The Ultimate Pool Group is delighted to announce that it has teamed up with cuesports industry leaders Strachan and Aramith for the 2022 season.

In an important partnership between the brands, Strachan will become the exclusive cloth supplier and Aramith the exclusive billiard balls supplier for all Ultimate Pool events throughout the busy campaign.

As seen on TV and used in all previous UPG events, Strachan Superfine Grey and Super Aramith Pro Cup will continue to be the organisation’s cloth and balls of choice. As well as events held at the Players Pool & Snooker Lounge, all 35 tables in operation for this season’s expanded Ultimate Pool Series played at hotel venues will be dressed and equipped with the world-renowned products.

Used and trusted by several major international cuesports organisations for several decades – including the World Eightball Pool Federation and the World Snooker Tour – Strachan and Aramith continue to innovate and lead the way. Strachan Superfine and Super Aramith Pro Cup provide players and table-owners reliability, consistency and quality.

Stuart Gardiner, UK & Ireland Sales Manager for Strachan and Aramith said: “Strachan & Aramith are proud to be the official & exclusive cloth and ball sponsors of Ultimate Pool. We offer the finest conditions to the very best players allowing them to perform at the highest level. The Ultimate Pool Series really has raised the bar for English pool elevating it to new levels of excitement & professionalism. The Ultimate Pool Tour will now be spoken about in the same way as people talk about the World Snooker Tour or the Mosconi Cup. These really are exciting times for English pool!”

Lee Kendall, CEO for Ultimate Pool and a former European, Mosconi Cup and 20-time World Team Champion, said: “I’m thrilled to announce that Strachan and Aramith will be exclusive providers for all Ultimate Pool events moving forwards, and I want to thank Stuart and all his team for their passion and belief in what we are doing, and aiming to do with 8-ball pool.

I have played with and used Strachan cloth and Aramith balls at events I have organised for several years; I keep coming back to them as we receive such excellent feedback from the players. The best players in the world deserve the best playing conditions, and that is exactly what we have with Strachan Superfine and Super Aramith Pro Cups."
