In this break and run I had yesterday, I shot the 2 ball and when I watched the footage back I noticed that the cue came directly up after contact when drawing the ball. I’ve noticed professionals do this on certain shots (SVB more than most) and always wondered what causes it. Is it because the cue is so elevated, that a cue tip with a trajectory directly into the cloth would’ve jumped the ball or miscued? Just looking to get some insights on the physics of this. Thanks in advance!
