Perfect Stroke = No Stroke?

Poolmanis noted that with virtual pool, where the ai stroke is perfecr, bad players still fail to run out. There's no escaping needing to learn the game.

That said, a stroke can save u from ur own poor plans with subconscious adjustments u aren't even aware of. Even a player as great as Earl has been known to tell his scotch partner he'll draw it around, aim up low, and then hit a shot perfectly on his desired route... which would be physically impossible if he actually drew it.

Myth or real - Stroke smoothness as a requisite for certain shots

The OP's question was "Does anyone here know any science behind this, does the timing/smoothness/delivery etc. whatever you want to call it really affect the range of possible shots that can be executed?"

Yes, I know the answer. The OP has already accepted it. I am sorry, but it is too late.
The first line of the OP's initial post is all anyone would ever need to know.

"My understanding is that for the CB's reaction after hitting it with the cue, all that matters is what the cue is doing at the moment of contact, within a few milliseconds(?) of the impact."

When someone executes these types of shots enough times to see what can and can't be done the science behind the results do not really matter.

The most simple moto answer is the cue ball does what it is instructed to do by the player.

It applied to the OP, the one who asked the question. This is whether you like it or not.
In this reply you totally missed the point I was trying to make.

It has absolutely nothing to do with liking the question, answers or the OP.
