We'd like to start out with a quick note. Those using the word "felt" in a google search probably found this article. We should point out that the correct term is "cloth" - since (as the commenter below pointed out) it is actually made from a worsted wool cloth or a baize cloth, versus felt. Cheap, low-quality tables will sometimes actually have real felt on them, but for the most part, it's a wool cloth.
Custom Billiard Table Felt will allow you to customize the look of your home pool table with a myriad of different colors and fine fabrics on top of the slate.
Generally, billiard table felt is a 75% wool - 25% cotton blend and is extremely fine to allow maximum and natural ball movement. Billiard table felt can be expensive to replace especially where the installation should always be done by a professional. When buying a new billiard table you'll need not worry about the billiard table felt replacement for some time. On the other hand, if you have even the smallest scratches or rips in the billiard table felt, your game will be greatly affected and teh balls will not play as expected. If this is the case, there are several things that you should keep in mind:
You can also find customized billiard table felt. These vary in selection from retailer to retailer, and often have logos, or other prints embedded directly in the felt. Some use dyes to achieve the image, which is usually the best method since it does not affect consistency.

Why do so many people refer to the cloth as, " FELT", it is a wool blend cloth.
We know! The only reason for the article being titled with the word "felt" instead of "cloth" is because it will help more people find the article on google searches. Our research shows that on a monthly basis (according to google data), roughly 33,000 searches are done for "pool table felt" as compared with only roughly 22,000 searches for "pool table cloth". What we neglected to do in this article is to begin it by correcting the misconception. (Which is what we usually do in these cases.) I've passed it along to the editors for correction.
Can anyone tell me which is the better colth Simonis or Hanisworth? Reply to smherd70@gmail.com
You haven't said anything about the variation in cloth e.g. different weights and differences between manufacturers. Which cloths last longer, which play better, what do the pros use? Also, one pool table resurfacer told me that using glue is not recommended but that stapling is the only wa to go. Can you comment on this?
