these are 3 photo's of a billiard ball's surface under microscope.

that shiny, smooth, polished, perfect surface is now seen under a lab super microscope and here it is.

i apologize for not having the actual magnification multiples (the mags were huge).

It sure puts ball throw & friction into perspective.

Yes.

Sometimes when I'm asking myself "How come it does that?" and I'm thinking throw is involved; I do a thought experiment wherein I imagine the cloth and the balls are all coated in mini velcro.

This helps me to visualize the friction effects more vividly.

And we wonder why balls skid...

Looey got banned already. I guess now you can't sell the same cue to multiple people at the same time.
