    Shane Manas Match...?

    No, but if there's a video and it's similar to the one for the SVB-Chohan one pocket match then it might as well not have happened.

    (Unnoticed) 9-Ball Foul - Object Ball Out of Order

    Believe that the rule in APA 8-ball is that, if your opponent shoots your balls, you can let him keep shooting them (in the same turn) until he gets to the 8. If you let him shoot the 8 he either wins by making it or if he misses your balls are now his. If you stop him before he shoots the 8...

    New cloth effects on banks?

    Seems like there should be a standard, like a rolling ball hit from a rail should rebound at an equal angle if rolling at the speed that will return it exactly to the starting rail. Did Brunswick have target math for what they wanted? Did Diamond? Or is it just, meh, that seems to work.

    LD shaft and miscues.

    The LD shaft is supposed to be LD because it deflects instead of the CB deflecting, so, if anything (although certainly it's really nothing), the LD shaft would miscue more, as at the border line of whether your poor stroke hit the CB far enough to the limit of your tip, the LD shaft would...

    Woodward questionable foul European open

    At what minimum angle could the cue ball have traveled from the OB direction that would have made it legal? Is it 91 degrees since the CB has backspin? Or something less?

    BCA needs to address definition of legal push shot

    But at this point shouldn't it be defined? i.e. the cue ball can't travel forward at less than x angle from OB direction for distance y between CB and OB? I'm not arguing that the shot was legal, but the ref's claim that the CB traveled forward is not entirely accurate, as it went in a...

    The smaller pockets are helping the weak players, its very deep and people don't see it.

    Another MR fail is that they can't work with Simonis (or someone) to get new cloth that doesn't play "new." Unless they want it that way...

    BCA needs to address definition of legal push shot

    MR has clearly raised the bar on what professional pool looks like, but it's amateur hour that these types of rules issues are not defined after all this time and a ref and player have the same discussion as will take place at every APA division this week and for the nine billionth time since...

    One Piece, Hard Tip

    Thanks for all the replies. Looks like WB will be the first try. Now to find a place to buy a couple where the shipping isn't more than the tips. :rolleyes:

    One Piece, Hard Tip

    Looking for opinions on Hard, one piece tips. Have looked at the available hardness charts (which I realize are not complete and also that the measurements might be suspect). Have used Lepro and Triangle. Would like something harder than those, but not laminated. This is for a player, so not...
