anyone ever notice/have explanation for different reactions of the cue ball when you put the same english with the same stroke. i would like to think that i'm a good player with a good idea of how the cueball should react under ideal and adverse conditions. i can't understand, however, how when struck with draw, a red circle cue ball can "bite" at times and "slide" or "not bite" on different equipment. is it the ball itself? is it the cloth? i have "experimented with this quite a bit. same brand cue ball, same brand cloth (simonis): totally different results. a simple draw shot of 1 foot on 1 table draws back 3 feet on a different table with the same ball, cloth, cloth wear, stroke and humidity. a power draw shot is about half a table's length in difference for me. 7 foot bar table: junk cue ball, junk cloth= more "bite". is there a logical explanation for this? am i even making any sense to anyone?
