looks like a local balkan ref. they mainly play am. pool there. icbw

but it cannot not have been frozen. pongers is experienced enough to not do something like that

I guess the only other explanation is the Ref has not reffed American pool before, and in Blackball or Snooker you can't shoot into a declared frozen ball, and he was thinking of those.

This clip is all over fb.

The ref didn’t declare them frozen. (Unless it was earlier before the clip started).

There is no way in a million years those balls were frozen! You can tell by the sound and the reaction of both balls that there was a gap. When they are frozen, they separate and go at slightly different speeds even if follow is used, and the sound is pure like hitting a normal CB.

Karl for sure knows the American Pool frozen ball rule. He played pro American style pool for 15 years.

I think he just had a brain fart at the very end when he mentioned snooker and shooting away from a declared frozen ball….. Because he couldn’t believe what he just saw!

That is the most blatant foul I’ve ever seen in pro pool. The last time I’ve seen that foul was 20 years ago at the local Tuesday night handicap tournament by a complete banger.
