	860 or Championship Tournament? I think the league tables here have Championship Tournament, but I can't get a straight answer about that. I need a new cloth, And wondered if someone had some comments or comparisons between the two.

	I really like 860, but it wore out in 6 months. I currently have Championship 3030 and it is lasting longer.

	Gorina Granito (Basalt) and 860 are your best choices. The rap on Championship cloth is that it's inferior (looser weave, more defects). Though I have no first hand experience with it, people on this board (whose opinions I value) have posted such. Prolly a little Googling would unearth it.

	Hokay...860 it is. Swatches will be sent Monday. That caution about colors "might be off" on a computer monitor is right! Wifey would like me to do a little better in the color choice this time.

	i have championship 3030 on my table, no its not equal to simonis. but its still a good cloth for a home table, though today you can buy simonis for the same price. when i bought mine simonis was $40 higer and mail order only. i bought the 3030 at a local shop. i happy with it and have not noticed any defects in the cloth. cheers jerry "Mark0" <mark0@mccauleywebDELETETHIS.com> wrote in message news:_Nlfe.16728$cZ6.1311@fe02.lga...> Gorina Granito (Basalt) and 860 are your best choices.

I know this isn't a popular opinion but I think Granito is the better quality of the two (860 and Basalt) having compared them side by side before buying mine. Interestingly, as I think I once mentioned on this board, I showed the Granito swatches to my neighbor (who was a tailor for 70 years) and he immediately told me that the Granito was made in Spain, that it was worsted. He also told me the weight correctly, and the thread-count which I had to take his word for. He said they used to use a similar black cloth for making men's winter suits in the pre WW2 era. He said it should wear like iron. So far so good (5 years and counting). I think Granito is slightly faster than 860, but both are great to play on. David "The Hamster" Malone

You are right IMO. All the stuff about the clothing fabric is correct. In fact, it is still a majority of Gorina's business selling clothing fabric to top designers including Brioni. Grantio M, the carom cloth, is very much like the fabric Brioni uses to make tuxedos, some of which comes from Gorina. Granito has a better weave IMO and plays well longer IMO. The difference is subtle which is why I have always put the two in the same category. Championship isn't even a close third to these two. Deno

	I second that, I am very happy with the Basalt on my table. Incidentally I just had a suit made last month ($ouch) and I was looking through the bolts of cloth at the tailors. I was surprised to find out that Gorina makes worsted wool cloth for suits as well as Granito Basalt. That was probably a bit naive, they likely make more garment cloth than anything else but I don't get a lot of suits made. I installed the Basalt myself and I had a really good look so while I was at the tailors I found myself looking through the cloths and wondering how they would play! They look and feel very much the same as my pool table cloth. Maybe I should have ordered a few extra yards for next time the table needs cloth. Black table cloth would be cool, except maybe for losing the eightball. In fact, maybe a pinstriped table would be even more interesting. By the way David, where did you get the Basalt from? I could not find any reasonable price on it in Canada so I had to order it from a US website. I think it was Muellers but I am not positive. Exchange was higher then (2 years ago?) but it was still about half price after all the government hands took their share.

It's easily the fastest and most flawless cloth I've ever played on or worked with. When a friend saw it, he wanted his table covered with the same, but by that time Deno had handed the business off to Jon Spiegel who was as easy to work with as Deno was. When I ordered for my friend, I got another piece for myself which is still rolled on a cardboard tube. The toll free number I have for Jon is 800 465 4900. I recall the price was lower than I found it anywhere else. -- Protection Island Bruce

	Bruce, you are also in Canada. Were you not able to find a canadian source either? Deno is in the US isn't he? Also, I was wondering if you were any relation to Bud and Kasey Boyd.
