For years I thought the center of the cue ball was somewhere it's not.
Where is the center of the cue ball to you?

The cue ball's only meaningful center is its center of mass or 3-dimensional center. To put 1/2 tip of follow or draw spin on the cue ball you aim 1/2 tip above or below the 3-dimensional center, which will be different points on the cue ball's surface for different cue elevations.nineballman said:For years I thought the center of the cue ball was somewhere it's not.

Also, the miscue boundary is determined by 3-dimensional center - it's about 1 full tip (1/2") above or below 3-dimensional center, which is different points on the cue ball for different cue elevations.Patrick Johnson said:The cue ball's only meaningful center is its center of mass or 3-dimensional center.

A "center ball hit" should be relating to a kill shot at the appropriate speed, which will have a relative tip-to-cue ball place to hit.
