Yup me to i prefer the real thing, but i play more snooker on real, but some 3d virtual simulation are very good. I live in paris and you live in US so its sometimes a nice way to have a game. Even if of course it is different.
Yup if by shallower you mean that the angle between the cushion and the ball is smaller, i agree with you.
I don't play pool on a real table anymore, but if you play on virtual games, i would be happy to have a game with you on fly or die, the best pool simulation online for me. My id is eddy_fast. Hope to see you there ones.
Well in the video, they never say that there is draw, they say that there is a little drag after the cushion. Any case you play a different angle so it is hard to compare. Do you agree that the cue ball doesn't go where you show with your hand. It goes into the balls. On the contact on the object ball the cue ball goes at 90 degree a bit like a stun shot, like they say on the video, there is just a little drag on the cue ball, but it does not really draw back.
At a shallower angle, the draw would be retained much more.
I agree with you that with this shot, because the angle isn't shallow enough, not much draw (if any) remains on the CB off the cushion, but the bottom spin is necessary to get the action of the shot ... that's what is important here ... to hold the CB behind the balls, you need the bottom spin into the cushion.
Sorry for the confusion. I didn't think it through before I answered your previous question.
Not true, there is no draw on the cue ball when it hits the object ball. if you put draw on the cue ball and you hit a rail at more than 45° angle, the draw becomes follow. Do that shot with out draw, you will get exactly the same result.

Thanks for the offer, but I don't play "virtual pool." I prefer the real thing.
