—“There are situations where a particular stroke works better than others. The old players had multiple strokes in their bag of tricks, roughly the equivalent of the golfer's bag of clubs. Mosconi used at least three strokes, more if you broke them down precisely.”
I completely reject the premise that some strokes work better than others, and this is Exactly the idea that I am trying to squash. They are all equivalent if your impulse vector is equivalent.
A horrible jab stroke is equivalent to a long accelerating stroke if you produce the same impulse.
I won’t say more since I’ve answered the OPs question for him. Stay warm!
