Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

Yapp knew it was a foul. So for me, he is just a piece of shit.
Not a way to win WC.
FWIW, I've met and played against Aloysius. He's always been nothing short of a gentleman and class act. I'll always give someone (especially someone like Aloysius) the benefit of the doubt in that situation. He was definitely waiting for the ref's call, but I'm confident that he wasn't sure if he had fouled or not.

I agree 100%. Any pool player who watches the entire video and still thinks the shot could have been good needs to learn a little more about fouls and how to judge them.
They don't understand pool or billiards at all, let them come close to the balls & squint their eyes into the two object balls to determine fouls, even more funnier let them play slow-mo of the shots to see which ball moved first which is hilarious.

I laugh so hard whenever I see live-match where a referee come very close to balls and squint at them to determine fouls, they are so funny when they do this plus it also shows me that they got zero knowledge about pool. I can literally sit a mile away and look at the balls & cue-ball to tell you if its good hit or bad hit, I dont need to squint or come close to the balls, thats just too dumb when refs do this, sorry.

Bob Jewett posted awhile back about using a DAMP rag to wipe down your cloth and I've been doing it for a couple of months, some of the best advice I've ever had for cleaning my table, I do the cushions and the the bed of the table, just try it once for yourself, you'll see.....
Been using damp micro fiber colths for maybe 30 or 35 years.
Maybe micro fiber cloths weren't invented that long ago. We used terry cloth then.

On my table I vacuum first, then come back with the slightly damp cloth, if in the mood for the extra work. Like how long ago did I wipe this table?
Yesterday? No need. Last week? Ya maybe should.

IMO, going stricktly to damp cloths doesn't get the job done properly.
Take off the majority with a vacuum then go after some of the rest with the cloth.

What pool halls don't get (if they even care) is that a clean table gives them much better cloth life, and ball life.

Problem seems to be, not many rooms give a s%#h about how their tables play.
