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!
Slo-Mo shots are great for explaining things like "double taps". That's when your cue contacts the cue ball twice while following through. It happens in situations where you are followng through into an object ball at a close distance, and so the cue ball bounces back into the cue while the cue is moving forward, giving two taps. this is an illegal move and results in a foul in most play besides casual bar rules. Showing someone in slow motion, it makes a lot of sense.
Not many people know how to jump the cue ball legally, and even fewer know how to control the spin on a jump shot, so I thought these different jumps were interesting: https://billiards.colostate.edu/high-speed-video/hsv-7-23/ https://billiards.colostate.edu/high-speed-video/hsv-7-24/ https://billiards.colostate.edu/high-speed-video/hsv-7-25/

To really appreciate this content might need a little basics course on billiards. It’d probably be really useful for someone practicing a hobby and trying to get tactics practiced and analyzed.
Are very useful for understanding fouls.
