He pivots during the follow through. The tip catches up and strikes the cue ball a second time. It’s more of a double thud. He recoiled so quickly once that I had to double take and say something like”why are those other balls moving sideways?
Heck I don’t know.

Oscar vs Meglino

I'm not sure if it was fatigue, the difficulty of the table/equipment, humidity, or something else - but I caught an hour two of action starting when it was like 52-50 and the pace, shot selection, and overall quality of play was not great.

Speaking of 3-9 combos, this was one shot I simply could not understand. With ball in hand, Oscar opted for this off-angle 3-9 combo and missed it badly. I get that position to the 4 is a bit funny here, but man this feels like a table that a player of Oscar's quality should run out 90% of the time. He got fortunate and ended up leaving Meglino a little funny and ended up winning the rack but this was a slow slog to the finish line

“Slow slog to the finish line” describes most of Oscar’s matches, unless the viewer is lucky enough to see him getting blown out.

Back Hand English causing fouls? Are you sure you have your terms right?

I understand BHE to be application of side spin by lining up a shot center ball then, without moving the bridge hand, pivoting the cue moving the back hand a little left or right which addresses the CB for right or left spin, respectively.

I can’t imagine hitting the CB more than once using BHE unless the CB and OB are close to each other.

Do you mean that his stroke goes so sideways that he hits the CB more than once? You mention that a follow through went way far right and moved other balls.

Many rule sets are CB fouls only and moving other balls is not a foul. The opponent gets to determine where the misplaced balls are repositioned.

A push foul is when the CB is struck twice because the CB is close to the OB and the cue tip hits the CB, the CB hits the OB, then the cue tip hits the CB again. See your rule set for whether an OB frozen to (touching) an OB is considered a foul. Some rule sets don’t.

Dr. Dave’s video is very good on push fouls.

Yes and all that - Brutal “must watch” and definitely not incidental contact.

Probably means an arcing real time BHE. Which might can be grammatically included.

The way - I wanna say, "it's supposed to be done" but who knows. The way I do it is simply pivot to the desired stick angle and stroke that linearly.

How is BHE causing double hits, is he swiping the cue ball? I use BHE all the time and I don't suffer any double hits, BHE is really no different than parallel english as far as the stroke is concerned.

Yes - His cue stick literally swiped the cue ball. He called it BHE motion. The cue was clearly striking it a second time. I asked if he wanted some advice on some of his misses. I’d rather not get into his game, so I said that I’d call it next time. Fair warning?
