Throw and deflection
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 6:24 am
I did a search but couldn't find anything on this topic: Can Virtual Pool 3 generate:
1. "throw": the friction between two balls slightly changing the angle of deflection
2. "English-induced throw": the same effect but caused by English on the cue ball, also known as the "gear effect", e.g. if the cue ball was spinning clockwise it would impart a slight counterclockwise rotation to the object ball
3. deflection: a.k.a. "squirt", which occurs when a player uses English and the the angle of the cue ball off the tip of the cue is altered slightly due to the flexing of the cue stick itself?
thank you, I'm very impressed with this game,
Roy
