Come on, the window is just there for the reflection. As it is well
seen by the reflections, the window is not vertical but is facing the
balls - to give those familiar reflections. The lighting itself comes
from a 20x20 area light :)

If you can work out the maths, I'd gladly have the thing animated even
if it takes a month to render. Be sure to include angular momentum in
the calculations, because I *always* take the first shot with a
bottom-left english, starting 10 inches to the right of the cue
position and aiming slightly to the right of the center of the 1 ball,
so that the cue ball goes in the far right corner pocket. There's the
deal - I provide the imagery, you provide the maths, and we get rich
and famous and go to Hamburg, this time not missing the Repperbahn :)
