Which Simonis Gray Is Darker?

[Black-Balled]

As I've said many times about my light..........

It's a cheaper alternative and since I am almost always over at my unattached garage upstairs apartment (pic attached) during the daytime I don't really need a big time light. I am usually not over there at night.

If that changes once the cold weather hits then I will most likely pursue having a much nicer light installed.

And there is always the chance I might sell my Gold Crown IV and move the Diamond Professional into my basement. And, yes, I might also consider buying a new Gold Crown VII as well.

Bottom line is that current light gets the job done.

Stop being oppositional. You have a great table and the light should not be worst available.

Your setup is like a $5000 bike on a $40 car rack .

You need a purpose-specific light, especially "during the daytime".

Couple that with his "I'm looking to spend some money give me some recommendations post." He didn't listen on that post and wont listen now.

Forgot about that.

What should he buy is likely clear to anyone aware of his lighting.

Don't like dark cloth.

And since it seems as if most big tournaments are going to Grey I want to get the lightest version of Grey.

Why??? Only MR uses it. Are you planning on getting WNT-good???? FK, you can't even make a ball on the damn break, right??? Why would anyone buy a cloth used on a tour you will never see? Is it blotter or microdot cause you are trippin.

Why? You don't play in tournaments.

Grey or green - your floor says it all.

Me, not fond of the green.

your diamond table room is boring

i’ve been in zen buddhist meditation halls that were less austere

Holy light source, Batman, look at those shadows!!!!!

Can we see your current GC IV setup?

I can't believe you use that light for the Diamond still

This is what I currently have on my Gold Crown IV. The table is in the corner of the basement. I guess you could say that's my man cave down there but I don't spend much time down there except in the winter time when I am on my amateur radio station.

Is that a 3-light with fluorescent bulbs from 1999?

Why you doing this to your GC and Diamond tables

4-light and yes.

Because they work just fine for my purposes.

A dim bulb might be the problem with your break. Just saying, can’t hurt to look at all the variables.

Darker….lighter……it really matters very little to me since I think the color grey is just awful for a pool table cloth.
It broke my heart when Sierra Bar & Billiards recovered their Diamond pool tables in grey switching from tournament
blue. It is too light a color for playing pool and I’d rather they have used tournament blue, dark green or even British.
The owners swear they’d never pick grey again as a color for pool table cloth. It’s unattractive but a lot better than red.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but what cloth is everyone using?

I'm now considering a recloth and in two minds on whether to stick with Simonis 860, or should I switch to CPBA, which is what Matchroom/WNT are using.

 

[DrCue'sProtege]

It's a master, need to be removed period


Right, finally got his $9,000 brand new 9 foot diamond table that he was waiting for 19-months and ended up using a dining light from 1989... smh

Hey? Question?

You posted a pic of my Diamond Professional in Gray cloth, Can you post a pic of what it would look like with Apple Green Simonis?

When my x-wife informed me that it was her or the racecar my first thought was "I am really going to miss her"'

 

[jay helfert]

I have played on those same colors except purple but I did play on pink, black, and white zebra pattern table, it was beyond awful. The grey was nice to play on but to me it is not very attractive, kind of like a primered car.

A pool room back home in Dayton had gold cloth. Yep! I hated playing there even though I got some easy action.
