It's pretty simple:

1) Spray face of Billiards table with a pressure sensitive paint.

No pressure and the paint stays green. Apply pressure and the paint changes yellow for a moment or two.

2) Play pool, and admire the cool lines that trace your shot, and liven up the table.

Though I think the weight of the balls won't be enough... [theleopard, Sep 09 2008]

You might do it with the video of the shot.

Aim a video camera at the table. Process the video signal by computer to add trails behind the balls as described.

Each ball could be programmed to have its own coloured trail.
