I'm researching impact and which parameters that effect the cueball in the hit. We know that contact time is really small and changed by tip hardness and cue speed. Some people claim that you could change the contact time by timing the shot by applying a hit through the cueball. Barry Stark "proved" this in a video but as he didn't t measure tip offset, ball speed or cue speed there is no way to see what changed the contact time.
My question is: Let us say we hit a straight shot with 1/4 radius offset below center. We hit two shots where all the parameters are exactly the same except that we change the tip. One tip is very hard (95-100) and the other a super soft (55-60). As we are close to the center there should be no risk for a miscue. How will these two shots differ?
The only thing I get from the info i found is that the harder tip will create more cue ball speed. What I'm trying to understand is which shot, if any, will draw the furthest?
