CPBA Competition Worsted Professional Pool Table Cloth – Fast Speed High Accuracy Pre-Cut Bed and Rails

First, this cloth is great to play on, but it is challenging to install. If this is your first refelting project I'd suggesting something more forgiving. I'm happy with the results, but it took me 6+ hours to do. I feel like it would have only taken an hour or two with more forgiving cloth.I have an 8 foot table, so I ordered the 8' oversize cloth to ensure I had plenty to work with. It left me with about 6" of spare cloth in each direction and 2-3" to work with on the rails. I use the leftover cloth as breaking/jumping pads to make the cloth last longer.The cloth looks great and plays super fast. I can see quite a bit of stretch marks on the underside of the rails from where I over-stretched the material. They're are pretty consistent throughout the rails, so it's not distracting. After many tries, I was able to eliminate the "shadows" on the table bed so it looks perfectly smooth.This cloth is not very forgiving. Forming it into the pockets was nearly impossible. I ended up stapling it in place, then cutting the slits in the fabric and stapling them in place before carefully removing the first set of staples.After playing a few hours per day, the cloth had work well with some bruises from raised-cue shots. Overall is recommend this product.

Only had a few weeks, professionally installed after we purchased a used 8 foot Olhausen. Really like the Champion Blue color, worsted felt.

Bed cloth installed well, able to get a good stretch. Stretch shadows appear more readily than other cloths, which requires careful installation.Rail cloth is pre-cut, which ordinarily is a good thing - however there was up to 1/2" variance between rail cloth widths. Did not leave much to work with on the smaller pieces.CPBA branding on one of the rail cloths could not be hidden. Logo is stamped using a permanent marking, so will just have to live with it.Color shade is more of a "true blue" than tour blue Simonis. Tour blue is more of a teal... picture provided.For a 9' cut there wasn't much extra cloth, which is nice to have for finishing out the pockets. I wound up using some remnants of another brand I had from previous installs.For the bed cloth install, I used a glue down method using 3M Fastbond contact adhesive. The cloth responded well, with no bleed through.If stapling the cloth, I advise caution. This cloth seems a bit thinner than other worsted cloths (Simonis 760/860/860HR). The strands of the cloth will sheer and come undone almost endlessly when groomed or pulled upon.Additionally, with a thinner cloth - the feather strips for the rails won't secure the rail cloths as well. I recommend wrapping feather strips in masking tape to get a proper fit.Can't fully comment on playability compared to other cloths, but does seem to be on the faster side. No noticeable 'pilling'. Slight burn marks from elevated cueing.

I only just put this cloth on my table, but it is pretty fast. Not the fastest I’ve ever played, but still fast. Great for 9 ball. I get incredible cue ball control on this cloth. It seems pretty durable too. Make sure you use a fresh razor to cut it. Also, I messed up a rail. I contacted the company to buy some cloth and they sent me a rail cloth for free. That was pretty awesome, especially since I’m the one who messed it up.Edit 6 months later — this cloth is still holding up fantastic. I honestly will not buy any other brand of cloth. This stuff is as good as Simonis.

I picked this up after seeing a few forum conversations regarding it as a lower priced equivalent to the Simonis 860 / 860HR. Instead of paying the Simonis tax I figured I'd give this a shot and spend the difference on some nice Aramith balls.I've installed cloth a few times, including some standard run of the mill felt and Simonis 860. This installs just like any other worsted cloth, it likes to fray and can be a bit tough to stretch but once you get there it's worth the effort.The cut sizes were generous enough that it draped off the slate before stretching by a few inches on each side for an 8' table, which helped make install a lot easier than it could have been.As for how it plays and feels, I'd put it up there with Simonis 860 or 860 HR just on speed and feel. If you're looking for something worsted like that and like the speed, this is a good way to get there for the money. If you just want cloth for a table and don't save a bit and just buy Championship Saturn II.

Rolls great. Very fast cloth. Seems to be fantastic quality. Extremely happy with the purchase!!!

This cloth is a good price but I’ve been real disappointed with it. I had a professional install it so I know it was done right. But it’s not very consistent. It’s a lot better than nap felt but I should’ve just bought the Simonis cloth. Major draw shots are a no go on this cloth ball just won’t grip it. On simonis cloth I can draw a ball across a 9 ft table and get rebound. After 6 months never even come close to that.

Not by any means a table mechanic, but I’m quite happy with this cloth/felt. There’s extra length to allow for a learning curve which I really appreciate.We bought a table about 6 months before ordering this and we reused the felt that we got with it. It was old and noticeably slow. As soon as I could forget how much of a pain in the rear it was to install, I ordered this. Install was easier since I now had experience with it. Stretch factor was not specified in the box/bag but it’s easily available here in the product description. Very little fibers to clean up and overall it was a great install.Will buy again without reservation. I can’t compare it to a simonis s as I have no experience with it but I will say it’s for sure faster than the napped cloth my table came with.
