Reverse-Spin Massé Proposition Shot

[dr_dave]

FYI, I just posted a new video that discusses and demonstrates 9 ways to curve the cue ball one way and then have it rebound off a cushion the opposite way. Check it out:

As always, I look forward to your feedback, comments, questions, complaints, and requests.

Enjoy!

Might be useful to see the gyrations of a spot on the surface of the ball.

Great Video Dr Dave ! I’ve always wanted to see you do a video on cue ball effects to properly measure a two rail bank shot like the infamous Z shot by Efren. That shot comes up every now and then and it is one I always guess at. Help a brotha out ! As always, enjoy everything you do !

What shot are you referring to?

What shot are you referring to?

The pre-spun masse but I suppose any bizarre cue ball action. Kinda groggy and can't visualize the spin.
While I'm thinking about it, how many oscillations (spins) can a moving object carry? Is it infinite?

There is a system for measuring Z kicks and banks, but it is not very reliable and requires a lot of feel.

The spotless ball was used on purpose so you couldn’t see the spin. That was part of the deception.

… only with an infinitely strong stroke with an infinitely strong cue.
