That could be. To my eyes the CB keeps going forward after hitting the OB. Without better video it is hard to tell if that’s actually the case, or perhaps if the CB has hit the rail then the OB and continued to compress into the cushion before releasing.

Correct.

The OB moved first
The OB slid on that vector ( IDK what that has to do with it )
There was no further transfer after that.
The OB angle shows a cut approaching wut? 20 degrees? Rail first would have the CB exiting at that angle.

Yeah I happened upon an ancient entry in some theology book of a bunch of avant garde senators muttering stuff about being the equal of the people and there was lots to go around and then there was missing pages and then some other chapter.

5 years and 2 months since this thread was a thing. A full time job is 2,000 hours a year?

Since then, we have all had an opportunity to have practiced 10,000 hours.

Therefore, we should all be disappointed in ourselves that we are not yet professional level violinists.

Shameful. I would expect the orchestras of most major cities to have been infiltrated by pool players disguised as violinists by now.

I have a Leon Sly Purpleheart Titleist tribute made from a Prather full splice. Butt only. Pm if interested.

I have a Giuseppe 1x2 and an Instroke 1x1. Pm if interested.

On my sledgehammer cue it has the phenolic tip / ferrule and during League play I made the 8 on the break without scratching and kept the cue ball on the table and had the 8 ball not dropped I would've had a great first shot after the break .

I will admit the Bulletproof break ferrule and tip combination is interesting to say the least , I wouldn't mind trying one some day but I'm still happy with the results with what I've got .

I have a Leon Sly Titleist tribute butt only, made from a Prather full splice blank. Pm if interested.

I jave a Leon Sly Titleist tribute butt for sale if interested. Converted from a Prather Custom made full splice blank. Pm if interested.

what worked for you for 50 years will work always for you.

Ya can’t be too lazy to put in the work if it bugged ya enough to ask the question in the first place.

Got me wondering now and elucidation and edification are in order.

So, I just picked up a 1996 Joss JSW12 with a Herculite joint. LINK

Wondering how that will play, what magic it might have in it...

WTF is Herculite? Some kind of fancy name for a plastic I suppose. Nice cue anyway.

use more centerline of the cue ball. more spin makes the object ball go farther off course. you have to compensate for that. aint easy peezy.
a small amount to lengthen off a rail.

i dont ever do a jump or masse shot. your biggest improvement will come from better positioning of the cueball

get proficient of drawing back to almost exact spots of to about two feet. and following to where you need to go.

plan out at least three shots ahead or your second or third will be out of position for those farther down.
