I've purchased both felt and worsted cloth of a variety of weights. The felt cloth tends to pill and shed, requiring constant brushing to remove the pilling. It is also much slower and is subject to ball burns anywhere you frequently strike balls hard with some spin. This is simply the result of friction from the spinning ball. I decided to go with worsted after one of my felt cloths faded badly due to sunlight shining on it grough a window. I was tired of the pilling and scorch marks and decided to buy a good worsted but couldn't justify the cost of the top brand.I went with a well known also ran and was quite pleased with the non-pilling worsted material. I was still getting some burn marks at frequently used break positions, for example. On my next recover I went all the way to the top of the line worsted. I was immediately impressed with the weight, toughness and speed of the slick new cloth. I have been playing on it for over a year now and it is very resistant to ball burn marks and there is no pilling at all. Yes, it is expensive but I will buy the best again when it is time to resurface my table. Good video on a subject that is often overlooked. In this case, you do get what you pay for, in my opinion..

@AverageJoesPool 2 года назад

Yes, if you are a seriously player then a good quality cloth is a must. You want ot get the best you can within your budget. If you only play once in a while, or its in the kids play room etc the a cheaper cloth is fine. But if you're getting seriously into pool it is a good idea to invest into a better cloth. Simonis is the brand leader, and their HR cloth is very resistant to burn marks (white spots), but you are looking at several hundred dollars for Simonis cloth. But if the budget allows and you play quite a bit then it's a wise investment. Great tips, thanks for sharing your experiences!! :-)

@stevenpurcell4292 2 года назад

@@AverageJoesPool Simonis 860 is on the table now. It replaced Champion worsted, another good cloth at a lower cost than Simonis but I could tell the difference immediately. Now if i could just keep the cat off of it.

@live4theleafs11 Год назад

Hey guys, I'm a daily player for about 1-2 hours. Do you find Simonis lasts longer too? Or does it just play better? What kind of life can I expect from both types u speak of? Thx a million for the help 🙏

@scotteggert7479 Год назад

This might be off topic but can I make a set of extra rails that seat inside my table rails in order to create a carom table. Which would obviously be smaller than my current playing area

@AverageJoesPool Год назад

Well, anything is possible. It could be a nightmare though. The rails are bolted through the slate so there is no movement, having 'floating' inner rails you'd need to think of some way to secure them. It's one of those projects that is absolutely possible, but when you start thinking of the complications it gets quite complex pretty quickly.

i'm making a custom portable table that might not get much use, would i be able to use a polyester cloth instead to save cost? i'm having issues finding info on fabrics and where i can get them in one length( i also want it in purple, which is why i'm more inclined to polyester)

@AverageJoesPool Год назад

You may be better off buying a cheap pool table cloth from Amazon (or similar) in the long-run. The problem with cloths is they react differently to the balls, especially for spin. So when you apply spin you get a feel for how far the ball will travel before the spin takes, and of course this can vary somewhat between different cloths, age of cloth etc. When you're looking at completely different fabrics it is likley to have an effect on the way the balls play and how the cue ball grips in on spin shots. Hope that makes sense! So sticking with a cloth designed for pool, even a cheap one, would likley be better than going into fabrics not designed for pool. It could go either way though!!

Any advice or videos on smoothing out a high spot from I believe moisture (pool table was stored in a basement for a few years & a mouse made it's home on it, so you can guess what the "moisture" is from) on a wooden pool table top? We already plan to refelt & change out the bumpers, but I don't want to do anything if it's not possible to smooth that out without making any low spots from sanding.

@AverageJoesPool 11 месяцев назад

@@kuliii Well, you probably won't like my advice... If it's a wooden top table then it may not be the best investment to put money into replacing the rail rubbers and the cloth TBH. A better option might be to buy a cheap used slate pool table, which can be picked up REALLY cheap (sometimes even for free if people need to move or need the space in their house quickly for renovations etc). If you get lucky the rail rubbers won't need replacing and so that would be a bonus! And then re-cloth that table instead. A slate table would give you a much, much better experience for playing that the wooden one ever will. I hope that's of some use/help for you 😃

@nickg505 2 года назад

Any suggestions on black felt? I'm going to use jet black and u sure which kind I should use. I'd guess napped would prob not be as black?

@AverageJoesPool 2 года назад

It would be worth having a good deep think on the best colour to use, as black is often listed as one of the worst cloth colours. It may depend a little on how often you intend to play and so therefore if things like eye fatigue and likely to be a potential issue down the line. Tournament Blue tends to be the favourite, and it definitely has a number of advantages. It may be worth taking a look here: forums.azbilliards.com/threads/billiard-table-cloth-color-a-survey.179148/ Best of luck!

@nickg505 2 года назад

@@AverageJoesPool Thanks for the reply. Refurbishing a pool table and wanted to do white with black felt, as it's contrast is so striking. I'll prob have to keep a brush and vac nearby lol

@rob431 2 года назад

Can you make a napped cloth faster? Maybe by brushing a lot ?

@AverageJoesPool 2 года назад

The best way is probably keeping it nice and clean, and the same for the balls as well. You could also look at waxing the balls which would add a layer of silicone, but wears off after 10-20 games usually. Constant brushing it may raise the nap rather than reduce it. You could also look at ironing the cloth, but please be sure to research that properly before doing it DIY as you can damage the cloth if you run the iron too hot. Best of luck!

@barnseyarmy6102 Год назад

Napped cloth is actually more expensive than nappless cloth. For example, strachan superfine is a napped cloth but costs close to £200. On the other hand a high quality nappless cloth like the hainsworth elite pro costs roughly £140.

@AverageJoesPool Год назад

Yes, things are pretty different in the UK. In the UK napped is the standard and what everyone wants, and napless is the secondary option. In North America the opposite is true (for pool). £200 is cheap for a top-tier cloth!! By contrast, Simonis 860HR cloth here for a 9ft table sells in the $350-$400 (US) range, over £300. Just different horses for different courses I guess!! :-)

@abbasatieh9500 Год назад

where can i get some good quality worsted cloth

@AverageJoesPool Год назад

We have some Amazon link in the video description for some of teh best value ones. If budget allows then the best is probably Simonis, which is used in most tournaments.

Napped rolls slow. It's only used on cheap tables.

@AverageJoesPool 7 месяцев назад

Yes, napped rolls slower (as covered in the video). But it's not quite accurate to say it's only used on cheap tables. Napped is the standard for all snooker tables, and also far more common the worsted on pool table in the UK (and other parts of Europe too).

@Seri-Katil 2 года назад

Napped cloth isn't good cloth at all. It's like playing pool on sand, it's slow and limits the shots you can do and also makes learning the basics such as speed control and positioning harder vs Simonis cloth

@AverageJoesPool 2 года назад

Yes, napped and worsted can play quite differently. That said, snooker guys play on napped cloths, as do English pool players often, and they've been known to pull off a good shot or two ;-)

@AlexZander688 3 месяца назад

Elite Snooker tours and Chinese 8-ball tours play on quality napped tables. I am confident those tables used on those tours are using a very high quality. ...The players and their excellent fundamentals/techniques can adjust to playing on different cloths if need be. ...Just like golfers playing on different grass materials. Pool/Snooker players practice and adjust to the different table conditions.
