The billiard table cloth, as an important part of the table, has always been valued by everyone. Therefore, choosing the type of billiard table cloth is usually the most important decision, and many friends have discussed the selection of billiard table cloths.
　　I. Durability
　　Generally speaking, wool in the fabric is the main factor determining durability. Due to differences in installation quality and the number of games played on the table, it is impossible to predict how long any type of fabric will last. Your home table won't get the amount of play a table in a commercial pool room gets, so any type of fabric should last longer before needing replacement in a home setting.
　　The tightness of the weave is also a factor. Looser weaves will wear out faster because less material is used in the weave. An indicator of durability is the weight in ounces per yard of fabric, for example 21 ounces, 19 ounces, etc. A higher quality fabric will be at least 19 ounces.
　　We note a difference between fabric "wear" and fabric durability. While worsted fabrics may "look" worn, the inherent durability of a tight weave usually ensures that the accuracy and playability of the fabric are not compromised.
　　On the other hand, a napped cloth may not look worn, but it will form ridges and tracks as it ages, which affects accuracy and playability. It's best to have a fabric that truly lasts longer. Proper cloth maintenance will help all cloths look better during the life of the cloth.

　　II. Speed
　　There is a noticeable difference in the roll and speed of the ball between worsted and napped billiard cloth. Worsted cloths are perfectly smooth while napped cloths have a noticeable "nap." The blending process and the quality/percentage of wool are the main factors determining the speed of the cloth. In "worsted" products such as Simonis, ProForm, and Tour Edition, extra manufacturing processes are used to ensure that all fibers are the same size. As a result, you won't get "pilling" or "fuzzing" and the fabric has no nap. The worsted process creates a smoother, more precise fabric resulting in faster ball speed and better accuracy.

　　III. Which billiard table cloth is right for you?
　　The best choice for a billiard table cloth depends on your needs. If you have an inexpensive table for casual use, then you might not want to spend a lot of money on the fabric of the billiard table cloth. If you're mainly concerned about spills or stains, then a Teflon fabric is a good choice.
　　If you are a professional and want to replicate professional game conditions, then Simonis worsted fabrics are the way to go. Sometimes it comes down to color needs and your choices will be limited to the styles that offer the color you want, so if you want purple your options are limited.
　　If you're completely tired of the little fuzzies (called pilling) on your table, you can eliminate this problem with one of the worsted fabrics (Simonis 860, 760, 300, ProForm or Tour Edition).
