Blast hard enough to spray the balls as far as possible, but light enough where you're not sending a ball off the table.

I always get a kick out of that thing.
Interesting, though, it clearly demonstrates that you really don't need any follow through to stoke the ball well. That tip doesn't get halfway through the ball at any time, and on a couple shots I slowed down it barely made it through 1/4" of the ball before it stopped, and the CB went as well as if I stroked 6" beyond the ball.
I have thought for a while now that pneumatics would make the best cue delivery device for deflection testing and such. If you could build a machine that provided a constant gas pressure, you would have a constant force on the cue throughout the stroke. Constant force = a linear acceleration rate.

I wonder how many people thing you are being serious?
Words of wisdom right there folks.
I'm going to write that down on my new 3 piece Miller Lite cue.
Yup, power that thing with propane (instead of compressed air), and hold a lighted match near any of the gas release points when you pull the trigger. Voila! Afterburner effect.![]()
I agree. What is with the OP's fixation with "blasting" (either at balls or clusters), running ram shots, extreme power, etc.?
The OP may be interested in one of these:

Now here's what you do: instead of compressed air, connect this to a tank of propane (like that which is used for barbecue grills, etc.). When you line your shot up, hold a lighted match near the muzzle. Fire! (Literally.) You get a nice "afterburner" flame after the cue fires the cue ball like a rocket. :thumbup2:

Apparently none of you fools have ever played by the rules in the great land of Ass****topia, where our OP is the resident house pro.
Every object ball you jump off the table means you win double points for that round.
Duh.
Yep.
If you aren't leaving permanent indentions in those bumper thingies then you are doing something wrong.
I've seen Buddy blast into em when he was on two fouls and getting ready to be fouled out ( playin 9ball). I asked him later what the heck was he doing and he said he thought that was his only chance and maybe if his opp didn't have an easy return safe to foul him out, he (Buddy) might get lucky and tie a couple balls up, then hope the guy can't get out.Playin the odds is what I call it. I'm pretty sure I've seen him blast in one pocket also. Sometimes it's a good shot,or the only shot. I hope I understood your question and helped some.If not,my bad. John B.
I'll be damned if I didn't have somebody do that to me a year ago in a regional. Had him on two and he just fuggered up the whole table. Every ball ended up on or right near a rail and nowhere near another ball! My 9b safety game is a bit weak, so I relented on trying for a third.
Trying to play above my head in 1P may necessitate that shot in the future. Like you said, it's in the odds. If odds are you're going to lose, ya may as well try something.
