CLOTH APPLICATION

Cloth, see the video link above. Applying the cloth to a snooker table is an art and takes a minimum of 2 years’ experience to perfect or approximately 100  installations under close supervision. Pulling the cloth too tight can lead to significant problems as can the opposite, not pulling the cloth tight enough. Likewise, the cloth has to be eased during installation, tightened and re-tightened due to the fact the cloth is 100% wool and when stretched it then slackens off and the process has to be repeated to insure the cloth is properly installed.

 

Inexperienced Fitters can render a table unplayable due to the cloth being to slack.

 

Marking the cloth out, the D area. We have even known some Fitters to mark the cloth out incorrectly due to the fact they do not have the correct mould, tool to do the job. The net result, a new cloth is required.
