I like the cover idea

Not the best presentation. Neither is Digital.

I'm having an ongoing argument with a friend about tip/ball contact.

He refuses to acknowledge that different stroke types - as in a smooth stroke that accelerates through the ball, versus a jab that pulls away as soon as possible post result in different outcomes.

He claims the only influence on what happens is the motion at impact.

I like to visualize it from the cue ball's perspective: The CB can only "feel" the Angle, Spot and Speed of the tip's impact - all the hard earned stroke mastery that we put into delivering that millisecond of contact is sadly lost on it (fortunately, ASS is all it needs).

I agree with him that only the impact itself has direct influence on the CB, and also recognize the knowledge and technique needed to deliver it.
