I don't think you can quantify your stroke speed or the feel of the tip on contact.
How about a perfect stroke ? Is that objective or subjective ?

cue ball control is subjective
edited to add ( because no one can teach you how hard to hit the ball to make it stop where you want it to)
perfect stroke is objective
how many perfect stop shots in a row can you hit
if you can hit 8/9 of 10 you have a perfect stroke
disclaimer i like to think a perfect stroke can put alignment /vision center etc all together into one
you can have a perfectly straight stroke and messed up eyes/vision center and miss all day from poor alignment and or unintentional spin

A bad day at the office
For the same reasons you can just be having a bad day and your delivery is off. I see where I need to send the cue ball very well, but if I have a day where my delivery is off I would guess that I would be having a very subjective day. That sort of thing is just going to happen from time to time.

First....what is a perfect stroke? Until this is defined, its subjective.
Why is it never referred to as strokes? Using stroke kinda implies only one type of stroke.
I know that, in the course of play, I use several types of strokes all based on shooting position and ball layout.

Subjective.
Although there are people who do teach stroke speeds in number terms and couple that with distance from the cueball to try and make it more consistent for the shooter.
Kelly Fisher told me a tip that I find very helpful. She said that in England they are taught to only pull back as far as you need to and no more. So when players need to go an inch but they pull back 12 inches it's harder to control the cue speed.
