Funny thing about the Steven's 22oz Superweave cloth, even though it was a woven woolen cloth....on tables I rebuilt, the cue ball would still travel the length of the 9ft end to end 5 rails, and 9 rails around the table, so slow cloth....no it wasn't, but it did have a lot less ball skids that's for damn sure, and the pockets didn't tighten up and reject well hit balls if the happen to graze a rail on the way in!!! And slates were much easier to maintain level on that's for damn sure too!!
Buddy Hall liked Stevens back in the day.
