I saw the sight right and realized the value. I think they have some accompanying instructional material. I need to make a more durable version. We recognize when things are in line even when we're not dead center, dropping down on this thing like I drop down on a shot is very illuminating. My...

She looks like the singer of some 80s band. Maybe not Missing Persons, but you get the idea.

This is similar to many things already said, but figure out your dominant eye/vision center. Figure out if you are center over the cue. Most of the time, like when driving a car, we are following/aligning with lines that we are not centered with so we may be less precise when so do need perfect...

Must be a woman professor.

Ah, the method for fastening the spurving bearings to the lunar wayneshaft

That one was a pretty clear multiple hit. I'm okay with that being called a foul. I've done similar where the ball ended up stuck under my shaft. No need to call the miscue, I didn't make legal contact. I think he just hit the ball poorly because he was stretched out. I do that a bit.

Was this also a jump miscue? The Sanjin call is the only one I have seen so if like to see when other refs make similar calls.

I've had some shots where I heard that click but the cue ball went on the proper path, or at least reasonably close to it. If I'm playing rotation, most miscues don't result in a legal shot so it's almost irrelevant, but in 8 ball I may make legal contact. The call on Sanjin was strange. I'm...

October seems to be a little early for a world championship. In a year round sport it seems like you'd make that the last tournament of the year, unless you had a schedule conflict with other events at the end of the year.

I wonder how often identical layouts happen later in the game. By some quick math, there are 23×10^12 possible layouts, but that was with each pawn having seven possible locations. Obviously, many pawns end up deadlocked and captured, ignoring the pawns leaves 2.4×10^20 but I didnt fully account...

King Arthur or Bob's Red Mill, you Philistine!

That's some quality problem solving!

Yeah, Mizerak played a beautiful game of pool. Has anyone mentioned Rafael Martinez yet? If I haven't mentioned him already, I think he's worth looking at. His stroke didn't have the same smooth fluidity as Mizerak but the first time I saw either of them on video, their strokes just looked...

The are 4000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire

Yes, he was truly gifted. Was the cloth really that slow back then? I haven't seen much footage of that era, but what I've watched didn't seem exceptionally slow. I'm sure the rarity of air conditioning and therefore higher humidity slowed the tables down, but seeing Willie's five rail shot...
