I do play 3 cushion. Not well. As I said above, in the small tournaments I have played, most players would alert their opponent if they noticed. They might not notice. I know your accomplishments, but you should not use those accomplishments to support the logical fallacy of an appeal to authority. That is what you are doing in your post. I may be wrong. That’s why I asked. But I found, read, and cited the translation of the rule that appears on the UMB website. What you say does not seem to be what the rule says

That could mean several things. The rule could be poorly drafted and the UMB procedure and ref training is different from what the rule says. It could mean the translation from French to English is poor. It could be other rules address the situation. It could mean your experience varied from what the rule is. Or it could mean you are incorrect. Seeing an example from international play with a ref involved might help. If you know of them, tell me/ us. I’m not trying to be difficult, I ASKED. And your response is not an actual answer, it is a classic logical fallacy.

Smaller Pockets Don’t Always Play Smaller … Dr. Dave Evaluates His New Rails and Pockets

B
Nice video. I like the look of the table with the new rails. As a fan of professional pool, one thing I really don't like about the more parallel facings, is how there seems to be more balls hung up in the pocket than back when Gold Crowns were the standard. This makes the penalty for a miss even more severe. The incoming player shoots at a lot of hung balls in today's game. Is that a good thing? It keeps the game moving, but removes a bit of variety.

I wonder if buying new custom rails will become more of a thing. They really are the most important part of the table. I would consider some for mine.

Am I crazy, or do I correctly recall AZ's Neil (RIP), somehow extending the slate shelves on his table? That would be an interesting project to change the TDF of a table. Interesting for someone else that is.

Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

I am not knowing the answer to your question. However you bring up something I’ve wondered about myself:

Deflection isn’t just squirt. It is the sum total of squirt and swerve.

I have a hard time judging swerve.
I have a better feel for squirt.

For example, O.B. 1/2 ball off long rail with C.B. a little steeper than a half ball hit. If I want to bring C.B. across table to opposite long rail I might aim a little thicker than if I want to double the rail across.

I don’t think that I’m accounting for swerve just the initial squirt. If I get the feel for those shots with my cue, why would I want to change to something else that might be negligibly different.

Good wood is gonna keep getting harder and harder to find.

That is the real reason for CF and shafts that are laminated with maple and trash.

I've played 3C for over 60 at a Top level, I've played in several International/World events!

Other than in Local tournaments I've never seen an 'Official Ref' call the foul on the shooting player in this Exact example!

BTW, do You play 3C?

best cue tip tool

I was pushing too hard when I cut into the ferrule but even when applying little pressure I could see whitening of the ferrule in spots where tip and ferrule meet, that can only be caused by the blade grazing the ferrule.Think about it, how can the tool perfectly differentiate between ferrule and tip..?All these tools are based on a pencil sharpener principle.

Again, the tool is very good and you can replace a tip quickly with it, but as far as Longoni saying that it cant cut into the ferrule is nonsense and if you want something to guarantee not touching the ferrule, that tool is not the one nor is anything else that uses the pencil sharpener approach.

Was it adjusted properly. If so it can be set to not touch the ferrule. If you are not familiar with what I’m saying that explains why it did not work out.
