Now I had a device that made a laser light line over and in front of a pool ball. (see Figure Laser-1 below). The laser is behind the Cueball at the top right of the picture, shining down the table to the mirror at the bottom of the picture, then reflecting back up the table to the 9 ball by the pocket at the top left of the picture. (Note that the laser line starts just past the Cueball's shadow.) For this picture I changed the mirror angle slightly to put a bigger 'red dot' on the 9 ball so it would show up better. How is this done? See the next section on the Mirror.)
