Go back and read my posts. They are very clear and wouldn't lead to such a silly question.

I mentioned that shot in post #125 as a good example that most have likely seen since it is a very common trick shot, but I didn't (and still don't) have a link to it at the time. Like you, I think it would be a good representative example shot of a push foul to post if somebody has a link to...

What are you talking about? Unless I'm remembering wrong, which is quite possible, he was only offering a prize to one person at a time, on occasion here and there, for a relatively short little while, and I haven't heard of him doing that in quite some time. When all their attempts are added...

There is a big difference between hitting the cue ball with a cue that has been swung into it, and pushing the cue ball forward with the cue tip so that the cue ball intentionally stays in contact with it for much longer because you are literally pushing it forward for a while instead of having...

You said a "big reward has been on the table for years", which makes it sound one way, but as I recall Bobby offered his challenge only for a period of time, only intermittently during that period of time at his whim and convenience, and only to one person at a time at most, only at his personal...

Back around 2014 John Schmidt's two highest runs in straight pool on a 9 foot table were 403 and 400, and his highest run on a 9 foot diamond table was 294 (don't recall what the pocket sizes were for sure though). As I recall he said at the time that he felt his 294 on the diamond was the...

I think the call still could (and arguably should) have been overruled by a good knowledgeable head referee, and part of the issue here was that Marcel is not a good knowledgeable head ref (to put it kindly). In his protest Pongers presumably told Marcel "the ref declared the balls to be...

Look at the very, very bottom of your screen (below Home/Forums/etc), and then on the left. It may say something like "XF2 Default Dark". Whatever it says, click on it, that is the darkness settings for the forum and there are five of them. Try them out and see which meets your preference. I...

Here are several. The first 3 links are different views of the same shot involving an illegal push stroke. The fourth link is an illegal push stroke on a different shot and there are tons of videos online with other variations of this shot (where they make different balls of the three...

If I am reading it right, Jay's post on facebook makes it sound like the cue was not actually quite "perfect, like new" but had some of what Jay considered to be very minor "scuffs" on it that didn't detract from the cue being like new in his opinion. The buyer apparently felt differently about...

Without giving much thought to it, my snap thought it that it seems like play just continues since both balls are considered in play. The players will eventually need to either try to make one of the balls, hit one or both of them in an attempt to unjam them so they can be played later, or play...

I haven't done the math or measured the angle, but it doesn't look to be 100 degrees to me. With the half a pocket of extra pocket that is there to cheat and lessen the angle that is needed to pocket the ball is taken into consideration, I think it is actually closer to being an 89 degree cut...
