) I use a ball polisher I made with some arimath ball cleaner and it works great. Now I installed the velocity on our main table that gets the most 9-ball action, our main table so to speak. I started using a break cloth on this table for the simple fact I have to recover it twice as often and it seems to be cutting down on the break lines. This table gets the most serious play in the house and gets the most wear and tear. I have very few traces of lines from breaking and the rack area is weraing in my opinion better then the last simonis I put on. I recovered this table the first week of july so it hasnt been that long but the amount of wear is tripple any other table gets here. For the price I personally think it is a great value, It's fast. It streches nice when installed. I have yet to have a player ask if it is simonis. They all assumeit is. I clean this table twice as often as my others as well. A little preventive maintainence goes a long way. But velocity is a good cloth and Rick treats me great and I will be ordering more cloth soon.
I just installed some Velocity on 2 Diamond 9ft ProAms here in Vegas a couple of days ago. One of the things I noticed I didn't like about the cloth, is the fact that the rail cloth is cut instead of ripped like normal cloth. I found out why, as you try to pull off all the loose strings...and there's a lot of them trust me...LOL it wants to unravel at the edges, Simonis don't do that, neither does Championship. Also, I install the cloth tight, probably tighter than anyone else does, so the cloth has a tendency to track the balls, and is noticeably faster than Simonis 860 is, maybe even faster than 760 too, not sure about that as I haven't installed 760 in I don't know how long...LOL. I also had to tighten up the feather strips, as the cloth is thinner than Simonis, that's what I took off the tables, which was more faded out, than worn out. For the price, it seems to be a good alternative to Simonis, but not in the same league as Simonis. My only complaint about any Simonis cloth is the Tour Blue not holding its color any better than it does. I do think so far, that the Velocity's an alright cloth to install on pool room 9ft tables, but I'd doubt it's ability to hold up in the bar table industry, as that industry can test the best of any cloth made today...by any manufacture. For bar tables, my first and still my best cloth for the job, is either Championship 3030, or the Titan...hands down.Dartman said:
I agree with glen, for larger rooms with 9ft tables it is very cost effective compared to simonis. Seems to be wearing well too. 4 months on our main table here and still holding up great. No holes, very few burn marks. Color looks great. My maintainence routine. Brush lightly, vacum with shop vac and 7inch brush attachment. Quick clean to finish. Clean and polish balls weekly. Works like a charm and keep our equipment in tip top shape! I sold some velocity to the american legion here in town for their 8ft valley bar table, So this will be a good test for that playing enviorment.
