I think the most significant change would be for draw where the bridge sets the height of the bottom of the shaft.It can be (slightly) if you judge tip offset by the shaft’s center. ...

Finally got to see the rest of it - great job as usual, Mr. Scorsese (especially the graphics!). You fit a lot of clear, helpful info into 7 minutes.Haven't watched the whole video yet, but as you know, mis ilustraciones son tus ilustraciones, Doc.

I wouldn't bother the time arguging to many fanboys.Yet another video that goes completely against any competent player’s perception of what’s actually happening on the table.
I can’t believe you actually play pool. Why wouldn’t you frame these videos for any practical use??? So many of the things you cover are purely theoretical and hold absolutely no water when it comes to a human with a cue in hand.
Tip diameter and tip shape massively effect every single shot. To say none of it matters to keeps the whole topic in a vacuum.
When a player picks up the EXACT same cue with a tip that’s rounded at a dime instead of a quarter…it’s going to play massively different…period.
Also, many of your videos underplay “insignificant” or “inconsequential” differences in your measurements…i got news for ya…in a game of millimeters, they AREN'T insignificant or inconsequential.
I think anyone who has played a bit knows the shape of your tip makes a significant difference.
What I have learned in my time on pool tables is that it's never a case of exactly a dime v exactly a nickel. Most often, tips take on slightly more complex shapes than the simple radius of a coin. No, I have no interest in making a video. I'm simply addressing something many pool players of a particular skill level know, maybe just intuitively.
Some of this stuff you need to take with a lump of salt.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by significant difference. If you played with a totally misshapen tip, would it change how many balls you beat me by in 14.1? I would bet the answer is no as you would immediately adapt to the new feel.
I’ve botched a few tip installs and played with the result and, although the feel is certainly different, I don’t think it impacted how many balls I could run. Just look at the tips on the pro’s snooker cues.
Great post! It did make for another good lovefest between the two amigos and combined knowledge...or lack thereof. Double pats on the back for their like minds and teamwork. Nothing was mentioned about tip hardness/softness with the size variations and their effects. I would imagine no differences there also.Yet another video that goes completely against any competent player’s perception of what’s actually happening on the table.

Yeah, I addressed the shaft/tip diameter and tip shape. Your way of playing the game and mine are worlds apart in many respects.This video dealt with shaft diameter and tip shape effects only. All tip hardness effects are covered in detail via the info and videos here:
As well as incompetent players. Nor does the knowledge = skill level.Many competent players’ perceptions are wrong. Skill <> knowledge.

Jesus...a thesis. Unfortunately, a Ph.D. for all of this has a different meaning. Pool hall Dolt!That’s something we can all agree on; although, knowledge can still be very helpful per the info here:

Is that the opposite of SYCHOPHANTS Everywhere?
Yep, that's what arguing physics with a Ph.D. mechanical engineering professor makes you, alright.Pool hall Dolt!
