  • 1994 Ball, Draw a Line Perpendicular to El-E, and Extend It Until It Meets the Extended Path of the Object Ball at E2
    How Tough is Tough? by BOB JEWETT DOES A LONG, straight shot require more accuracy than a shorter thin cut? Is a bank or a cut easier? The answer is partly individual; you might love thin cut shots but dread long shots. Such prefer- ences aside, simple geometry can be used to assign a difficulty factor to each shot and allow an objective comparison. The basic difficulty of a shot is deter- mined by two distances: how far the cue ball travels to the object ball and how far the object ball travels to the pocket. Let's measure these distances in diamonds. The difficulty on a straight shot is found by multiplying these two distances together. Figure 1 has several examples. Shot A has each distance equal to one, so its diffi- culty is 1 = 1 x 1. Shot B has each distance equal to two for a difficulty of four. C, at 12 (3 x 4), starts to be tough enough you might look for another shot or safety. This difficulty number tells you directly how accurate your mechanics have to be on the shot. Let's assume that your bridge hand is placed perfectly, and all the error is in where your grip hand is at the instant of tip-to-ball impact. Using similar triangles, typical pocket size, and average wing span, it turns out that the total "window" for your back hand to come through is just one over the difficulty factor, with the an- swer in inches. Shot C is a 12, so the win- dow is only a twelfth of an inch wide, or a twenty-fourth of an inch to either side of perfect.

    Motions of a billiard ball after a cue stroke Hyeong-Chan Kim1 1School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Korea National University of Transportation, Chungju, 27469, Korea∗ We study the collision between the cue and the ball in the game of billiards. After studying the collision process in detail, we write the (rotational) velocities of the ball and the cue after the collision. We also find the squirt angle of the ball for an oblique collision which represents the deviation of the ball from the intended direction. I. INTRODUCTION In 1835, Coriolis [1] studied the mathematical analysis of billiards for the first time. To my knowledge, it takes more than one century for another work for the billiard games based on physics [2]. In Refs. [3,4], the authors considered the effect of friction on collisions of billiard balls in 2-dimensions. In Ref. [5], Han studied various aspects of the billiard physics. Mathavan used a fast camera to analyze the ball motions in the billiard games [6] and studied the motion of the ball under cushion impact [7]. The billiard models were also used to develop a robotics system [8]. A cue stroke on a billiard ball makes the ball run along the line of cue incidence. This ordinary point of view in billiards games is correct for a head-on collision only between the ball and the cue. Coriolis [1] calculated the outcome of the collision based on a coefficient of restitution (COR) when the cue strikes the ball's center with zero impact parameter. Here, the COR is defined based on the head-on collision.

It’s time to reveal the answers. There were a couple of typos in the quiz, but I guess figuring those out was part of the challenge. Since entries are still coming in as I write this, the winners will be announced next month. 1.Diagram One, shot 1 is a cut shot on a frozen ball sending it down the rail. The best way to make this shot is to hit the ball and the rail at the same time. False. This topic was the subject of my first column, which had readers test the idea for them- selves. You have to hit the cushion first to maximize your chances of making the ball due to throw. Unfortunately lots of old books and some current instructors say otherwise. 2.In shot 2, the bank is set up so that if you hit the 2 ball full, softly and without spin on the cue ball, it will go straight to the pocket. If you hit the same shot very firmly, the 2 will land at about point S, between a diamond and two diamonds from the pocket.

  • Mechanics of Billiards, and Analysis of Willie Hoppe's Stroke
    MECHANICS OF BILLIARDS, AND ANALYSIS OF WILLIE HOPPE'S STROKE A. D. MOORE Professor of Electrical Engineering College of Engineering University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan January 17, 1942 January 6, 1947: Additional Notes. Since writing the manuscript five years ago, some additional facts have come to light, and should be mentioned here. At the bottom of the page, page 26, it is concluded that the cue ball initial velocity, in the nine-cushion shot, is no more than in the break shot. This is wrong. Hoppe and Cochran both say that the nine-cushion shot takes a much harder stroke. Al¬ though I have never managed to make this shot, my attempts at it force me to agree. I went wrong in my analysis by assuming that the flash interval in the Life photographs was the same for all shots. As it turns out, the apparatus (which I have learned was built at Bell Lab¬ oratories by a former student of mine!) was adjustable: for any one shot, the best flash interval for recording that shot could be used. On page 39, I stated certain conclusions about the bridge, and tightness of the bridge. Since studying neuromuscular phenomena, and after recording my own stroke and analyzing it, I conclude that the most important function of the professional's tight bridge is to furnish a constant resistance to cue movement. This, in turn, requires him to shoot tetanically. That is, the stroking muscles are in a constant state of contraction while accelerating the cue. My theory is that only in this was can one master the "velocity" part of the game, and reliably impart to the cue ball the desired velocity, in order to play position.

  • Pythagoras & Pool Perpendiculars
    Pythagoras & Pool Perpendiculars by BOB JEWETT EVERY BOOK ABOUT pool that gets far enough into the subject to discuss combinations or po- sition play says that the "kiss angle," or the angle between two colliding balls, is 90 degrees or a right angle. None of them tells you why. The explanation takes only a little physics plus your favorite the- orem from high school geometry — the one by Pythagoras. Simple extensions of the analysis show how the kiss angle changes if throw or imperfect balls are in- cluded in the calculations. Figure 1 diagrams a simple collision. The cue ball (or it might be an object ball) arrives along path C, sending the target ball along path A. The cue ball leaves along path B. For the time being, we will assume that there is no throw, so path A is along the line joining the centers of the two balls at the instant of the collision. cue ball has kept some (arrow B).
