All this talk of rules, I'm still a bit confused how so many people and refs still don't understand double hit fouls, no one called this out, the ref, commentators, only 1 person on chat even mentioned it, and its clearly a double hit foul by Oscar (starts at 55:15) Login to view embedded media When the replay shows the overhead its even more obvious, you can clearly see the tangent line is between the 13 and the side pocket. And for those who may think its frozen, its a foul in UPL to hit into a frozen ball. This stuff is pretty basic physics, and you'd think common knowledge, but we keep having these obvious double hits right in front of refs not get called out, and to make it worse when you have a ref who does know what he's doing, like when Marcel called a similar foul on Sky a year or 2 ago, you have people like CJ making videos about how it wasn't a foul because his cue was elevated and the cue ball spun back (after going forward)....

Wow, close match in the 10 ball!

I like simple.

My 2001 Rick Howard is fairly old school as am I. Ebony butt sleeve w/ ivory Hoppe ring,
white/green spec wrap, ebony pts w/ 4 veneers, full ivory joint, 3/8x10.
NO INLAYS anywhere, only 4 veneers which enhance the cue.
2 shafts ~ 1 ivory ferrule/Le Pro & 1 Westinghouse micarta ferrule/Chandivert Champion.
I have 3 more Champions tips which I had forgotten about until recently.

istinct, thick forward flare (bottle-nose taper) on the forearm that is synonymous with South West. Points and Veneers: They feature the traditional South West style 6-point layout (often 3 high, 3 low) with razor-sharp colored veneer miters. Ring Work: They replicate the Southwestern theme decorative ring blocks and accent bands. The Aesthetic Difference: While a South West cue focuses heavily on a raw, satin-finished "player" vibe, Thomas Wayne is an American Cuemakers Hall of Fame master known for flawless, glass-like high-gloss finishes and microscopically tight tolerances. Side-by-side, the Northwest cue often looks slightly more "refined" or cleanly finished than a standard South West.

Every SW I've seen has top-notch gloss finish. I realize there are satin finished cues, but they aren't, 'raw'.

Tony pulled it off with a clutch runout to close out the final game!
The action continues tomorrow with One Pocket, starting at 4:00 PM Central.

Does TW still make cues? I never knew anyone who owned one, but he let me play with a few at the BCA show. If I remember right they had interchangeable shafts.

Why not English 8 ball in the future? Seems a little embarrassing if we insist on only matching up with our rules and equipment.

They can do whatever they want, I’m just stating what I’d like to see- American 8 ball rules with a shot clock on tables with 4 inch pockets
