Not that it will help a ton, since I don't have it to practice on, but out of curiosity, how does Predator Arcadia Reserve Cloth play versus Simonis 860?
 
I think it plays great, really fast and IMO stuff seems to slide a bit more, quality seems to be pretty good.
 
I had the chance to play on it a few days ago......and I hated it. The fast rolling speed was fine but the balls slid way too much for my liking. I felt like I had no control over whitey on medium to firm strokes, the ball simply did not go where I expected it. I had to change my strategy to shooting everything very slowly, allowing for the ball to roll into position as opposed to playing multiple rails.

I for one, will be going with Simonis when I recover my table in a few weeks.

ALL new worsted cloth is slick as hell when new. After a couple weeks the 'shiny' wears off and they play fine. I've played on Championship, ANDY, CPBA, Simonis and Granito worsteds. They all are slick/slippery when new. Nothing to worry about.

Sounds good. I thought the assessment was that it played slick even when not new. I'll find out for sure in a few weeks...
