I appreciate Dr Dave putting this out, because it shows better draw with a soft tip, which is something he was arguing against in the other thread.

“And then he said I called the 9, I called the 9.”

Anyone taking Grabe or Yapp in these first two?

As of now:

There’s a concept called verbal overshadowing that putting words to something that is visual in nature can screw up your visualization. It’s probably not a good idea to verbalize too much when thinking about your angles.

I suppose whatever interpretation of the rules was made explicit in the player’s meeting or documents given to them would be the proper interpretation, if it even was made explicit.

Right, here are those rules again from WPA: That combination was as obvious as a straight in shot. The referee must have been “satisfied that the intended shot was made.”

My favorite Jim Wych-ism: “And he knows it.” Example: “He missed that ball, and he knows it.”

Right, it looked like deLuna was sitting there and had accepted the call reversal, but then Mika yelled at him and so deLuna got up. I know people are saying that de Luna has a history, and Mika said that he lost his control because of de Luna‘s history. That was honest of him. But you can’t...

That’s football, which is already extremely popular. If you’re trying to get more spectators into pool, I think it helps if things are direct and visual.

Right I agree about football, but pool is not in the same place. But I don’t think it’s so much about being knowledgeable as it is about needing to know what was called. You can be very knowledgeable and still not know what ball was called. It’s not an issue for obvious shots but it does come...

Right, I was agreeing with that. It’s not a good spectator sport if you see something happen and still don’t know what happened. 9-ball, snooker, 3-cushion: visual, good for spectators. 10-ball: verbal, bad.

It’s not a spectator sport when you can watch a kick shot and see a ball go in a pocket and not know whether to cheer because you didn’t hear if the player called that ball.

Lol! That definitely makes me the axxhole.

I think it’s great that Savannah Easton likes and plays pool well, but I’m sorry I don’t really want a 13-year-old girl doing commentary on the 10-ball world championship. Am I the asshle?

Right, I forgot about that part.

Apparently some people don’t have an inner voice at all, which seems impossible to me, but: https://www.livescience.com/does-everyone-have-inner-monologue.html But I think most of my thoughts at the table are spatial or geometric rather than verbal.

I don’t know if you’re not understanding me or I’m not understanding you. You said ”the ref called a foul.” All I’m saying is that, even if Mika failed to call the 9, it would not be a foul, it would just be end of inning. Mika hit the correct ball first, no matter what he called. Making an...

Coincidence maybe, but DAZN is not on Matchroom’s Where to Watch list for Premier League Pool.
