Is the Object Ball just a "Mirrored Reflection" of the Cue Ball

By this definition, what would be the difference between "accelerate" and "decelerate"?
No, it's not. For instance, you can block your grip hand against the rail to prevent follow through and still make the shot (and even get all the action you want on the CB). Follow through is an effect, not a cause.

So you think "accelerate through the ball" is interchangeable with "decelerate through the ball"?

Fvcking science nerds.
When I take a shower, I let the glass doors steam up, then I press my butt cheeks up against it, and it is like a mirrored reflection of my ass.
Fact.
Fact.
really........you have seen all of the American pool players play in order to make that statement?
Wow you must get around a lot.........so......since I am a american pool player, have you ever seen me shoot? I could be the best player there is, you just never know.
Not all the best players in American are pros. It is just possible there are better play then the pros out there. Just that they are unknown.
But this attitude that just the pros know how to play is widespread in the pool world.
Well... now that just explains every single one of your posts.
The two best American players were Hoppe and Mosconi. They didn't use it, Efren doesn't neither does Archer, Davenport, Wiley, & Strickland just to name a few. The two you mention are PAID to use them.
In physics, for objects in motion there is no difference...acceleration is ANY change in an objects velocity!
Put your money where your mouth is! I'm coming to Chicago soon to visit my daughter and grandson...you play the way you just described (since it has no effect on the shot) and I will play with "follow-through" for $1000 a rack. Afterall you must shoot that way all the time and therefore confident that it has no effect on the cueball! Right?
There is a purpose for "follow-through"! It is a cause because it is something you MUST do to properly execute a shot. You must be able to propel the cue stick into the cue ball in a "straight line motion" (rectilinear), which is where constant acceleration comes into play. *It is a simply fact that your arm and cue stick have a greater mass than the cue ball, so follow-through is inevitable. To try and prevent follow-through can cause deviation of the straight-line motion...with the results being unpredictable. Go play a couple of racks, then come back and take me up on my bet!
*Think of the bug and the windshield, both traveling at the same velocity. When they collide, who gets crushed and who continues on it's way undeterred (without deviating from it's path)?
Let me put this in a way even you will understand...Follow-through with constant acceleration prevents deviation from a straight line! No need to comment any further PJ. Not even you can change the laws of physics!

First off Quack I was responding to the other bird of feather when he said 60% of pro's use a LD. shaft ,, personally I think it's more
Second your right not all the best players are pro's just the best of the best are

Ya any many other players who play with regular shafts are doing so because a maker gave them a cue ,,
We don't know if Willie or Hoppe would have played with one or not anymore than we if Bobby Jones would have played with a metal wood right at the time they were coming out ,, ,,
If it was just smoke and mirrors the LD shaft market would have fizzled out long ago ,,

The LD market hasn't fizzled because of idiots like you that think a gimmick will make you a better shot maker!
The only reason it's not bigger is because morons like you don't understand you can buy a better game but some people have their heads stuck to far up thier butt to see the light

It also means a change in direction of motion. So you're apparently arguing that we must speed up the stroke, slow it down, change its direction or any combination of the three? Unless you're not just playing juvenile semantic games...
I'll bet they're as thrilled as I am.
You mean like this?
