Lol, I still struggle with cueball control.Not sure where my cueball was made but at times it balks at my application of English.
Because it couldn't be the stroke?
It may have something to do with my playing 14.1 exclusively. The corner shots are starting to bobble, but the rails don’t get much wear.
The ball bends every time it hits and leaves a cushion. The ball rolls into the cushion, cushion bounces it away, ball wants to keep rolling in the initial direction.
Kinda off topic but the where they actually hit the ball is indeed the answer. I often noticed beginners that couldn't draw their rock. Their draw attempts would be amusing to watch as they reset the shot and hit it harder each time. Not realizing that in the attempt to add power their shoulder would drop, causing the tip to hit higher on the cueball than their aim intended.
sometimes I just can't behave.

Of course this leads to My sales pitch for beginners, "look at the cueball as you whack it." Sorry Dr
Oh gosh I had forgotten your your video justifying object ball last. The foundation comes first.(Well IMHOI would instead encourage them to try to improve their stroke mechanics and draw shot technique. I certainly wouldn’t want them to lose the benefits that OB-last focus provides.
) THEN the mechanical. Until those are perfected the aim is of little consequence. Shot making is the strength of object ball last. Cueball control is the strength of whitey at impact.
(again ). Your baseball analogy is flawed in mentioning the pitcher instead of the Hitter. Would you recommend that the hitter look at the fence if they seek to hit a home run? That's rhetorical
FYI, I am not interested in debating this further. The years-long debate is well past the “beaten dead horse” stage. All of my perspectives and opinions can be found on the eye pattern “best practices” resource page, for those who are interested.
Do you use any sort of wax to polish them?
Sorry to hear about your horse.
Do you have a recommendation?
Typically, I just use the spray cleaner sold by the polish machine retailer. Rarely, when balls pickup black marks, I’ll use a popular ball cleaning cream, but some residue from that remains in the machine felt and seems to have a lasting effect. Polishing these days is seldom anyway since my adoption of green V10.
Does that cleaner contain wax or silicone?
No need for polish yet it's been at least a year. I do however buff them as they come out of holding and into play. The Levi pockets fit the cueball nicely to rotate it on the hemm.....while the jerk wad was grandstanding......while racking.......again.
