Oops I did it again (Yapp's) foul in a final, a second time!

If you look at the two paths of the cue ball in the Sharivari video for separate (non-overlapping) contacts, the paths are quite far apart. The path in the stream video was very close to one of those paths. It is possible that there was overlapping contact, but that is still hitting one ball first, and I think for this shot, the first ball is obvious from the path of the cue ball.

I think that if high speed video had been available -- 10 or 20 frames during each ball-ball contact, so 10,000 FPS -- it would have been very clear which ball was struck first, even with overlap. No tournament has such equipment.

Years ago I paid like $35.00 for a tape and a bunch of hand written notes for something I think was called the Jacksonville project.
. Did I get that from you or Fells or was it someone else.
It was high speed filming of pool shots.

POOL BALL PHOTOGRAPHY.

Alas, the spirit is willing but I’m rather poor when it comes to capturing decent photographs of my pool ball collection. My pal, K2Kraze, has the knack of staging and lighting everything beautifully, as evidenced by his Raschig Ring images shown here.

How about you, ladies and gentlemen? I hereby propose a friendly challenge to post your most creative, interesting and beautiful pool ball photographs.

Why is the APA so frowned upon?

I play on a team occasionally. Basically, I'm the alternate is someone can't make it. The idea of talking for others about what shot I should take is foreign to me. I kind of let them know the best chance they have of me winning is if they leave me alone. I'm not so good a team pool.

Some of the worst advice I've ever seen for a pool shot was by a team captain during a time-out. Absolutely clueless. The notion that the typical league player is going to learn anything useful during actual matches from their fellow players is questionable at best.
