    If you foul, but your opponent doesn't see it, should you call it on yourself?

    I think you're seeing this the wrong way. What if you just slightly touch an object ball in a way your opponent couldn't notice it? You still will not call a foul but just sit down? And sometimes do you even sit down when you made a legal shot, wait for your opponent to take bih and then call...

    [8-Ball] What's the shot here?

    This came up last night as we were playing scotch doubles with my teammates and as so often we had a minor argument about the correct shot: I played position for the 4 to the upper right corner, succeeded, and we ran out. One of my teammates didn't like the shot and insisted that safety was...

    What Is Your Pool-Related Superstition ?

    I'm not sure if it's a superstition exactly, but I can't have anything in my pockets while playing. If I do and I miss a shot I instantly blame the stuff in my pocket and remove it.

    Name any other sport or game...

    The problem is easily countered by alternate breaks. Sure it's cool you can run multiple racks, but alternate breaks just makes for a better game I think.

    Titleist

    I think it's Titlist without the e. It was a Brunswick one piece cue back in the 30's I think. Nowadays it's a popular blank cue for conversions.

    Which balls to choose?

    Thanks for the replys. The stripes sure look better and better the more I think about this. It wasn't as clear to me on the table. My first pick was solids but after some debate with a couple friends I went with stripes. Didn't work out though...

    1-pocket partners match

    The other team's 'captain' was Brian White. I love 1P but that match was pretty boring. They were playing so cautious, I bet due to the poor partners Gentile and White had to coach.

    Mark Selby

    I think Robertson's ability stems from hard work and practice. If we're talking raw talent then I'd bring up names like Judd Trump, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Alex Higgins(R.I.P).
