Simonis table spots:
Show pride in your cloth
and protect it at the same time.
Did you know that table spots are not
only to mark the head and foot spots of the table, they actually help to protect the
cloth from damage.
The foot spot is where the head ball of the rack is
placed and this is where a table spot is most useful. On a break shot, the
cue ball typically is airborne and is descending when it contacts the head
ball of the rack. Since this object ball is bound in place by the balls
behind it, the cue ball pounds this ball downward. This repeated pressure in
the same spot can eventually wear a hole in the cloth at that point. While
Simonis cloth is a tough worsted wool and provides good resistance against
this damage anyway, a good table spot can prolong the life of the cloth by
substantially decreasing the wear at the foot spot.

Simonis has specially made table spots
that are made from woven fabric, are printed on flat sheets, are die-cut to
size and are conveniently self-adhesive. The woven fabric provides the
maximum protection against the wear described above, the printing on flat
sheets and die-cutting ensures that the edges will not curl up after
application, and the fact that they are self-adhering is very
convenient. Contact your Simonis retailer for more information.

allow the spot to adhere properly to the cloth.
