Article 22.6. Player has the choice. Learned something new today.

The white CB is assigned to the lag winner, and remains so for the match duration.

It isn't. Walking is a bad example because it is natural and simple. Pool is neither. Say instead, it is like using physics to explain how to be a competitive archer. It is very applicable. The rest of what you said is correct.

Yep. And how do you instruct someone where to hit the ball using words? What if the student's concept of center ball is off to the left or right? How do you then tell if they did hit where they intended to, without looking at the outcome of the shot (which could have separate aiming and...

What is wild is that your measurement uses every possible variable, including the table you happen to be using. But it isn't your fault... we really have no way to talk about where exactly on the cue ball a specific shot should be hit WITHOUT referring to the outcome, unless we strictly talk...

Exactly. I've been asked by a few to add an option to the DigiBall app to show "tips" of English based on the width of the users tip. I've been against doing so and I am using this thread to show that not only does "tips from center" carry two variables with the definition, but that people...

Very well said. A spatial awareness of the cue ball surface.

Which image do you consider “one tip from center”? I am getting different answers from different people. EDIT: Thanks for your responses. I've been asked by a few to add an option to the DigiBall app to show "tips" of English based on the width of the users tip. I've been against doing so...

For the DigiBall I use the simple rigid physics body model with speed estimation to find the contact point. I then work backwards and draw the tip outline as a result of the contact point. I use spherical geometry for that, no compression. The speed estimator error and angular resolution error...

What helps a lot I found is to say to myself “they say this is the right way to play it” with “they” referring to the experts, either imagined faceless experts or some specific pro watching you from the sidelines, imaging that they are your coach. It helps the commitment.

Good work! My high run is 70, plus maybe some additional balls, but I can’t remember So I just say 70. I know how much work it takes to run 5 racks. Excellent job!

The tip deforms and creates an area of pressure rather than a point force. The discussion is where the blob centroid of the shape is, as opposed to geographic center, and is there even a difference. If the centroid is different than the center then it is interesting as it would theoretically...

I was able to port the app over to the Firestick, and tested it with the 4K Max, though it should work with many other variants. You can use the remote to mark your shots as if the TV were a firing range target paper. If anyone has a Firestick could you try downloading the app and verify that...

Clay Davis reference?

I still can not find your Declaration ID. Please let me know what to search for here. Thanks! https://qualification.bluetooth.com/Listings/Search
