He shows an actual push with the two frozen balls, but I think he should have first shown a push with a single cue ball to teach people...

Has he published the video yet?

@Bob Jewett was right, of course:) I went to the pool hall tonight but I was too lazy to set up the camera:( I set up the balls both...

This is just wrong IMO. Shooting into a frozen ball with this stroke can’t produce a double hit. Look at the short video from Dr Dave...

This is a great clip of why it’s not a double hit but it doesn’t show the difference between a legal shot into a frozen ball and an...

I like sharing this 22 second clip to illustrate why it’s not a push...

That's what the rules do in many cases. They define things. In this case they define that shot as legal. That's all there is to it.

I think Pongers knows the rule and that the balls were frozen. I imagine that the ref was surprised by a shot he had never seen before...

I think after reading a bunch of fb posts on this that there are 2 main arguments: The first is if they were frozen or not. NO ONE here...

It defines it as legal because it specifically says it is legal. You can’t define it as legal any more clearly. Rule 3.8 can’t make...

You have it half right, in my opinion. In the first half of rule 3.7, where the balls are close but not touching, then if you shoot...

Yeah, weird that he is pointing to 3.8 push shot and not 3.7 double hit. Push shot is a deliberate slow stroke where the tip stays on...

I guess the only other explanation is the Ref has not reffed American pool before, and in Blackball or Snooker you can't shoot into a...

Assuming the balls were frozen there was absolutely nothing wrong with that shot!

The wording is slightly awkward. You are required to contact an object ball on the shot. Normally, that is when the cue ball comes into...
