Our local pool team have just moved to a new pub and the table is in need of re clothing so was wondering what cloth was best to get its a 6x3 supreme prince table. Any advice welcome.

Best Cloth for pool table
we went through this a few years ago and we had Strachan 6811 and it was beautiful but within a few months it had stretched and was so loose when you placed your hand on and slid forward you had a fold
we then went to Hainsworth Match and no problems at all.
They have higher level cloth called Precision but it will probably need replacing after a season.
The Match is still going strong

if the playing area is about 6ftx3ft then it's actually called a 7ft table - it would be very unusual for a pub table to be a 6ft table - ie a playing area of about 5ft x 2.5ft ...Originally Posted by dave121260 View PostNo it's defo a 6x3

not a blonde moment - it's just very confusing ... so according to pool table manufacturers, snooker is played on a 13ft table because they include the width of the rails in their measurements ...Originally Posted by dave121260 View PostAh right I get you know lol I knew that but for some reason the the penny never dropped blonde momentComment

Most pubs around our way use 6foot tables. But you are right, the measurement is taken over the whole table not the playing area.Did you put my "1" up ?

As a Billiards fitter who re-covers pool tables , the main cloth I get asked for is
Strachan 6811 pool this is a good standard
an upgrade from that is Strachan 6811 tournament , I get one Club in Newark who have their tables re-covered in only Strachan 6811 tournament , but I must stress it needs Brushing ironing often to play well.
just recently a club in Derby has asked for Hainsworth Match x 2 tables and one in Hainsworth precision.
as for Strachan 6811 slacking off then that would mainly be down to the way the table was recovered , if they used spray on glue this always slips back after a recover producing slack cloth .
if they used contact adhesive and allowed around 15 to 20 mins to go off it would stick and not slip.
Too many speed fitters rushing re-covers ,
When I do a table I strip all cushions of every staple then put them to one side , then strip and clean slate off , glue cloth and slate , then I recover 4 cushions , this is enough time for the glue to go off slightly , wet contact adhesive is no good it has to be almost dry to the touch and then it grabs solid , if too wet it will slide back .
the spray on glue never sets quick and if the cloth is pulled over the slate when the glue is wet it will slip back loose.
I would say the most popular cloth is 6811 Pool followed by the 6811 Tournament , then Hainsworth Match .
Strachan 777 and 6811 club is for youth clubs and for tables where they have no pool team . Same goes for Hainsworth Smart .[/SIGPIC]http://www.gclbilliards.comComment

Cheers Geoff I was thinking of something quite durable but not like playing on a rugby field we don't have an iron and a lot of students play there during the week so the only time it gets looked after is when I get there hours before the match starts to have a practice what would u recommend ? Thanks

from Geoff's post I would say the "durable but good playing field" would be 6811 Pool or Hainsworth Match.Up the TSF! :snooker:Comment
