    Cue stroking machines

    I bet the machines are accurate enough now, but for any side-spin setup, I think it would be very difficult to ensure that the cue ball was set up exactly the same, every time, even with some type of jig. Still, increasing the volume of times the "same" shot is attempted, should eventually...
