never heard of miliken no10 but whatever you do dont get hainsworth, its fastest cloth ever but its got to be the worst ever for playing with side, the white just flies off in any direction it wants when you play with side, its a nightmare! john higgins and graham dott both had a hainsworth cloth put on their tables at the same time and john changed it after about a week! try get the cloth they use on tv, i think its a strachan no10 match cloth, they are the best and you could prob get the cloth and have it fitted for about 350 GBP

Thanks for the info frazzz btw Milliken owns Strachan Stroud so it is the same cloth we are talking about.
Any idea who has the best prices on NO 10 ?

OK... I have a bit of a caution, along with the price.
Here's the deal. The cloth used of TV is called Strachan West Of England Stroud and it is very expensive, it's normally only sold to tournaments or professionals. The warning is that the cloth ISN'T particularly long lasting, because it is designed for superb playing performance straight away, rather than needing to be "played in".
Most people wanting a high quality cloth with superior longevity would choose a slightly heavier and thicker cloth from Strachan, particularly the "6811 Tournament".
Both these cloths are of the highest quality, and we can provide the full set of two pieces of cloth, for table bed AND cushions.
There is well over £100 price difference between these two cloths, so choose widely. Do you want the best cloth that lasts a long time, or do you want to accurately simulate the conditions that the pro's are playing under?
Did you want the price for a 12 foot table?
We are calculating our best price for you now.

if you want a cloth for a table in the club that'll be used a lot go for the 11 but if its a home table for private use go for the 10 although if you get the 10 make sure you brush and iron it everyday, if you do it'll keep up the speed for a good few months but if you stop ironing it it loses the speed quickly and its impossible to get it back

Thanks for the help guys, I will go with the NO10 and may be in touch soon Dave. I played on the NO10 at a local private club and loved the stuff. My home table is a 6x12 Riley and should be up and running when the room is finished in two months. Of my local clubs one has 6811 and the other has Smart, the 6811 has always been my favorite for commercial use, the smart is too slow. The NO 10 should last pretty well on a home table I would imagine, anyway thanks again.
