It's come time to re-felt
our poker tables. The original felt is essentially billiard table felt, and it's lasted pretty well for the last 4 years.
We re-felted it with
"Velvet Speed Cloth", but it's absolutely terrible for a poker table. It's like dealing onto flypaper.
I'm not sure if I want to use regular "speed cloth" because I think it might be a bit too slick... but I'm open to suggestions.
My criteria is a durable, soft material that doesn't irritate your skin, and has some grip so cards won't just fly off the table, but doesn't stop cards in their tracks either. I don't want anything printed on the material, I just want a plain color that I can put on the tables.
I don't mind spending a bit more for a quality material that will last, if necessary. Anyone have suggestions on what material to obtain, and where?
