Miscue Limit on Rempe ball

Curious if anyone else has experimented with the miscue limit using the Rempe training ball. Across several attempts, I was able to get draw action while hitting between the 2 and 3 rings on the advanced side, while any hit beyond the 3 ring scooped the ball off the table.

Using the theoretical measurements from Dr. Dave, I'd have expected that I could hit the ball just outside of the 3 ring (1/16" below it).

Along those lines, any idea why they would provide rings 4/5 other than as aiming guidelines, as there is no way you can get contact that far out on the ball without miscue.

I think the Rempe ball is made out of the same phenolic as regular Aramith cue balls. The miscue limit should be the same. Check your chalk. Or try max spin with a stripe. Left/right may be easier to measure than draw/follow and should give the same result.
 
I have a Rempe ball here at home but sadly no pool table to experiment with.

Looking at the ball, the 5 ring is definitely outside of the cueing range.

Maybe it is just a guideline for placement of the full tip? After all, when you are down on the shot, your 13 mm shaft obscures the small, actual contact point.

I designed this ball so that the white circle is the miscue limit. Anything Inside the circle is not a miscue (with a properly chalked cue) and anything outside it IS a miscue with any cue.

From what I remember the circle is 13mm. Each number is a half tip down from center of a 13mm tip. The 5th line would be 2.5 tips down and the actual contact point would be just under the "3" line.

The cue should be 2.25" and a 50% radius miscue limit would be .5625" below center. The "3" line is .5256" below center and .0369" above the theoretical miscue limit (about 1/32"). Given that humans seldom reach theoretical limit the "3" contact point is the best most can achieve for a hit from center.

I read smaller tip and low deflection shaft has a smaller miscue limit than 13mm tips and higher deflection.
