Even Jesus rode one. pj <- mea culpa chgo

Yep - angle, spot & speed (ASS). All of that matters, but only for delivering the cue to the cue ball at the correct Angle, Spot and Speed. pj chgo

Maybe his hand just keeps up with the stick, loosely cradling it… Does letting go but keeping up qualify as one of them slip things? pj chgo

A friend is about to open a pool room (his fourth) with a golf simulation room. I think that’s a natural combo. pj chgo

Here’s a comment by Cornerman from a few years ago about a similar drill: “Allen Hopkins’s Q-skills. The first ten balls were open and worth 1 pt each. The last five were in rotation, each being 2 pts. So max 20 per frame, ten frames. Mike’s flip option made for an advancement of the game.” pj...

Sounds a lot like FARGO (Flip and Run, Guts Offense), a practice game invented by MIke Page. Smash break a full rack, take ball in hand (or not), and shoot any ball (like straight pool) until you get to a point where you think you can run the rest in rotation - then try that. I think you get 1...

Does "same way" mean "same stroke speed"? With soft vs. hard tips that would produce different CB speeds and therefore different amounts of swerve for many shots. The tip's only contribution is the speed difference. However you see it, it's working for you, so this is just academic...

Are you saying the "net effects of the applied spin" at the same CB speed are different if the speed is produced by the tip vs. the stroke? I think the effects are the same both ways. pj chgo

The only reason I can think of for that is that a hard tip might move the CB slightly faster with the same stroke - so a softer tip might make you stroke a little more slowly for the same outcome. In other words, it's the speed, not the tip - and the difference is probably too small to notice...
