That is what I was talking about. When you try it, what are your results? If you manage 3:1 spin transfer and can get a video, I would love to see it, to figure out what I am doing wrong. Thank you kindly.

Everyone has their own set of business ethics. You just came up against this person's. His feelings about how he wants to run his business are his opinion, not really up for discussion, and likely to be emotionally charged. Don't take it as an insult, and move on with your day, would be my...

Ping pong is a much different beast. First what do you mean by the center of the ball in reference to ping pong? Balls are spherically symmetrical (in three dimensions), a cue ball has a couple of natural symmetry breakers, 1) it is on a flat surface, 2) It has a direction parallel to that...

What if the vehicle I visualize my game as, is a Tesla? :) Great advice. Thank you kindly.

Lefties also tend to be more ambidextrous than righties, since they live in a right-handed world. This could make off-hand shots a bit easier, giving them a slight advantage. Thank you kindly.

Why? Thank you kindly.

That seems outrageously high. I tried this just now on, by lining up three balls for a straight in shot, and shooting softly with lots of english. I could get the middle ball to spin a few times, while the cue ball spun for a few seconds. I lack a high speed camera to count cue ball...

That's ok. As we have seen, you don't provide evidence when asked nicely either. Perhaps it isn't too late to get a refund on that college Physics class. :D Any two force vectors can be added to give a single resultant vector. Thank you kindly.

Get declared a foul. I'll be happy to demonstrate that to anyone who uses it in a game with me. :eek: Thank you kindly.

Yes. The difference is I don't think my education in physics entitles me to qualify my opinion as informed, until I have actually done the analysis. Thank You Kindly. p.s. did you really want to get into a education level pissing contest with me when we have a professor of mechanical...

Now that's some serious deflection :smile: I don't have a dog in this hunt, I am merely trying to get an understanding of the issue. If you have equations or empirical data, I would kindly request that you post it. If not, I will adjust the weight I give your claims accordingly. Thank you...

Of more use than your bona fides would be the actual physics equations you used to come to your conclusions. Thank you kindly.

Anyone care to speculate about what mechanism a cue would have to cause swerve to increase (without an increase in usable spin) or to cause swerve to happen 'sooner'? Thank you kindly.

Absolutely. Wooden arrows are custom made for a particular archer, specifying length; weight; spline; tip weight; size, shape, number, and spin of fletching; etc. All made from aged dried carefully matched shafts. Quite a bit like cues actually, if one bought a dozen cues at a time, and one...

The energy delivered is a multiple of mass (weight) and speed SQUARED. From the relation above we can see that weight needs to make up for more than the lost speed. Additionally the amount of energy that actually gets transferred is dependent on the difference in weight between the cue and...

It could be that the Super Aramith Pro Resin used in the measles ball makes a better object ball (say in terms of longevity and resilience), while the cheaper Aramith Premium Resin makes object balls with less longevity, but a cue ball that takes less chalk marks. I can see Aramith wanting all...

Can't find it in my 1988 copy. Thank You Kindly.

Ok, if you say so. Most list mainly Naphtha. But there has to be a better way to put paraffin on a cue shaft. One that doesn't involve inhalation hazards, for example. Thank you kindly.

Can I ask an innocent question? What the heck is in lighter fluid that could act as a sealant? Lighter fluid's job is to be 100% VOCs; every bit of it should evaporate (then combust). A lighter fluid that left residue on your lighter would be a pain. Thank you kindly.

Your point came across just fine. I was making a point about your wording. No offense intended. For what it's worth, I might pay $1 for an app if it showed ratings for the people *I* play. That would entail getting game records from most every pool player, not just those who play in...
