Simonis 760™

Simonis 760™ is the fastest Simonis cloth for pool tables and can also be found on snooker tables when the players want to play ‘golf’ and where a color other than English green or yellow-green is desired.

It is a 70% wool / 30% nylon blend that is sometimes used for Competitive Pool Tournament Play. This cloth maintains its speed and accuracy over time and does not change the ball roll as it ages. The higher speed is great for Bank Pool, Straight pool, and one pocket as well as traditional 8- and 9-ball.

It is slightly faster than Simonis 860™, although the higher wool content of 860 will combat ball burns better over time. It is suggested you pair your Simonis cloth with a set of Aramith Belgian phenolic pool balls, which in conjunction with keeping them clean, will cut back on friction burns to the cloth surface. Aramith balls are pure phenolic and have the hardest composition and heat resistance compared to other balls with lower percentage phenolic or polyester (non-phenolic balls), which will degrade quickly over time.

Residue on balls can create friction that can burn or mark the surface of the cloth. While Aramith phenolic balls can burn the cloth surface, polyester balls leave some polyester behind. Keep your Aramith balls clean – to protect the cloth, and achieve the best performance and appearance over time.

The combed worsted wool and high thread count assure long-lasting wear.

Available in 15 colors.

Simonis 860™

Simonis 860™ was developed especially for 9-ball and has proven to be well suited for home use and the most popular color selection. Also excellent for ball action and traditional 8-ball. It is a 90% wool, 10% nylon blend.

While the speed is slightly slower than 760, 860 cloth has proven to combat ball burns better than 760 over time due to its high wool content. The combed worsted wool and high thread count assure long-lasting wear.

Simonis 860HR™

Simonis 860HR™ (High Resistant) has a speed between 760 and 860 blends (2nd fastest Simonis pool cloth-slightly ahead of Simonis 860), is a 70% wool and 30% nylon content (same as the 760 blend) but heavier than the 760 for increased durability.

While the speed is slightly slower than 760, 860 cloth has proven to combat ball burns better than 760 over time due to its high wool content. The combed worsted wool and high thread count assure long-lasting wear.

860HR has the same thread count as 860, with the shaving process changed slightly to leave a surface that is more or less a 100 % wool surface on the cloth, which is why the cloth doesn’t show marks/ball burns as much as 760 might.

Because of the weight, blend, and finishing of this cloth, the outcome gives the cloth commercial-grade durability and professional quality performance and accuracy while resisting the abuse of a high-use environment.

Recommended for commercial and home use.
