Disappointed
So I ordered this shower curtain hanger as part of a bathroom remodel. I have used the upside down tear drop design with ball rollers for 12 years with the only issue being the time it takes to unhook and rehook a shower liner. This design aims at easy-on and easy-off for the shower curtain and liner, which seemed like a good solution. However, this design is meant to hold the curtain up higher than the liner, in order to present a cleaner appearance from the outside. The issue that I have is that my cloth curtain is heavier than the plastic liner. The result is that only two of the roller balls carry the majority of the load and the liner is still visible. This uneven loading also impairs the smoothness when opening and closing the curtain. I'm hoping that switching to an upside down "J" design reduces the leveraging experienced with this hanger.
Edit: 4/24/2013
We tried the "J" design. The first one broke at the weld during installation. The rest of the package was promptly recycled and we returned to this omega shaped hanger.
Wife ordered new fabric curtain which turned out to be pretty light weight. It works very well with these hangers, as others have suggested.
Conclusion:
light weight curtain = happy
heavy weight curtain < happy
