Skid on snooker tables

[galipeau]

It it just me, or does it seem like the balls skid less on the heavier nap traditional cloth used on snooker tables? I play snooker on a table covered in Simonis pool cloth. Doesn't require as much of a stroke, but it seems like the balls throw a bit more off line. What are your thoughts?

Are you playing with 2 1/16" balls? I've played with both, on both and have a 12' table at home with 6811 tournament cloth on it. The balls (2 1/16") definitely throw more than the 2 1/4" balls and the cue ball also moves differently either from the small diameter and resulting lower torque or the higher resistance surface.
