Stroke with no acceleration versus stroke with acceleration

Reviewing my personal journey in pool development, my stroke has gone from a wild motion of thrust to highly controlled burst strokes.

Masse shot clearly has acceleration, if your not sure blame Isaac Newton.

Level playing cue shots have more room for mathematical variety.

The three classifications of strokes are a negative (decelerating), positive (accelerating) and a zero acceleration.

Early players are unmeasured with positive stroke. Competition players demonstrate zero stroke and the talent revolves around stroke consistency and gameplay.

The negative stroke is great for practice and study. A negative stroke exercise is exactly what it sounds like if you lift weights.
I quit taking practice strokes when I get down behind the cue ball. I find that I hit more of a punch shot similar to Jayson Shaw and I’m just as accurate if not more so.

What about the academy soliciting contributions?

It and statied it would sponsor a female player "interested in becoming the first woman to invent the [sic] billiard game". There was also a call for a woman to become president of the WCBS.

Misappropriation of resources is a polite phrase for fraud.

In terms of Boxing Pacquiao (Pacman) throws his entire body into his left.

In billiards a power stroke is not as dramatic but you know from the sound.

Some punch strokes I like jabby, otherwise I want solid contact.

Shaw displays a power strokes often, they are fun to watch.

SVB was better at combos. Could be fun to analyze and compare the stroke mechanics of the most US Open 9ball titles holder and the highest 14.1 runner ever.

Internal politics are not for public debate.

Imagine a billiard game designed specifically for female physical characteristics.

Let's talk about height of table, weight of cue, weight of balls.

What if the female game used lighter balls?
Slogan: Women compete just like the men, but with lighter balls.

That could be oddly misleading and awkward.

You brought it here and it was a fine forum for your discussions on the topic when you wanted it to be.

Youre a liar and a charlatan. Don't move out of yer mom's house.

Salt brined wagyu halal leather tips would be a welcome addition to pool world offerings. I'm sure you've also considered thinly sliced top round beef jerky for pool cue handle wraps. Spicy and teriyaki flavors would be top sellers I would think.

He's absolutely considered jerky.

That's got to be the stupidest idea I've ever heard. Just what do you think is going to happen if the player has a dog? People! Please think through these things a little more. Sheesh.
 
Anything that starts at rest, travels out to a point, then stops and/or reverses direction to return has periods of positive, negative, and zero acceleration.

At some point in that journey the cue ball gets in the way.

Just further proof that he knows math and physics no more than he knows pool.
 
If you know what a tuning fork is, it has properties that are interesting.
A tuning fork can detect a bone fracture because it emits a frequency that creates a pain sensation in a broken bone.

This property applies to people with early stage arthritis in pool players, there are many small bones in the hand and each stroke can make the sensation alive.

A cue stick that does not vibrate upon impact, would it help players?

The technical way to solve a vibrationless cue stick is a top priority at BIRPA, Billiard Improvement Research Projects Agency. (BARPA was outdated, Advanced = Waste of Money)
Apply today. Creative thinkers are welcome.

If you have past experience with high frequency vibrations on rigid surfaces in dynamic environments you are strongly encouraged to apply.

The cheap way is to wrap the cue with a cloth, but it is not the most effective way to limit vibrations.

Any thoughts on the vibrationless cue stick?
