the obvious time er uh thread to promote. Cueball at impact and the eyes following whitey is the quickest way to gain important data. The rotation of a stripe is easiest to follow. The rotation of whitey and the path are data. The rotation of the object ball is observed as well. A bad contact can be obvious. This better betting position to know for sure. Not blame just data.
