Check out all this research from Dr. David Alciatore from the University of Colarado, this is all about the physics of the game featuring high speed videos:

Also have you ever wondered like me which tips are soft, medium and hard scientifically tested and measured, then read this:

Dave's a good guy. He helped me find a snooker table or two in Colorado.

i have saw it long time before, and download the most of the stuff, besides the 30 90 degree rule, i think it's not as helpful as i expected, but maybe it's helpful to someone else

James. Sorry. Thanks. Just noticed...

Not here, but I did mention your Phd physics guy link on another thread as being really great... and it was... actually, will be as I've bookmarked it for repeated return... tons of great little clips and such.
Very interesting and helpful.


Cheers!

Thanks. All I known is that I haven't ever seen PhD research on cuesports.

Just to clarify: "Dr. Dave" is a mechanical engineering professor, not a physicist or a PhD student. His book and articles in Billiards Digest refer to his videos and provide additional info.
