What is the quality cloth and how to distinguish quality from fake



Anyone who reads this blog agree that quality billiard table cloth is the cloth, which the players like.

But the player and the club owner or the owner of table are also interested in different qualities of billiard cloth so everyone defines what is quality cloth in different ways. It’s very important for owner of the billiard table to know how long the cloth will serve and how long it will keep the characteristics necessary for good game, how fast it will erase, etc. For player, the elastic of cloth is important, how well the ball is moving on the table, what speed of the ball and if it provides torsion.

To answer the main question "What is quality billiard cloth" we need to know how cloth is made.

All kinds of cloth, you can compare by the content of wool and polyester. In these materials, there are huge differences in quality, good quality - for high money, low quality - for low money, as everywhere else in the world. The best wool is Australian, it is very long and thick. This is due to the Australian climate, where there is no difference between winter and summer. In other places, such as China, the Czech Republic or Europe, there is no so long wool, but each centimeter has the impact on the quality of the material. So if you want to have the right quality billiard cloth, you can’t save, you must only use Australian wool. If you take the short polyester, after the game small hard balls will remain on the cloth, if the material is synthetic, there will always be problems.

Who produces high-quality billiard cloth?

Of course, there are world famous brands Eurospeed, Eurosprint, Simonis, Championship. They are produced in Europe. But there are cloth manufacturers in Turkey and China. But unfortunately the quality of cloth produced in China is poor. Chinese cloth can be sold well in the Chinese market, where the client doesn’t understand what is quality cloth. But it’s not impossible to sell it for the European market.

Turkey is also sells a lot of cloth with the composition of 95-100% polyester. Why is this bad? The elasticity of the cloth is low, it’s bad for player, acceleration of the ball doesn’t meet the need of play if the player used to playing on quality cloth, shot which he did thousand times successfully, on polyester he won’t do.

To learn quality of cloth we can in color. If we see the hooks on the cloth and it’s colored unevenly, there is no faith in its quality.

Thus you know that quality billiard cloth must: be made only from Australian wool, be flexible, made in Europe or the U.S., it should provide good acceleration of the ball and torsion.

If we analyze what can be called billiard cloth of high quality, we can tell about billiard table cloth Eurospeed, Simonis, Championship. This cloth is the most popular and in demand. But differ from each other, for example price. Eurospeed recognized as the best ratio ‘”price-quality”. So to find out what billiard cloth is better to buy I will analyze next time.
