It’s about 35 minutes in.

I think the ref started the whole problem. I think he forgot Jasmin was solids, which is why he called her good kick on the 1b a foul. He might have even said something like “foul, hit the one ball”, but even if not it just calling it a foul probably confused the players.

Either way, yeah very bizarre.

I disagree with the ref's call that it was a foul. After viewing a few times at half speed, Jasmin's shot on the one appeared to hit the remaining solid and stripe balls simultaneously. But the ref's call was the ref's call. That's part of the game. Sometimes the call is very close and the human ref does the best they can.

Jasmin called foul on herself so no debate there

Premium Chalks – Are They Worth It?

FYI, I just posted a new video that objectively tests the most popular new “premium” chalks to see how they compare to traditional Master chalk. The chalks tested are the medium hardness Predator Pure, Kamui Roku 6, and Taom V10. They are tested for miscue limit, persistence on the tip, persistence on the CB, and cling/skid/kick. Check it out:


Contents:
0:00 - Intro
0:49 - Miscue Limit
3:22 - # of Shots Before Miscue
5:17 - Chalk Mark Persistence
---- 5:38 – cling definition and demonstrations
---- 6:19 – FSR and SVB cling examples
---- 7:07 – chalk tests
8:42 - Cling/Skid/Kick
10:56 - Wrap Up

As always, I look forward to your feedback, comments, questions, complaints, and requests.

Enjoy!

I noticed the 12 ball shot SVB missed...
Also noticed that the cue ball hit the 12 ball in the purple stripe area.
One thing I ALWAYS consider is this on slower speed shots.
The darker balls are more porous and contact at a slow speed cause the contact point on the obj. ball to grab and apply rotation.
Because of this.... I am always aware of the play conditions and make sure

Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

Hail Mary Shot said:
sounds like the demand for custom cues is for people that are experiencing a midlife crisis.

Maybe so on the midlife crisis , but on the other hand older folks may also have the expendable cash to be able to afford a custom cue , extra shafts and a case that the younger folks don't have yet . As they're trying to buy a car , house and have a family ? So their extra money goes towards those expenses .

Don't forget the medical bills that can suddenly appear out of no where !
