So I've always wanted to try some of the artistic shots but never wanted to beat up anyone's table. Now that I have my own, I don't want to beat that one up either...
What are your thoughts on using a 4x4" snippet from the old Simonis 300 that came off the table that Yura left with me as a little pad under the balls I start striking at, while I learn? I'm thinking it would be like using a piece under a cue during a break shot in pool, which is widely considered to be of benefit to the room owner and also not something that negatively affects the quality of the break shot itself.
Any thoughts from y'all on how much that would affect actually the cue ball behaving the way it otherwise would without the extra cloth?
Obviously it's worth doing even if I'm not making the points, but I suppose I consider it more an academic point -- if you put a piece under, say, Sayginer's ball, would it affect his shot making in any large way?
