—“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!

The Derby isn't really about the pros. It's about the high level amateurs testing themselves and potentially being able to play a big name. That and the action. As has been mentioned before, there are a number of pro players not at this event, but all three tournaments filled up and had long waiting lists. Player attendance won't really ever be an issue with the Derby, no matter who complains about it.
