how many microdots are on the shootable part of the cb?

It doesn't help at all. It was just an answer in response to the op's curiosity.

It would be like a ballerina being curious about how many different places her feet could be placed on a dance floor. Sure, there's an answer that can be calculated, but all the only thing that really matters is that she knows where her feet need to go for any particular dance.

i will get over it
and ask my own useless inqueries... 😂
 
A simple way to relate the amount of tip offset to the amount of effect (at least for some shots):

Maximum sidespin changes the CB's rebound angle by ~3 diamonds crosstable (on tables I'm familiar with).
Whatever fraction of 3 diamonds angle change I need is the fraction of maximum side spin I use.

If I'm kicking straight across the table into a long rail and want to rebound 1 diamond to the side on the near rail, I use 1/3 of maximum side spin. For a 1/2 diamond change I use 1/6 of maximum, for 2 diamonds I use 2/3, etc.

Each 1mm of tip offset (there are 15 from center to miscue limit) changes my crosstable angle by about 1/5 diamond.
