John Morra vs Lechner started an hour and a half ago and they're still at 5-5. Two super slow players [emoji58]

In more exciting news, FSR beat Billy 10-7.

Oscar vs Tyler battling it out 4-4, that match might be over at midnight.

you cant go by what an object ball does or direction of a ball. as then a ref may take it upon himself to make all kinds of strange calls.

how would like a ref make a call like, -- it had to be a push or double hit as on this table its impossible for you to have followed the shot that far with your stroke--.

I hate to break it to you, but what the OB or CB does is the best way to judge a number of things. Double hits when the CB is close to the OB (as Marcel correctly did on a double hit by Sky at a WNT event). Which ball was hit first (like in the Yapp situation).

It is the most reliable way to judge these things, at least absent super slow motion video (which isn’t available in any normal environment). I would like ref’s to make the call correctly, and not just say “I couldn’t clearly SEE the double hit or the wrong ball hit so it’s good”.

i couldn't tell who was who from the video. and it looked like they had the scores for the wrong side posted. and it was a close match.
i did not have audio for mine.

i thought lill john was the smaller black guy, later thought the other. but he wasnt little. neither played anything over short stop speed for what i saw.

as far as i know that is not mcdaniel logo. i think it is a phillipine made copy

The cue in question is definitely not a copy. It was a well known maker, we just can’t remember who it was.

25$ and 40$ for two apparently I’d sell you HC for $10 + shipping

Constantly dumbfounded by the new colour, new shape, new ‘tech’ people lap up in this game

20 dollar a game at the expo on tables.? that kind of small bets ruin the gambling aspect. take those bets to the local bar or pool room.

instead of hogging tables.

the ref should keep his mouth shut until the opponent which should have the right to stand up and say.
"hey watch this as it cant go and you will see this happen."

if he chose to be quiet then any close call like that goes to the ref or is considered good unless obvious.
of course if video is allowed to enter into it then do so.

Who were the two players that had the 40k game on the action table?

easy to answer, both are easy and simple to learn. and i have made plenty at both and can't play any other sports worth a shit.

in only a few sports does the ball just sit there and not move and you walk up and take your time, wiggle around and hit it.
that's pool and golf, and maybe add croquet. and any fool can play and hit a sitting duck.

take tennis, baseball, ping pong, all sorts of sports the ball is flying fast at you and you have just a few or less seconds to be on it.

Well one has to think why people miss on a straight-in shot while perfectly hitting the object ball.

That would be SIT and plain misaligned strokes.

I've never heard of JT either. Lil jon has been known forever

He's one of those guys who could "be in town for a few days visiting family" and a lot of players, good players wouldn't have to like the action. He makes it to Indiana, but does most of his playing around Railbirds.

straightline said:

In trying to picture the mechanics of a thin cut, I see that in passing the object ball, the cue ball bites in and starts its own friction and gearing effect. Because of this hold zone the cue ball may actually put that 5 degree spread on the original cut - before nonchalantly rolling away.

I have the green and it is painful to clean. Makes me want to use the typical master chalk.
