About sidespin in billiards

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello everyone, when I simulate a cue hitting a cue ball with no sidespin, Comsol Multibody dynamics always generates some sidespin. How do I avoid this? I am sure the cue is hitting the ball's centre, which means there should be no sidespin.

Appreciate all the help.

One option may be to use an appropriate symmetry plane.
