    Product Review – Speed Cloth



    Speed Cloth makes a great playing surface for a poker table. This poker table fabric is extremely durable and cards slide well across it. Speed Cloth will not create “fuzz balls” like regular felt. Never use regular felt on a table!

    Speed cloth is one of the most popular fabrics to use for a poker table’s playing surface. It is styled with a “suited” design, which is why it is also called suited speed cloth. Criss-crossed diagonal lines with hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs located inside the lines make up the design. In addition to its unique design, it is also a very durable fabric. It makes a great choice for tables that will get lots of play on them.

    The fabric is currently available in 3 colors; Green, Red and Blue. The fabric is sold in pieces that measure 108” x 59”. This will easily cover an eight foot by four foot table, with fabric to spare.

    The fabric itself has a little rougher feel to it when it is on the table compared to some other fabrics. The roughness is due to the thickness of the fabric and the design on it.

    Product Review – stainless steel cup holder


    The stainless steel poker table cup holders are available in 4 options. There is a regular and jumbo size, each available in a slide under and insert version.

    The stainless steel cup holders are very durable; they will not dent or rust. The outsides of the cup holders have been polished to a nice shiny chrome-like finish.

    The slide under cup holder has a base that sticks out from under the cup and is designed to “slide under” the rail on a poker table. It sits on top of the playing surface.

    The insert cup holder will fit into a hole in the poker table. These can either be permanently mounted or remain removable. These holes can be located in the table’s armrest rail, in the felt, or in a racetrack area of a poker table. The regular size fits into a hole with a diameter of 2 ¾” and the jumbo fits into a hole with a diameter of 3 5/8”.

    The standard size cup holder has an inside diameter of 2 5/8”. This will fit a standard 12oz. beverage can.

    The jumbo size cup holder has and inside diameter of 3 ½”. This will fit larger beverage containers.

    Any of these cup holders will be a nice addition to your poker table and help keep it dry too!
