High-Speed Pool and Billiards Video Clips
Useful context from the subtitle:
> Super slow motion clips supports "The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards"
Down that rabbit hole a bit further:
https://drdavebilliards.com/videos/high-speed-video/
> The HSV DVD contains numerous narrated super-slow-motion video clips filmed with a special high-speed video camera.
I note a (c) 2007 on the DVD's label image on the website, which probably explains the video quality.
Given that there are at least ~25 other instructional DVDs included in various sets for sale, I get the impression that these videos are essentially online for free because they're not really useful without either having purchased the coursework or being enough of an expert that you don't need the coursework anyways. Still neat, though.
Dr. Dave is awesome. If you like this, you might also like "Amateur Physics for the Amateur Pool Player" -- http://www.sfbilliards.com/Misc/Shepard_apapp.pdf
Dr. Dave is an absolutely fascinating resource about the mechanics of pool, in an incredibly niche way[0]
I took a quick look at a few of the videos. While they do provide insight into cue ball/target ball behavior, they don't seem to show how to achieve the shots in the first place.
Are there videos that also show how the cue hits the ball?
these are excellent. Now I just need the same series of videos but for https://wildlifestudios.com/game-tennis/
Shame the quality is so low.
I randomly watched a few of these... and they just seem to be what I'd expect, a cue hits a ball or a ball hits a cushion.
Are there any that are particularly noteworthy or counterintuitive? Without context or guidance, I'm not sure what the value is supposed to be here... would love to understand what I'm missing!
