Haha, that's the one, Dean. Hainsworth Club, probably their entry cloth. You could put that on your stairs as long as you have a good underlay...

Speak to Geoff. He will sell you one.

Am I the only guy on here with 2 tables?

Just out of curiosity, how long should a cloth last, I take it they have an hour rate on them kind of like a light bulb, the cloths at our club need mowed more than brushed, the cloth nap seems very thick don't know what the cloth is called.
You lads with you own tables are very lucky I am extremely jealous.

One table enough for my home, Philip

Parallel snooker - might be a new one. Don't they have it in chess? Could be quite challenging when you're on a maximum at both tables simultaniously...

[philip in china]

With one table in Europe and one in China it would be a challenge.

yepp, especially trying to break Ronnie's record of the fastest max ever played....

Yes, but isn't the one in China a 5' x 10'? It doesn't count

Yea, Philip, take that. You tell him, Terry...haha..

[philip in china]

It is true. I could have got a full size as I had space but decided on a 10' and kicked myself every day after!

As the rules of snooker say it is played on a table 12' x 6' one could argue that anything played on a smaller (or larger should they exist) table is not snooker.

Anyway a10' table is better than nothing.

I have to call the table fitter tomorrow with the hope he will be here at the end of the week!

If you haven't already bought the cloth then get a Hainsworth Precision as they play beautiful and keep their speed and I'm not noticing a lot of wear on mine

[philip in china]

Already got the cloth, plus a spare, but next time I get one it will probably be a Hainsworth Precision.

I've just played some days with this cloth but it's really beautiful. No wear noticable on and round the spots. I have a room humidity 55..60 % controlled by a dehumidifier. When I switched on the table heater to 26 C the cloth even got a bit faster. Very high accuracy with no efford to control the cue ball.

I love that cloth!

I cover tables for a few professionals and the consensus of opinion with them is that they prefer No 10. Although fast they do not like the playing characteristics of the Match or Precision cloths. They say that there is a delay before the cue ball reacts which is not found on the tournament cloths that they are playing on. Personally I cannot see how a 25 oz cloth could possibly wear better or longer than a heavier cloth. That will remain to be seen. I think it's horses for courses. It will suit some people and not others.

[Tommy68]

Yes maryfield, the delay is clearly to be seen especially on shots with a bit of pace or spin. I agree that the professionals prefer #10 as the tournaments will be played on it too. On the other hand the delay is a thing you can get used to very quickly I think. A pro should adapt more or less instantly.
