum for under $100.
They have short bristles... it doesn't matter. They aren't like the old "beater bars" of days gone by. I've used one for several years, the pool hall near me uses one daily for several years. They don't hurt the cloth and they save you the tedium of doing it yourself. You literally sit the thing on the table at the end of your session and hit "30 minutes." They can even work in the dark.
