I'm not a science teacher (I'm an engineering professor), but I am a dumb-ass at times. Regardless, I love pool more than most people who play.

Me too. :)

@DrDaveBilliards Makes perfect sense to me.

Thank you for your kind words. Thank you also for giving me a reason to improve the roll/slide section on the website.
Regards,
Dave

@DrDaveBilliards : Superb! In my mind there is NO DOUBT that your work and website represents the absolute PINNACLE of work on pool available all in one place. I'm certain that it's reputation will grow far and wide, and become known as the central clearing house for concrete, rational pool information.

FYI, I updated and added stuff to the "English-spin/slide/roll" page in the FAQ section of my website. Check it out. It is much more clear now, with good explanations and illustrations concerning all of your questions.

Dear Dr. Dave --I've been playing since I was 14 yrs. old--44 yrs. and I'm as good as they come so I guess when I say you don't know what you're talking about --I speak from experience. Why don't you switch sides so the tape doesn't keep the ball straight.

The cue ball does swerve after being struck (with English and a non-level cue), but only while it is sliding. Once the cue ball starts rolling (with or without sidespin), it heads in a straight line. The measuring tape has nothing to do with it.
See the "swerve" section of the FAQ section of my website (the link is in the video description) for more info, demonstrations, and explanations.
Thank you for the comment (even if you don't like the video),

When using English, you must adjust form squirt, swerve, and throw. For more info, see "aiming - aim compensation" in the FAQ section of my website.
The purpose of this video was to show that a ball rolling with sidespin (after squirt and swerve have occurred) travels in a straight line.
