So Chris,
Your answer brings more thoughts, questions. You are implying that no billiard balls just roll on the surface, they are all slipping? (Until friction with the table surface takes over and rotates the ball.) And no ball can reflect along it's trajectory track since they do not make contact at the percussion point? So the surface must have much more to do with ball interaction than it would seem, correct?
