Let's put some respect on Alex and Dennis with the spectacles nowadays.

I only have myself to provide for, and let me tell you, that a-hole is a complainer! lmao

LOL, there was this guy called Mizerak who played pretty sporty while wearing glasses.

I've searched on Amazon and on billiard supplies sites, but have not found any like the ones Cuetec Cynergy cues come in. Their's are made of very thin, soft fabric. If you per chance run across something like that on Amazon, please send a link. I've not had any luck. Thanks so much!

The cueball doesn't know how the hit was delivered. Inanimate objects have no knowledge or memory.

What does matter is that humans are meat balloons supported by flexible sticks held together with rubber bands. So when someone says that a stroke has to be performed a certain way, what they are really saying is that they have to perform it that way because of how their body reacts to the forces of the stroke. In other words, you can't put force (i.e. cuestick acceleration) into one part of a flexible system (i.e. the pool player) without that flexible system moving to resolve that force. Therefore, a person needs to compensate somehow to get the reaction needed.

To bring this further, humans are all relatively similar, so what works for one person will likely work to some degree for another. The outliers will have less success learning from the masses (for example, I'm 6'3" 165lbs, what works for someone a foot shorter and 20lbs heavier than me won't work as well for me).

So, there is kind of an absolute truth in what a lot of players claim, but the understanding of why is questionable at best.

Does anyone know how may devices can stream at once?

Yep…you paid 50 for one table. All the others are through digital pool. Rip off in my opinion. One the wire creative is streaming all the outer tables for free. They should have left it like it was. Also Railyard just sold and announced new ownership this week. X pool is a Railyard product.

One more example before I stfu.

The correct physics can only be done by computation. One input. One output.

Absolutely cannot do that with a stick and balls.

The OP wanted confirmation on the following: "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.... 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?"

The answer is no.

No matter how the tip lands on the cue ball, if it generates the same vector as from any other type of smoothness/stroke/timing/delivery, the result of the cue ball will be the same.

Your personal stroke mechanics may end up delivering the tip in a different location with different power and angle. In that case , the vector will be different. But it is the vector difference that makes the cue ball do something different, not an additional parameter affecting the cue ball at the time of contact.

Yeah I know. But the genre is still people insisting ya gotta do this and that etc... they are not entirely wrong.

But...
Player has to set this vector in motion. Many have crooked albeit compensated strokes. The nano histrionics may be the only way they can produce the required hit. Ultimately somebody has to _make_ the shot.
