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

Jimmorrison
Not a foul, because incompetent ref didn’t call it. Definitely a bad hit. For those referring to the tangent line, the original doesn’t exist, in relation to the eight ball. It is altered by the bad hit. There have been many recent threads about this exact thing, and so many people on the wrong side of it. This just reconfirms my policy of never allowing my opponent to call a foul. If there is no ref, I call it on myself. If my opponent wants to call a foul, he has to have video, that is conclusive.

Brunswick cues? Dufferin?

Hail Mary Shot
my first cue was a low-end, plastic wrapped decal dufferin. not the best but it was the only one that I was able to afford considering I wasn't paid much back then. it was more of a broom stick to be honest and shoot's meh. it was back when deflection wasn't really much of a conversation back then and LD wood shafts were just coming out. so far, the newer Dufferins I have seen are far-fetched from the ones back in the day.

I'll be clearer. I've seen just as many slow mo videos as anyone else. There is at least one video that it isn't clear at all if the 4-ball was hit first, and it looks like the 8-ball may have been hit first in that video. We literally cannot see the contact point since it's on the other side of the 8-ball. This is why refereess are trained at looking at the cueball path. Unless someone can give me a better analysis on where physics say the cueball would go on a bad hit vs good hit, the cueball path tells me the 4-ball was hit last as it followed the 4-ball tangent and not the 8-ball tangent.

Ima have to set this up and hit it now. thanks lol.

As for explanation...

The CB goes (Yapp's) left of the 8's path. That's not possible unless it's 8 last.
