[ODE] Better understanding about simulating surfaces

[Megan Fox]

Make sure your step size is small (at most 0.01) to reduce bounciness.
 Given the speeds at which your pool balls are likely travelling, I'd
probably try and even smaller step size than that... shouldn't matter
terribly much if all you're simulating is the pool table + balls.
