Don’t let that dissuade you though, just because you aren’t the first doesn’t mean it won’t make for a good video.

I don't think it's possible to get tired of seeing video of a cueball thrown from a sling.

no worries, gentlemen....i rarely get discouraged, and i certainly do not get so about slinging.  Smiley  making videos however requires more tech than i possess.  it even seems i slung some pool balls when i was younger, but who knows.

How about cue ball vs another pool ball? How hard does it have to hit to crack one?

bear in mind that rs has so far not even posted a single picture of anything, let alone video Smiley

The thing to remember about a cue ball, is that on  ahard surface - if it doesn't shatter - it will richechet back almost as fast as it left the sling.
Be prepared to duck/dive/roll out of the way.

I'm hoping with a little more prodding we will get a good video CA. This group of master Appalachian slingers, if they exist, deserve to be known by the world. Borrowing a quote from The X-files... "I want to believe." Grin

  I would hate to get hit with a slung cue ball. That would surely ruin my day.

Didn't Timpa do a cue ball video? IIRC it cracked in half.
