Anybody else had Cyclop balls crack?

When CSI and the people running BCA events switched to Cyclop balls, pretty much everyone I know that has tables around here got them to practice/play with. They have held up pretty well, except for some obvious fading of the colors on some sets, and the broken 1 ball I shared earlier. Over the years, the 6 and 7 ball colors only got me a few times. The cyclop balls definitely skid more often than I liked. I've been using Dynaspheres lately and the cling/skid is noticeably reduced.

The 6B is still green. I never understood how people got baffled by the colors.

I've played with several Cyclop sets in several different locations and never once had a ball roll funny. I'm not saying it never happened, just saying I've never experienced it in my many hours of play.

Their object balls were pretty good, but the cueballs were pretty bad. I especially did not like the thick clear finish they had, it looked like the ball was encased in a 1/4 inch thick clear shell and made looking and shooting at it feel weird to me.
