When refelting a pool table is there a top/bottom side of the felt?

Question

We are refelting our pool table and are unsure if their is a right way up to lay the felt. My partner thinks one side is fluffier and one is shinier, I can't tell. Table didn't come printed or with any tags or stickers indicating a correct way up.

Answer 1

sure, lay the felt out of the table, the top is facing up.

Answer 2

Don't put felt on your pool table. Use a pool table cloth called simonis. Felt is not for pool tables. Sure, you can buy enough felt to cover your table for 10 or 15 bucks but it's just a waste of money. It plays too slow , the color rubs off on your hands and the first time you brush it , it is ruined. Get a cloth meant for pool tables such as simonis , championship or brunswick. Yeah it costs some money but if your serious about playing pool , even casually , it's well worth it.

Answer 3

A top CLOTH is the same-You may want to hire a pro if you have to ask
