When is a table too fast?

I recall in an interview years ago with Nick Varner where he said when they switched to the fast cloth it was a big adjustment for him. He had to start bunting the ball around the table. Players of his generation-Sigel, Miz, Rempe, Hopkins, etc--all learned on the heavy cloth and you needed a powerful stroke to move the ball. All these guys had to dial it down when playing on the faster cloth.
