Lunch time...

Dredging this thread back up after 20 years - have any updates been made to the rules since then or is this still a grey area?

Asking because it happened during a match yesterday. Both of us are seasoned players and we also had a touring pro, Boris Ivanovski, around us but we didn't really come up with a conclusion other than that it's a grey area. We were going to ask John Leyman his opinion next time we saw him, but I figured I'd ask AzB first.

Screenshot 1 - this was basically the situation in our match (other balls not shown for simplicity). My opponent purposefully pushed through the 7 to break up the dead combo. Legality here seems like a grey area.

Screenshot 2 - what if he pushed through the 7/8 cluster here? That oddly seems less legal.

Screenshot 3 - what if he pushes through with a super long follow through? Or intentionally miscues and scoop jumps over the cluster? Seems definitely not legal.

Screenshot 4 - what if he taps the cueball to reposition it and hits it again while it's moving to break up the cluster? Not legal without doubt.

Yup. I hope to be able to order just the weight bolts that accept extensions without having to also order the actual extension(s).

I will monitor Seybert’s site to see if that becomes an ordering option.

I’ve known Mark and Connie Stellinga for almost 30 years. Good, straight shooters.

When serving my Apprenticeship at the White Spot Wednesday night tournaments, I could notice the players that had all the skills but folded up under pressure.
My program called for balance between practice and competition.
The pressure is all self generated so keeping my mind right like Cool Hand Luke does earn the Smooth stroke.

Win or lose, her style of play makes pool much more enjoyable to watch.

Jasmin vs Chezka is a rematch of the final last year.
