I think it's about the balance, and the mass behind the cue, I dont feel any "weight" feedback to my back hand... When I had a great break, I did not feel it, so it's hard for me to replicate the similar break... wood is more consistent to me I think it's soft and bouncey, more suitable to be...

I had the Infinity set (jump and break), and had the Cuetec set (breach and propel), consider the fact that they are in the same price range... did not own the Predator or Mezz set because of excessive price. I like the Infinity jump more than the Cuetec jump, but think the Cuetec break cue is...

I agree, but the mind of men works in tangled lol

I believe it came from snooker, when a scoop over an object ball is a foul, while a scoop not over an object ball is not a foul. Rules are translated differently, and people tends to understand them to their own will/exp/knowledge/prejudice... the fact that rules state a scoop is not a foul...

yes, it is true some players intended to play very slowly, if one player thinks his opponent is slow playing, he can request shot-clock and a dedicated ref, like Gorst did vs Antonakis... or if the Senior Refs think that one match is too slow, he may apply shot-clock it's case by case

JAM, the referee set up has been consistent for Hanoi Open for 3 years now: - TTV table: livestreamed, dedicated refs, shot clock... for the Hanoi Open 2023 and 2024, this TTV table is not used until the last 2 days... this year, because of the 1 day delay due to heavy rain and flood, they used...

Yes true, Rasson dealer in Vietnam were stuck before Hanoi Open 2023, after that the tables sold like hot cake for a year... but they gave nothing back to the pool community or movement Moritz is a player full of positive vibes, he would accept any condition about the refs, if I were to...

for Hanoi Open, it's been the practicr from the first year - refs rack only - refs clean cue ball only by their gloves after each rack - after the day they only use gloves or clean towel to clean the set of balls I dont believe J Chua did the wax last year, evident showed om that match...

I believe Marcel relied on over-the-top camera angle, even used the slow-mo from that, and in a slomo replay it showed to hit the 4 first, but that was wrong 1. over the top camera is not a slomo camera, it only reach 60fps max, even lower... while slomo camera should be 240fps or even more...

I agree, but we have seen Marcel made similarly bad calls

new 2025 WPA rules, simultaneous hit is deemed good hit and per new WNT rules, which based on WPA rules, benefit of the doubt goes to the shooter when it is so close to call I read these set of rules last week

I believe the ref could not tell, so they treated it as if the cue ball hit both the 4 and 9 at the same time, or gave the shooter benefit of the doubt

feel bad for Max Lechner, he has been playing so well in this tournament I messaged the ref right away, he was the one who called foul on Shaw at Peri Open last week, he said he was not sure, and he paused the match and consulted ref Marcel, after reviewing a few times, Marcel said it's good...

it's nice to meet @Rocket354 at the venue
