Cueball tip location

Do I care how accurate my tip location is during my cueball hit?

  • No. If the object ball goes in the pocket and the cueball goes where I want it, then I don't care.

  • Yes. I want to know how close my tip ended up being compared to where my brain wanted it.

  • I don't know. I never really thought about the importance of such a thing.

  • Never. Pool is organic and either you're born to play well or you aren't; stop trying to think.

  • Absolutely! Feel can change under pressure but solid fundamentals is your permanent foundation.

I agree, except I think squirt needs to be included. It angles the stick’s force into the CB away from the line of the shaft in the direction of CB travel - making the CB’s direction of travel the line that determines the CB’s center and miscue limit.

This means that for a given CB direction the CB’s center and miscue limits are the same no matter what stick angles are used for high or low squirt because the direction of force into the CB is the same.

PJ,

You are contradicting yourself in posts 35 and 36 ten minutes apart.

Hang-the-9's simple diagram in post 40 should make it obvious that hitting the same point on the cue ball from different angles will give different results.

Post 35 is about hitting the CB with the same stick at different angles, sending the CB in different directions.

Post 36 is about hitting the CB with different sticks at different angles whose different squirt amounts compensate for the different angles, sending the CB in the same direction.
