Chemical warfare at tournaments? AKA Not showering

I was thinking of helping aim. Like in that one pool episode of quantum leap.

What do you mean 'helping aim'?

Are you saying you cannot see the path to the pocket for a given shot?

Never mind the many things that actually influence the way a ball travels once struck by another.

Go to the aiming forum... it will be a big help. Big one.

carbon fiber has characteristics

mass production of carbon is happening.

what if you wanted to hit the cue ball more firmly or have more control over how the cue strikes the cue ball.

available materials on the market cant be mass produced.

imagine a self leveling cue stick while stroking. no worry about stroke. just hit and plan next move.

In order:

No shit

No shit

A stick and 2 rubber bands make a simple mechanical pendulum that would provide easily repeatable stroke delivery of virtually any force levels needed.

Any materials used to date for pool are beyond easy to procure.

Why? I want my opponent to know everything he does comes down to a test of my execution vs. his. I like my odds.

Like have a pair of AR glasses and a laser or such and it tells you where to hit the cue ball how much force etc etc. Like it would say hit the cue ball with low left english to hit the seven ball into the 9 ball to make it into the pocket or such.

Even if you know the right spot to hit, you still have to actually do it. That's where most people get stuck.

PS: You smell.
PPS: Badly.
PPPS: Shower pls, kthkx bai

But you still have your crooked stroke and inability to do what you think doing.

And now you are going to be a rail beater with sly glasses and lights...who smells really bad as well.

Sounds like a useless idea and an indulgent leap into useless 'what-if' land.

You have extended the silliness to shot choice. An algorithm is not going to beat straight shooting, sorry.

I can think of a LOT of guys who can play the game absolutely wasted out of their mind and in no condition to make good decisions off the table. The game isn't hard for a vast majority of the time you play, it is the execution that matters and no glasses or lasers are going to change that.

Invest in my always level striking cue stick.
 
Eating lots of the right stuff at the right time will create an astronomical amount of horrific smelling flatulence.
You can time your intake to coincide with tourney time and really have your opponent on the ropes.
Silence is golden, they can blame you but can't prove it.
Some will even unscrew and concede the match. (posting for a friend)

It is a 3d action and level ain't gonna cut it alone.
 
I had a APA team captain who smelled. It didn’t affect his opponent as they were at the table separately, it affected his teammates because he would come sit next to us.

I grew up playing SWCCG

they had sheet protectors back then and counting your deck in front of an opponent always felt like a magic show where I would palm multiple cards but magically make count and my stack would be slightly higher.

Everytime I see a cue stick out of a bag, I want to weight it and check its dimensions.
Too many people have access 3d printers and machine shop equipment they can use for illegal modifications to a cue stick.

What would be an example of an illegal modification to a cue stick?

Yep, knowing what to do is a lot easier than knowing how to do it.

Most players don't get better not due to not knowing where to aim but how to hit what they are aiming for. This is why you see APA coaches point to exact point on the ball they want someone to hit and many times the player still manages to miss the entire ball or hit way off the target, just a lack of knowledge how to hit the cueball to make it go in a straight line towards the target.
