Some of my miscues are only known to me. As mentioned in one of your reasons it sort of slips at the end of the contact period with the cue ball. I even get some drawback.

I think everybody agrees it was not intentional. At issue here is if the cue ball obviously hit the shaft after being hit (an obvious double-hit).

No intention is not being discussed here. No one is saying this was an illegal jump shot. What the referee Marcel is saying it seems, is that by video review it was agreed that it hit up the shaft.

If it did hit the shaft and it was only obvious by video, is it a foul? Should video review be allowed for miscues? With technology, if this is allowed then all miscues will soon be fouls.

I’ve been rethinking why shooting with a bit of english feels more natural to me. One theory I’ve heard is that it’s very hard to strike the exact center of the cue ball. But I see the counterargument too: if you’re aiming for a specific amount of english, you can also easily mis-hit that spot...

I compensate automatically for deflection on my way down on the shot. I don't use any method like BHE, for me it's easier to do it naturally. So with or without spin, I am concentrating on the same spot/line on the object ball.

Why?

When I pocket balls, I tend to use outside spin. It just feels easier to make the ball this way. I’ve read about the “touch of outside/inside” idea, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening in my case. My take is that I’m always aiming at the ghost ball position, and instead of overcutting to...

When I listened to this episode I took that comment has a joke. But now I'm wondering if it was.

Thanks. Takes me about 10 tries to run a rack.

I was 500 but stopped logging in games a while back. I think I would be between 550 and 600 now.

Oh, and thanks!

One of my biggest struggle is the grip. I keep trying all kinds of grips. Read all I could here on the grip. I seem to like to hold it tight but I know this is not recommended. I've tried a loose grip, one finger, two fingers, full hand..... etc.

I've worked on my game. I also changed the video angle. I think there is less movement now (except for the 1st shot).

I'm watching it now.
