Well got another observation! Why is it when I hit the cue with a little force(needing it to roll after contact) it STOPS!! THEN THE NEXT SHOT I TAP IT SOFTLY SO IT CANT ROLL 2&1/2 FEET!! IT ROLLS 2&1/2 FEET & SCRATCHED! your. Game is set up to "pot the cue ball" enough already for Pete's sake! Thanks for hearing me!
