There are no vectors used in playing billiards or pool. The use of vectors oversimplifies the action of the balls in play and simply does not apply to the game. The physics of cue ball action relies more on rotational momentum than simple vectors, and ball to rail interaction is a complex mathematical problem that cannot be determined by simple vectors.
