No. There are almost no opportunities for the average person to have the cue contact the cue ball on the horizontal in a game of pocket billiards or pool. In nearly all shots, the butt of the cue must be raised slightly. And for most shots, cue ball control becomes an important part of the shot, requiring that contact be made off center as well, very often below or above center and not horizontally.

How do you legally jump the cue ball?
There are two kinds of cue ball jumps, one immediately after the cue strikes the cue ball and one where the cue ball jumps after contact with another object. A legal stroke to jump a cue ball immediately must strike the cue ball above center - this drives the cue ball into the table surface from which it rebounds. Strking the cue ball below center to lift the ball intentionally is called a scoop shot and is a foul. A cue ball can be made to jump after hitting a rail by using extreme draw or follow.

How can you effectively jump a pool ball to make a difficult shot?
To effectively jump a pool ball for a difficult shot, you need to use a special cue stick called a jump cue. Position the cue ball close to the object ball, angle the jump cue at a 45-degree angle, and strike the cue ball just below its center with a quick and controlled stroke. This will make the cue ball jump over obstacles and hit the object ball for a successful shot. Practice and precision are key to mastering this technique.
If an action force is a cue ball hitting a billiard ball then what is the reaction force?
The reaction force is the object ball moving away after being struck. The cue ball may or may not come away with any energy, but it usually retains a bit. There is a "science" to where to strike the cue ball with the cue to achieve "position" in the game. You already know the zillion different things that a good player can do (must do!) with the cue ball to win a rack, though. The basic answer is that the kinetic energy of the cue ball will be transferred to the object ball in an largely inelastic collision. The object ball will then carry the energy away after the momentum of the cue ball is passed on to it. This is the case for a "straight shot" on the table with no English on the cue ball.
