I hang out on the azbilliards pool form, also posting as JohnnyP:

Check out Virtual Pool 4. They say the equations behind it make the balls behave realistically.

I see they now have a version for Macs, so I will have to get it:

They are offering VP3 for only $9.95, and they have a free version:

Dr. Dave Alcatore is a Physics Prof in Colorado, and a pool nut. He has hundreds of videos, many in slow motion, showing how the balls react, how spin effects things, etc.

He charges, but he also has 3 minute excerpts on youtube, like this:

Here is ole’ JohnnyP ten years (and 50 pounds) practicing. It was Christmas Eve, so you know I was hooked on pool:

I accidentally deleted my youtube channel and lost a lot of videos, including this one, but someone had already grabbed it and reposted it.
