Fedor vs SVB score

Here is a clip that includes the sequence. The shot in question is three minutes in.

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.

Fedor thought so, too, and was looking at the crowd for support then asked Shane who said it was a good hit. Fedor was very visibly not convinced, rightfully so. Glad he took that rack.

It might not all be obvious from that video, but no more doubts here (or from anyone I'd talked to who was also there). No way Shane didn't know. Too bad.
 
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.
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.
 
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;) ;) ;)

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.

It probably came down and hit his cue again. The sound was not ball-on-table, guaranteed.

It might have been a bit of a mishit from what I saw.
 
If it came down and hit his cue again the cue ball would have went forward.
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.
 
Now I'm having second thoughts. The CB speed/travel distance looks right, except Shane was playing for it behind the 7. That's a pretty big mis-judgment if it was a good hit.

On the other hand, I still can't see how the CB took that path if it was a double hit. The CB would have had to have been going sideways a complete ball diameter, and THEN the double hit occur. So that the second hit would have hit the CB on its far edge, and not changed its sideways path direction, but instead, only add some speed to it.

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.
