How can I recognize a genuine Simonis cloth ?

Every roll of original IWAN SIMONIS cloth has 3 different markings which guarantee the authenticity of the product:

Next to the selvedge/side of the cloth there is alternatively every approx. 60 cm :

1. the IWAN SIMONIS well known signature logo

2. the IWAN SIMONIS name in block letters with the product name (860 for instance). These two markings which used to be printed in white colour until August 2007 are since then laser-printed in gold colour.

There is also printed in the middle of the width of every meter of cloth

3. a mark showing IWAN SIMONIS name in block letters followed by the serial number of the roll (ID number) : this indelibly U.V. marking is only visible in black light (U.V.light).

What are the advantages of Simonis carom cloth ?

For a long time, players of carambole billiards (carom) and owners of tables for playing this game had to choose between the longevity of a cloth and its playing qualities, namely its speed and precision. The speed of a cloth can be increased, but at the expense of its durability, and conversely, its durability can be improved to the detriment of its speed. With the Simonis 300 Rapide, there is no longer any need to favour one characteristic to the detriment of the others, the Simonis 300 Rapide is the only cloth for carom that combines the highest levels of speed, precision and longevity.

What colors are available ?
