Equipment Variation: A dimpled cue ball

[DeeDeeCues]

Its a creative engineering exercise.

Its a common thought exercise to reverse engineer or use substitute materials to encourage certain effects.

Billiards equipment has been around for awhile but few products exist for players with less than 100% physical ability.

The engineering problems I am focused on are playing pool from a seated position, playing pool with symptomatic signs of parkinsons and playing pool with partial or limited vision.

The design challenge also includes
solving the problems stated with easy to find and shape materials.

Growing a pool community means making it easier to play or participate in.

I think you are confusing engineering and fungineering.

If no one has developed the product than its original engineering research.

Dimples make golf easier. Do you see why?

I've been told I have nice dimples when I smile but I still suck at golf.

Please don’t sully the term ‘engineering.’ The fact that you don’t know why a golf ball has dimples tells me you don’t have the foggiest notion about engineering.

A dimpled cue stick could be 3d printed. Would improved aerodynamics on the cue improve shooting precision or accuracy?

Off your meds again ??

The design challenge remains unsolved in the billiard community. The pool market is not equipped for certain types of players.

If the cue did experience lift on the stroke due to aerodynamics it might create a stroke with controlled deflection.

I am calling it a rolling stroke, any stroke using controlled deflection.

Haven't you done enough damage to pool?...stay out of golf.

You really don't know why dimples are on a golf ball.

Wow.

We are dangerously close to reinventing the game of pit-pat.

I know why!!!
It makes them look cute!
Dimples on a lady are cute!

If the cue ball had dimples and the object balls had bumps to match, your "gearing" english would finally live up to its name. Maybe if we changed the material we could get sparks on every collision to go with the friction.

Just think of the skids, guys! Skids for days.

OP is clearly an expert in pharmaceuticals, he always seems to be on only the best ones. Maybe that expertise will translate to imagineering after all...
