when I originally built my first table I coated it with Billiards cloth. After 12 years of play, it was getting a bit tired. When building my second table (my profile pic) I went with the suited speed cloth and immediately noticed the difference. Christmas present to myself was 7 feet of reverse platinum speed cloth. I installed it yesterday. Thanks to the T nuts on the insert, it was easy getting it out. Upholstering, on the other hand, is never fun. I considered upgrading the foam, but didn't. I am fully aware that the sight of racetracks make some on here shudder, but I think it looks great. Cards fire across this stuff, dealing from one end to the other is way easier!
