Source sentences:
text: If the cue ball hits an object ball at an angle and has follow on it (is spinning forward), the cue ball will first travel on the tangent line and then parabolically arc forward from the tangent line in the direction of cue ball travel.
text: If a cue ball is sliding, not rolling, at the time it contacts an object ball at an angle (i.e. on a cut shot , not a center-to-center impact), the cue ball will travel in a line tangential to the point of impact between both balls – the tangent line .
text: By the same token, when such impact is made and the cue ball has draw (back-spin) on it, the cue ball will first travel on the tangent line and then parabolically arc backward from the tangent line in the opposite direction of cue ball travel.
