#2these are excellent. Now I just need the same series of videos but for https://wildlifestudios.com/game-tennis/

FWIW: Above link is to a tennis computer game.

#4Shame the quality is so low.

#5I randomly watched a few of these... and they just seem to be what I'd expect, a cue hits a ball or a ball hits a cushion.
Are there any that are particularly noteworthy or counterintuitive? Without context or guidance, I'm not sure what the value is supposed to be here... would love to understand what I'm missing!

#6Dr. Dave is awesome. If you like this, you might also like "Amateur Physics for the Amateur Pool Player" -- http://www.sfbilliards.com/Misc/Shepard_apapp.pdf

The author was a mechanical engineering professor who loves pool. These slow motion videos are more physics demonstrations than instructional.
Not many people know how to jump the cue ball legally, and even fewer know how to control the spin on a jump shot, so I thought these different jumps were interesting: https://billiards.colostate.edu/high-speed-video/hsv-7-23/ https://billiards.colostate.edu/high-speed-video/hsv-7-24/ https://billiards.colostate.edu/high-speed-video/hsv-7-25/

They appear to be good videos for seeing the real time physics at play. If you want to cue ball to not fall into the pocket on a direct shot then it needs to be spinning backwards from the direction you push it, for instance. That particular video showed the needed spin and actions at play well.
To really appreciate this content might need a little basics course on billiards. It’d probably be really useful for someone practicing a hobby and trying to get tactics practiced and analyzed.

#9Useful context from the subtitle:
> Super slow motion clips supports "The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards"
Down that rabbit hole a bit further:
https://drdavebilliards.com/videos/high-speed-video/
> The HSV DVD contains numerous narrated super-slow-motion video clips filmed with a special high-speed video camera.
I note a (c) 2007 on the DVD's label image on the website, which probably explains the video quality.
Given that there are at least ~25 other instructional DVDs included in various sets for sale, I get the impression that these videos are essentially online for free because they're not really useful without either having purchased the coursework or being enough of an expert that you don't need the coursework anyways. Still neat, though.

#10I took a quick look at a few of the videos. While they do provide insight into cue ball/target ball behavior, they don't seem to show how to achieve the shots in the first place.
Are there videos that also show how the cue hits the ball?
