The geometric cut angle for CTE is 30 degrees. What is actually happening to cause the OB to travel at around 25 degrees after contact.
"Throw is imparted to a ball by collision from a cue ball with no english on it through friction. This is sometimes called "collision-induced throw". The direction of the object ball's throw depends on the cue ball's path immediately before impact. Collision-induced throw "pushes" the object ball in the same direction as the cue ball was traveling before impact. Thus, a cue ball traveling from the left will cause an impacted object ball to be thrown slightly to the left of the OB's natural impact line."

Is it because of the forward motion of the CB "pushes" the OB in a combination of this forward direction/motion and in the CP on the CB to the CP on the OB (30 degrees for CTE) direction at the same time before the OB starts to roll at around 25 degrees?
Is there a high speed vid of what is happening with the 30 degree line from the base of the OB before the collision with the CB drawn on the cloth?
Thanks.
