Orlando Pool Table Refelting & Recovering (Simonis/Championship): Speed You Can Feel

“Cloth looks okay, but the table feels slow.” Nine times out of ten, we find a seam ridge plus uneven stretch. Refelting is the moment to fix hidden speed killers.

When Refelting Pays Off

• After a move or floor change.

• Visible seam “ghost lines.”

• Pocket chatter on otherwise clean cuts.

Our Refelt Sequence

• Slate deep clean, seal, and feather seams until invisible under cloth.

• Tight, even stretch with crisp corners; rails torqued to spec.

• Pocket facings reset; bank and long-cut tests confirm the feel.

Cloth Choices

• Simonis 860: fast, consistent, great for regular players.

• Championship: durable, value-forward, family-friendly.

Field Story
A Conway refelt from Championship → Simonis plus facing tune pushed the break a full diamond farther—same stroke, less friction.

Conclusion
Refelting isn’t cosmetic; it’s a performance reset. Get seams feathered, stretch balanced, and facings tuned—and feel the difference immediately.

Pool Table Installation in Orlando (New & Used Tables): Do It Once, Right

A brand-new 8-footer arrived in Lake Nona with a “factory” setup that looked great but played crooked. We squared the frame, cleaned and sealed seams, re-stretched the cloth, and confirmed with live-ball tests. The owner’s first long-rail bank landed center pocket.

Install Steps That Matter

• Frame square and leg stability verified before slate goes down.

• Slate clean, bond, and feathered seams.

• Cloth stretch even/tight with crisp corners; rails torqued to spec.

• Multi-axis level and pocket-fit checks.

New vs Used Tables

• Used often need rubber or facings; new sometimes need better seam work than factory delivers.

• Choose cloth by how you play (speed vs durability).

After-Install Tips

• Keep RH at 45–55%; avoid hard brushing; manage chalk haze.

• After heavy furniture moves or floor changes, book a quick tune.

Conclusion
A proper install plays like an upgrade. When the foundation is right, everything else feels easy.
