WST has signed a new long-term contract with Strachan cloth and Aramith balls guaranteeing the very best playing conditions for years to come across all international professional events.
Strachan No. 10 Championship cloth has featured on the tables at the World Championships for over 43 years and helps provide the professional players with the ultimate playing conditions. The cloth has incredible levels of speed, response, touch, and control. The Aramith Tournament Champion phenolic balls are also used exclusively at all professional events offering the highest level of precision.
The conditions now provided at tournaments are so precise and technically perfect that any slight variation in ambient conditions can be detected by the players. Cloth is monitored for speed and weight and now features the highly effective Anti-KickTM technology. Balls are less than a single gram different from the lightest to the heaviest ball which no other manufacturer can get close to.
At the 2022 World Championships, won by Ronnie O’Sullivan, there were 109 century breaks, smashing the previous record of 100; evidence of the quality of the playing conditions.
Stuart Gardiner, UK Sales Manager for Strachan cloth and Aramith balls, feels that playing conditions are the biggest factor in guaranteeing player satisfaction and a successful tournament. “We are constantly listening to the feedback from WST and trying to improve. We want to make the best even better”.
WST Director and WPBSA Chairman Jason Ferguson added: “We at WST are delighted with the new deal with two of the sport’s most iconic brands. Professional tournament conditions are now at a near perfect level with cloth, balls, tables, and venues controlled to incredibly high tolerances. The modern professionals play at such a high standard, they deserve the ultimate conditions. This is guaranteed with Strachan Cloth and Aramith balls, it really is the very best combination”.
Strachan cloth with Anti-KickTM technology is available now on the flagship No. 10 Championship & Superfine cloths. Aramith 1G balls are available now from official Aramith Dealers.
