Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

What about how hard you hit the ball, top/bottom spin, side spin, friction of the cloth? If you don't reckon with all of that and more 'physics' you may make the shot, but have no shape. The person that understands all of that is going win against someone that doesn't.
me and @straightline have a long on line history and he promotes/prophesizes/invented? contact point geometry concept
thats the CBG under his screen name
so in the comment above about physics above
i posted to tease him alittle
regardinig physics
i think you can play world class and have no clue to explain the physics involved in the collisions ,spins and rebounds on a table
but subconsciously you understand whats going to happen when you do this that happens
i also think knowing the physics can be helpful if your the analytical type and that knowledge helps you
@Patrick Johnson responded to @jasonlaus
with this post which i agree with
..........................................................
... knowing physics has NOTHING to do with playing pool
That's a choice, not a fact.

Thanks for the share.

I saw that one and rewound it about 7x.

Pretty basic ticky when the balls are in a line close to the corner, but 20 cm away? I won't try it

I might get hurt.
This shot I learned around 1965 from my Mentor Ernie Presto!

It's Very similar in technique to the shot played against Jaspers!

2 cushion first shot, (Ticky) made with REVERSE ENGLISH, 2 O'clock English, it makes the CB 'Bounce' off the cushion at a more perpendicular angle!
