ProLine Match 202 Backed Billiard Cloth
ProLine Match 202 Backed is made for tables that get a lot of use. The cloth is a high-performance woolen blend of 75% wool and 25% nylon, and it's bonded to a strong rayon backing. That gives you a smooth playing surface that stays consistent even after years of hard breaks, heavy traffic and long nights of league play.
Why Choose Backed Cloth?
The rayon backing makes the cloth more stable, so it holds its shape and resists stretching and wear better than unbacked cloth of the same weight. That's why backed cloth is a popular choice for bar tables, coin-op tables, rec rooms and family game rooms where the table rarely gets a break.
Smooth, Consistent Play
Match 202 has a tighter, smoother finish than a standard entry-level woolen cloth. Balls roll true, and the cloth plays a bit livelier, so you get dependable play game after game. The 21 oz weight and the 25% nylon content add strength without making the cloth play slow.
Pre-Cut and Ready to Install
Each set includes a bed cloth and six pre-cut rail strips sized for your table. The cloth is inspected before it ships, and the top side is marked for installation.
