Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

Only the willfully obtuse are still claiming good hit. Worse than them, are the ones condemning Yapp. It’s a professional match, with a full time professional referee. You don’t call fouls on yourself, under those circumstances.

All of these things are true:

- According to people here who's opinion I trust Yapp is a good guy
- He is a phenomenal pool player
- It was a foul
- He has now been involved in two fouls in the last game of championship matches, one of which would have very likely changed the outcome
- There is no excuse for the referees to get this wrong any more except for the largely "oh well" attitude from us, the viewers

Better Act Fast……Public Service Announcement

I got them in the mail and just finished weighing and measuring them.

Weight ranged from 166.8 grams to 168.3 grams.

Diameter ranged from 2.244 to 2.25 inches.

A friend of mine has a set of Centennials, so I went over and weighed and measured them and they were were within the same weight and diameter range.

If anyone thinks the weights or diameters are off, I would appreciate it if you would let me know.
