Cyclops balls skidding

I have been playing lately with the new Cyclops balls from Diamond.I have played with them for about 4 sessions. These balls skid more then a car with bald tires. On some shots the cue ball climbs up a little on the ball before the object ball starts to roll. Now to be fair these tables have Simonis cloth and are only a couple weeks old. Anybody else see this with these balls? I remember someone else posted something like this before that they saw it at a recent tournament. I've been playing pool for 53 years and have played with most every ball and cloth made and many different tables and conditions and this was the worst skidding I've ever seen. I do want to be fair. When not skidding these balls play darn good and roll true.If they would skid less I think they would be great.
