Our Testimonials
"As installers working on 3-4 tables a day, we have used every worsted fabric on the market. There's nothing we trust more than Gorina Basalt. It is always flawless, goes on well and from there we know the customer will have a great playing surface for years to come. As avid pool players, there's nothing we would rather play on. The combination of speed and grip pairs well with every size and brand of table imaginable. The longevity and lifespan is unmatched, especially for high traffic pool rooms. For our personal home tables and the bars and halls we play league and tournaments, Basalt is our cloth of choice, hands down."
Zack Lutz
It's my pleasure to give a testimony on behalf of Gorina Cloth. In my professional opinion, Gorina (all grades) is as high quality as Simonis. I use either, but when asked by my customers what I personally prefer, I tell them Gorina Cloth. 100% of them tell me they're glad they listened. Thank you also for your superb customer service.

As pool table technicians, we’ve worked with various worsted fabrics, and Gorina stands out for its superior quality and ease of installation. Compared to other worsted fabrics, it’s more practical to install, highly durable and delivers exceptional performance. We love it! Whenever I have the chance to talk about worsted cloth, Gorina is always my top choice.

Nick, thanks for all of your great service and quick shipping on my recent order of Gorina Basalt in gray. I remember talking to you about speed and you mentioned it would be a little faster than Simonis 86HR and it sure is faster and we love it. It is quite a bit heavier than the Simonis and not a blemish in the cloth anywhere. I expect this to last longer than Simonis and for the price you gave us it was a big savings. It's produced in Spain, and I highly recommend this to everyone and know you will be delighted with the play of it. I don't know why this cloth isn't really well known, but you if you try it, you won't be disappointed at all.
