Artistic shots billiards.. this time violating the laws of physics

Take all those blocks off the table. You're very creative. Very nice shots!

Thanks! Maybe I will take those blocks off yes.
I have a lot of other ideas. Next video will be very surprising. It will be a challenge for me creating it.
Stay tuned.
 
The third shot is about as close to a pique as i have ever seen.
Very impressive.

Nobody here seems to have noticed what is so strange about the shots. I wonder which english -- left or right -- he is using on each shot. Can anyone figure it out?

Hey Bob was nice seeing you at the Derby classics!
All side spin applications from the players perspective (imho)

1.pique' ultimate draw with left hand
side spin
2.picke' draw with swooped left hand side english
3.picke' draw with swooped left hand side english
4.picke' draw with a ton of swooped right hand side spin

Would do you think?

The definition of a pique as i understand it: a shot similar to a masse using no left or right english.

That is what i found to be impressive.

Could you please explain how you are getting sidepsin on the rail that seems opposite of what one would expect based on the direction of the masse?

You are right in the thread title ... the shots do seem to violate the laws of physics.

Thanks,
Dave

Let's start with this one. If he uses left side spin, how does the cue ball curve to the right during the first part of the shot? The cue ball clearly has left side spin when it gets to the second cushion. And the cue ball curves to the right a lot during the first part of the shot.

Does anybody have any ideas for how he might be pulling off these shots?

Absent a simple explanation in line with our normal understanding of ball motions, could it be pulled off with a trick ball? So that the friction of the english is eventually over taken by the momentum of whatever curious characteristics of the ball are in play (strange weighting for example)?

Except for the angles it takes off the "wrong" cushion, it doesn't appear to have any funny stuff going on like you might see with an off-center ball.

I guess that's possible, but I would think the CB might move funny over different parts of the trajectory also, and not just when it hit a cushion.

Examples of what can happen with a "trick" ball are demonstrated in the following video:

But wouldn't that also happen when other people hit shots like this? When everybody else I've seen hits masse shots like these, the sidespin persists during the entire shots and doesn't change direction as it is doing in these videos.
