WNT Florida Open: New Cloth Color?
- Thread starter JAM
- Start date
If it's Simmonis, it's dusty pink. It's actually kind of nice to play on.
That being said...can we just agree to go back to green.
What's with changing the ball and cloth colors all the time?
Stupid

I’ll never understand why Blue became the color. I’ve heard all the theories that are quantifiably untrue. Green is far and away the most aesthetically pleasing and takes more abuse from patrons too. Blue looks “good” for like 3 days maybe.

I hated the grey when watching on TV. However, I played on grey cloth on a Rasson table last week and liked the contrast against the Aramith Black ball set.
I'm not offended by this pink, if its not a joke. A Florida tournament is the ideal time to introduce such a colour (I believe there used to be pink on Miami Heat's NBA alternate jersey).
All that said, its another vote for green here.

Interestingly, a lot of these colors aren't available in 860HR, which means they're playing on the slower 860...
Respectfully disagree. Tournament blue was chosen after a scientific study of colors and contrast. Not an accident that the US Open Tennis tournament surface is practically the same color.
Matchroom is no longer using Simonis for their self-produced events, so all the Simonis comments are not applicable.
Its mostly for tv/streaming in both games. The contrast with blue is way better for video.
same. i love playing on grey. on tv i think blue looks better, but to play on grey is really nice.
the one in OP looks apricot colored. do they grow apricots in florida?
Given all the other weird shit they do, I guess that makes sense too.

Word on the street is Em will have bikini girls holding up ring cards between frames.As if Grey cloth, ugly balls wasn’t enough. Just when you thought this dummy couldn’t make another bad decision, she rises to the challenge and f**ks up again. I wouldn’t watch a MR event if hell froze over.
I liked the blue, I liked the green and I liked the grey. If this rumor is true, I'm sure I'll like the pink. Neither the brand nor quality of the cloth is being compromised here. This is only about the aesthetics of the equipment itself, so what difference does it make?
I guess I'm the oddball as I've never cared for green cloth even though that's been the on pretty much every table I've played on . I like the looks of the blue and grey and liked the blue table I played on . That pink doesn’t look too bad, don't think I would pick it but it isn't horrible.
Well damn, finally something I can get behind!Word on the street is Em will have bikini girls holding up ring cards between frames.

And if you were in Matchroom's Platinum VIP Club you got to vote on the theme. I went for the Orlando Disney outfit....Well damn, finally something I can get behind!
