90 deg cut shot

Maybe by today's clocking system, the "C" I'm talking about would be a 500 FargoRate on the nose player. I used to do it when I stunk way more than I do now.
Everyone & I mean everyone needs to stop using the ABCDE ratings system. With FargoRate & the Compusport Rating in place the old ranking system is obsolete.

If you must use ABCDE at least get it somewhat right.

A 500 should not be a C by anyone's measure.

90 deg cut shot

How do the physics of this shot work?
As Bob shoots it, the outside english throws the object ball into line. It's otherwise a natural cut. If you watch the ball drop it still throws wide a couple degrees.

The hundred mile an hour version uses high speed to minimize the throw. If you hit it just right, the cue ball will graze the ball high, further minimizing the throw. Less leverage is my guess. There's also a chance the CB makes contact on the far side making contact at 90+ degrees.
