What is the benefit of wool in billiard cloth ?
A worsted cloth with a high content of wool makes the game easier to play and more enjoyable:
- It provides players with a greater precision and control for more accurate shots. This is due to the unique molecular structure of the wool. With scales on its surface only visible at a microscopic level, they offer some grip to the billiard ball, like tyres for a car. It enables players to control the speed and trajectory of their ball, which 100% synthetic cloths in Carom or cloths with a large content of synthetic fibers in Pool for instance won’t provide. Then, to make a worsted cloth with a high content of wool go faster, a percentage of nylon is added to the cloth to decrease the level of grip. The balance between wool and nylon is crucial to avoid increasing speed at the expense of accuracy.
- It leaves less white marks/burn spots on the cloth. When you hit a billiard ball, it accelerates from 0 to 40 kph (25 mph) in just a millisecond beating any Formula One or Indy car. This results in intense friction heat between the ball and the cloths leaving white marks. Thanks to the thermal insulation properties of the wool, Simonis cloth leave less white marks or burn spots on the cloth.
- It is less noisy when balls roll on the table because of the wool acoustic insulation properties.
Last but not least, worsted cloths with a high content of wool are better for the environment compared to 100% synthetic cloth or cloths with a large content of synthetic fibers. Wool is a natural and renewable fiber, whereas synthetic fibers are derived from petrochemical and not biodegradable.
This is why for all these reasons that Simonis Cloth continues to be the World’s leading brand for Carom, Pool and Pyramid cloths. Besides its unparalled control, speed and durability characteristics, it provides many other benefits to offer the best playing experience.

Which side of the table cloth is the playing side ?
The smoothest and most regular side is the playing surface (the right side), which is perfectly flat and gives the best ball roll and the best ball control. You can also recognise the right side of the cloth by the Iwan Simonis logo and the cloth number printed on the sides.
What is our Group sponsoring policy ?
Besides very few brand ambassadors we sponsor directly, our Group sponsoring policy is to support national and international sports organizations. These entities can then provide financial and material support to the local federations, associations and players they select to develop the practice and visibility of billiard at the broadest level. We therefore recommend you contact them directly regarding sponsoring requests.
