The cloth is made from 90% wool and 10% nylon with a weight of approximately 9 oz/yd² (300 g/m²). The high wool content helps provide the grip required for precise speed and trajectory control, while the nylon component contributes to increased speed and durability.
Simonis 330 Rapide features a nap-free worsted construction that will not pill, fluff or shed during normal use. Smooth, even threads help maintain consistent playing characteristics across the entire surface, while the wool-rich construction helps reduce white marks and friction-related ball burns.
The Simonis 330 Rapide® is approved by the International Carom Federation for tournament play, making it suitable for official competition as well as demanding club and home installations.
Simonis cloth is manufactured in Verviers, Belgium, where Iwan Simonis has been producing textile products since 1680. Simonis is the oldest company in the billiard industry and operates a textile mill dedicated to producing cloth for pool, carom, pyramid and snooker.
Sold throughout the world and used by professional and amateur players alike, Simonis cloth has earned a reputation for accuracy, consistency, durability and tournament-level performance.
This listing is for the Delsa Blue™ color and includes pre-cut rail cloth.
For proper installation, Simonis cloth should be installed with the smooth, marked side facing upward. This is the playing surface. Simonis cloth is manufactured within tightly controlled ranges of extension and elasticity and should be installed firmly over the slate for optimal playing conditions and long-term dimensional stability.
