read OP rules link again:

Under the current rules (see WPA WSR 6.16c), a miscue is a foul only if it is intentional.

i have no doubt that marcel is right that cue hit cb multiple times, it was technically a foul, but an intention provision should overrule that

Here's the other pertinent rule:

2.11  MISCUE
A miscue occurs when the cue tip slides off the cue-ball possibly due to a contact that is too eccentric or due to insufficient chalk on the tip. It is usually accompanied by a sharp sound and evidenced by a discoloration of the tip. Although some miscues involve contact of the side of the cue-stick with the cue-ball, unless such contact is clearly visible, it is assumed not to have occurred. A scoop shot, in which the cue tip contacts the playing surface and the cue-ball at the same time, and this causes the cue-ball to rise off the cloth, is treated like a miscue. If an unintentional miscue causes the cue-ball to leave the playing surface, including partially or fully jumping over a ball, it is treated like a legal jump shot. Note that intentional miscues are covered by 3.16 Unsportsmanlike Conduct (c).

If it did hit the shaft and it was only obvious by video, is it a foul?

Click to expand...

Yes, assuming the video is reviewed.

Renderu said:

Should video review be allowed for miscues?

Click to expand...

... only if the ref thinks there is a strong reason to do so.

Renderu said:

With technology, if this is allowed then all miscues will soon be fouls.

Click to expand...

Nope, unless the rules are changed and super-slow-motion filming of every shot with expensive high-speed-video cameras becomes common-place. I don't see that happening anytime soon. The frame rate of regular video cameras is not fast enough to catch possible secondary contact with during typical miscue and scoop shots.

If you aren't feeling anything I'd be more concerned about that than if I was feeling nervous. Nerves don't really matter it's any remotely negative thoughts about a specific shot/pattern/breakout. If you have any doubts stand up and start all over to eliminate any negative thoughts or it could be a gut feeling telling you to reset.

good player but it's gonna take years re-build integrity and trust, especially living in the internet age

If I am not mistaken, Amoroto was the next big Filipino phenom M was promoting while Manas was still in diapers.
Now M is belatedly promoting arguably the most famous pool player on social media 16 year old JB. Not as talented as AJ in pool but a natural entertainer, charismatic not boring like Manas

was ameer ali in the final last year?

What a great match and video. Thanks Bob.

Question: I grew up in St. Louis on the Mississippi and the table behind the match table looks like a Mississippi River barge! Any ideas of the brand? Thanks.
