Best Answer

The speed at which the cue ball is travelling and the moment behind it and also the shape of the balls causes it to richochet off the ball. If it was two cubes connecting, the force behind the propelled cube would be transfered mostly into the other cube. Since these are spherical objects, the force is not entirely transfered.
