Question

What's the green cloth on a snooker table called?

Answer 1

Baize. Its a kind of very fine, hard wearing felt.

Answer 2

"Felt" has never been used on any type of billiards table ever.  "Felt" is a fabric made of compressed fibers.  "Cloth" is the proper term in America.  Cloth is a woven fabric, not compressed like "felt".  Someone long ago just started calling it "felt" and nobody ever questioned it.  "Baize" is the term used in the UK.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
