Here is a clip that includes the sequence. The shot in question is three minutes in.Was that a double hit on SVB at 119-115? Gorst later won the rack so it didn’t matter.
Doesn't the movement of the cue ball tell us that it wasn't a double hit???Here is a clip that includes the sequence. The shot in question is three minutes in.
I could not agree more!!!!!one of the best posts ever
Good point, just what I was thinking. Plus, it didn`t look like Gorst said anything,Doesn't the movement of the cue ball tell us that it wasn't a double hit???
According to the commentators, he asked if it was a good hit.Good point, just what I was thinking. Plus, it didn`t look like Gorst said anything,
I am now convinced that was a double hit. There was a clear double-click sound on the hit. I was right there. I could not tell if the 7 moved or not and figured that might have been the cause of the double-hit sound--if the 1 or cb hit it as well. But seeing the replay the 7 didn't get touched at all. Double-hit.Here is a clip that includes the sequence. The shot in question is three minutes in.
Chemical's aren't always in play, I can play through the night and even at 60 I can play for 30+ hours. Some of us are just physiologically geared to go without sleep without chemical support. When I was in my 30/40s I could easily go 48+ hours. I have never done an illegal drug or taken a stimulant beyond caffeine in my life.Unfortunately bar/gambling culture wins out in these matches. Normal people aren't up until 3am to 5am on every night on the weekend. In 90% of these it appears to me that they end up being decided by chemical warfare, may the best cheater win.
I'm similar although not yet in my 60s and have had people think I was on drugs at times because I can get pretty hyped up. It's amusing to me because I barely drink alcohol.Chemical's aren't always in play, I can play through the night and even at 60 I can play for 30+ hours.

It probably came down and hit his cue again. The sound was not ball-on-table, guaranteed.GOOD HIT!!!
CB stays exactly on the tangent line. Never goes forward. The double hit sound, IMO, was caused by CB hop. The extra sound was the CB landing back onto the table. This analysis is after reviewing the video at full speed. If it was double hit, the CB would never have gone where it did.
If you go frame by frame on YouTube "<" and ">" keys, you can see the CB is airborne.
To Bob: edit that clip down to 10 seconds. No one has time for 3 min of Shane deciding what to shoot![]()

If it hit the stick twice, the CB would not have kept going to the side. It would have gone more in the forward direction. IMO.It probably came down and hit his cue again. The sound was not ball-on-table, guaranteed.
No, he hit the 1 nearly head on. The fact the cue ball moved as far as it did past the 7 suggests it was a double hit.Doesn't the movement of the cue ball tell us that it wasn't a double hit???
Gorst was thinking nothing else but double-hit, and even asked Shane about it.Good point, just what I was thinking. Plus, it didn`t look like Gorst said anything,

Depends where his cue was...he was getting it out of the way. And that's if that was the cause of the sound.If it came down and hit his cue again the cue ball would have went forward.
By the sound I agree completely it sounds like a double hit. What I'm not sure of is if the CB landing on the table after a hop makes the same sound. I honestly don't know/remember.Depends where his cue was...he was getting it out of the way. And that's if that was the cause of the sound.
Pool players know the sound of a double hit. Every player there and even the commentators thought it was a double hit.
Except, apparently, Shane.
I warned how far in it was. Feel free to take a clip of the clip....
