Yeah, I think people are wrong to give Hunter such a hard time. As far as I know, there’s no reason to believe that he was lying. It was the ref that made a mistake here. The rules say that, yes, the seated player acts as a “ref,” but if there’s a disagreement, and the (real) ref has no basis...

The rules do say that the ref should rely on “trusted witnesses.”

Yes, the ref was right that the seated player performs the duties of the ref. Lots of people on social media saying they’d never heard of that. But it’s the second part that should have come into play: When there’s a dispute like this, it should be assumed that no foul occurred. Lots of people...

Wow, $80 for the sampler pack with hard, med, soft pieces. https://www.predatorcues.com/usa/accessories/table-accessories/pure-chalk.html

Didn’t Shane beat Tyler 9-8 in the finals of a tournament just recently?

It looks like Tyler Styer beat SVB 9-8 to get to the finals on the winner’s side. Now wait for loser’s side to finish, SVB will probably be back. Tyler has beaten both Skylar and Shane in this tournament.

I’ll play Devil’s advocate a little here. You’re defining a miscue as a hit where the cue ball travels obviously off the intended line of aim and makes an obviously funny sound. But it’s the secondary hit(s) on the tip/shaft/ferrule that send the cue ball off line, so of course any shot that...

“Sorry but we can‘t play for 4 hours. I need to charge the cue ball.” :oops: Just kidding, looking forward to the final product. ;)

You could imagine the shot that everyone knows, out of the top left corner pocket and into the second diamond from the lower right. Then imagine where that shot is aiming about 10 feet away, and aim this shot at that spot. edit: anyone else think the shot in the diagram in the first post looks...

Maybe try spot on the wall. Experiment, find a spot in the distance that works, and it should work pretty well for other positions of the 4 ball.

I‘m impressed with your approach to developing this system Dr Dave. I’ve generally heard that the through-diamond 2-1 system works for rolling-ball banks and kicks, but I’m a little skeptical that it would just magically work out so well. Have you thought about applying this approach with...

Very easy to understand. Just 1) use points across from the diamonds on the table rather than through the diamonds, 2) double it just like you’d expect with a bank, but then 3) add 10% of the doubled rail. And remember these are sliding banks, not rolling. I do find using the points across from...

Question: Are all/most miscues fouls? I’ve heard this before, and I think Dr Dave has said this. But in my experience, the vast majority of miscues leave a hard spot of chalk on the cue ball and a blank spot on the cue tip. You need to scrape the chalk off the cue ball with your fingernail...

At 5-5, after a great break, Sky miscues.

USA gets one, 5-4 Japan now, USA breaking.

A low resting HR is associated with criminality, so…

Lol we just got to hear Shaw having a pee in the toilet, broadcast live.

Right, but the same ref called that foul on Pehlivanovic without a replay. He clearly thinks all miscues are fouls. I’m not even sure that the female ref called the foul due to the miscue; she might have thought there was no rail.

Here's the link to the match, the shot in question is at around 17:00: Definitely a double hit, but I'm not sure I've ever seen that called a foul before, except for by this particular ref.

Shane and Sky should have given her a hug, just to make up for Earl.
