Testimonials

The owner is a fantastic person to deal with and has a ton of knowledge about everything to do with billiards. Had the pleasure to see him work on tables and fix so many common problems. We discussed this cloth and I was able to compare it directly to simonis. Quality was amazing and it holds up perfectly to APA player abuse. Happy to have all my tables covered with Mia cloth from now on. I would absolutely recommend the switch!

I've been playing pool for 50 plus years so I'm no rookie.
I refinished a 70 year old table.
The only person I trust to do the final set up is Craig Wolf.
Several very good names come to play at my house on this table.
When Craig suggested to me that we try this MIA cloth I was a bit hesitant.
Knowing Craig as well as I do I decided to give it a chance.
We replaced the Simonis with the MIA 6 months ago.
Me and all my buddies that play here are totally impressed.
This table gets a lot of play every day.
The cloth still looks great and barely any visible wear.
Now let's talk ball speed and roll.
Simply fantastic.
Every one who comes here to play tournaments I hold compliments on how fast and well the balls roll.
Do yourself a favor and buy this MIA before Simonis.
And hire Craig to set your table up with it.
He is the best table mechanic around.-Robert Witcraft
