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--.

If the OB and CB were a centimeter apart and the shooter shoots directly through the line connecting the centers of balls with a level cue, and the CB immediately goes forward at 10mph after impact, you don’t think that’s enough evidence to rule a double hit?

Much easier to observe the CB path than to actually observe the cue hitting the CB twice. Nothing “strange” about it.

Is there a women’s tournament at SBE? I couldn’t find a bracket.

No.. hasn’t been for a few years . It’s hit or miss with that. Women are playing in the pro even though.

SIT = Spin-induced throw, which means the fact that the OB throws a bit to the side if the ball hitting it (CB in this case) is spinning sideways.

Gotta love it. A faceless hustler in the internet age. Who would have believed it! Made my day.

Baseball. The field.
Tennis. The court
Have you considered it might be your level or your skill. Are you a professional player?
An instructor once said to me blame the equipment not yourself… trust me that does not work. Please post a video of your best games.

He won’t respond to logical questions about is ability. Why he focuses so much on table runs outs is boggling. He should be doing drills

There are only 72 players in the whole world who can play pool at a 800 or higher Fargo. I'm guessing there are thousands of players worldwide who are world-class/elite in golf. I may be wrong though, I don't really keep up with pro golf.

I don't Golf . I once heard a top Pro comparing the 2 and said ,Yes Straight Pool is Easy Try Running 300. I agree with previous post Apples and Oranges

Delighted to see Elliot Sanderson doing so well. Think he's been putting a lot of work in after being disappointed in his performances in first few tournaments of the year and it's really paid off

That would be SIT and plain misaligned strokes.

I play both, and have done so for the better part of my life. Regarding difficulty, it’s like anything I guess, you do it enough and it isn’t really difficult after a point. I will offer this though, a 4 1/2’ x 9’ GC, or Diamond tables are mostly the same everywhere, other than pocket size refinements. Golf Courses are all different, and I think that’s for a good reason. If all Golf Courses were exactly the same, there’d be a LOT more scratch golfers. Given this factor, I’d say pool and billiards is the tougher game. YMMV.

This was from 16 years ago and I don’t feel this way anymore now that I’ve played years in this and many leagues.

Being a player of both they share a lot of similarities . I do think the fundamentals of swinging a golf club with the changes that have to made for many different shots and the mechanics are more difficult.

4 9footers and a box with no balls

really? What in the hell. There has to be a reason like the local authority came down on him for gambling. I have no problem with it because imo it’s horrible for the game but there has to be a reason. It’s no like Allen is against gambling lol

Yeah was there yesterday. 5 9footers and a box. Got on the 20 dollar 9 footer. Had to wait about half hour. Won 3 racks then lost the 4th. Signed back up but there was at least 12 people ahead of me at that point.

They need more tables. Like 15 would be perfect, hell even 10 or 12 is better then 5.

Hopefully this is someting that gets corrected for future events.

They used to .. for the entire time I’ve been going to the expo which is a couple decades. I have no idea what the sudden change it.
