Great diagram!Patrick Johnson said:...Here's a graphic that shows a nickel shape can produce maximum sidespin with a tip as little as 10m wide...

The 10mm shafts look a little iffy when you consider that the cueball will rotate something like an additional 7-9 degrees on a brisk hit at 1/2R. This is figured for a cueball speed of 8 mph and plausible contact times of 1.5 or 2 millisecs, respectively. It doesn't appear as if there would be much tip left on the ball, if any, near the end of impact.
