Taping the cue ball with your cue tip is a legal stroke as far as I know

No mention of Oscar? His first place finish in Ultimate Pool last night was amazing, down to the last second. Tons of pressure with the short shot clock, he kept his cool. Hopefully the rape van joke, as distasteful as that was, is forgotten and isn't preventing him from getting an opportunity...

I really think he's the best option.

Why not just tap it? But good question.

Just tap may not work, unless you mean use a legal stroke.

As explained in the applied ruling section:

“It is common for a player to want to end their inning without disturbing the lay of the
table. However, the only way to end your inning without violating Rule 1-40-b is to
attempt a legal stroke. Any other action, including refusing to shoot, is a violation of
Rule 1-40-b.”

In most cases you can get the same result by just shooting away from the balls, but I can think of instances where the CB is trapped and trying any legal stroke will open up the balls. I understand why the CSI rules call for a warning in first instance but in some cases I think the right result would be a loss of game without warning.

...data from those first detection units have been used to test one of the founding rules of Einstein’s relativity: the idea that the laws of nature look the same no matter which way you face or how fast you move.

Don't quite get it but it'll fit somewhere.

Nothing would make me happier than to see you reunite with your old cue!!!

This would be epic, highly unlikely, but.... weirder things have happened. Any pics by t, it had a plain white butt collar with a cursive "f" on the butt, and a plain black ring at the joint 3/8 10 pin. with Bacote.

Wouldn't that be something! No pics. it had a plain white butt collar with a cursive "f" on the butt, and a plain black ring at the joint 3/8 10 pin. with Bacote.

What I learnt is that I can’t read or listen!! I skipped through the description and the video and found it ridiculously easy (Fargo 560)
Now I have just seen the one pocket stipulation. I’ll try again!

Too ambiguous maybe.

Cool story bro
