Simonis  860 Gold Pool Table Billiard Cloth Simonis 860 ® - The Standard for Pool (Worsted) Initially developed for 9-Ball. Slightly slower than the #760 Blend. Combed worsted wool, high thread count, and higher wool content assure long-lasting wear and reduced ball burning. Nap-free... will not pill, fluff, or shed. Available in 28 colors: Simonis is the only textile mill in the world dedicated to producing cloth for cue sports and all Simonis pool and carom cloths use  worsted wool  construction, making them very strong and very durable while maintaining the best possible playing surface.    Why worsted construction for pool?   Decades ago, worsted cloth was found to be a superior playing surface for pool and carom. The smooth, flat surface of Simonis worsted cloths does not "shed" (release random short fibers from the weave) or "pill" (the bunching of the short fibers on the playing surface).   Shedding and pilling can also lead to grooves or tracks forming in the cloth, negatively impacting play because the roll of the ball is affected by these problems.   Most of the world has changed to worsted cloths for the superior characteristics of accuracy, consistency, and durability, but sub-standard woolens or "felts" are still commonly available in the U.S. market, usually, as the basic cloth that "comes with the table".   So be sure to ask for Simonis cloth. A small investment now will bring years of better play, longer life, and increased enjoyment! How do I keep my cloth looking better and playing better longer?
