    Did I make a bad call as Tournament Director?

    That's what I thought but apparently you can scratch on the 8 in our league.

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    Maybe in this context but not in this thread. I don't know how there was a discussion on aiming spanning 32 pages and not a single reference to periphery? I certainly do raise the bar around here don't I? :cool:

    That's how league is played out here...only a loss if you sink the 8 in the wrong pocket.

    In all of those you are looking away from the contact ball precisely at or moments before contact...not after.

    Did I make a bad call as Tournament Director?

    Sounds like they both saw what they saw. Why would Vic swipe the balls intentionally if he saw that bob just missed the 4 ball? How could he ever think to get away with it? He had ball in hand with all his balls open, why would he even need to "cheat"? Who would swipe the balls versus running...

    Nothing. It is where pool players go to retire.

    Um, I was the one that brought up peripheral vision like twice already when explaining this cueball last method, so lets give credit where credit is due.

    They are all wrong. Their games would have improved if they had better coaching.

    DAZN petty charge

    Isn't everything just on youtube anyway? Do we really need to watch it live? I could guess what happens anyway, "US gets schooled by a stacked European team made up of the best players of an entire continent."

    It makes a difference both logically and in practice.

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    Delivering hitting whatever...he was referring to that at contact the golfer was looking at the hole not the golf ball...might have even been during his backswing. AND you don't have to hit EXACTLY anywhere. AND you affect the cueball for as long as the tip is in contact, including the follow...

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    Hendry is looking through the cueball and sighting the object ball in his periphery, and at the moment of impact is diverting his eyes entirely to the object ball...so he is essentially looking at the object ball imo. I just think he would be better off de-cluttering his delivery and just focus...

    Pool Movies--let's get some ratings

    Best movie the color of money. EXCEPT for when Vince nonchallontly leaves a bank shot on the 9ball or some ball while ditching against Grady Seasons. Everything was wide open on the table so Mcready should have said that Vince would NEVER leave shape for a bank shot in that situation. The...

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    He claimed in an interview with someone, or they mentioned that he "oddly" looks at the cueball. But you can see in this video he looks at the object ball, then the cueball, then the object ball at or just after the point of contact...hes actually looking through the cueball here and seeing the...

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    It doesn't matter how big the goal is if your target is the top corner. Anyway look at putting in golf. You move your eyes from the golf ball to the hole during your stroke. It's no different for pool. Same in baseball...eyes on ball until contact. I could go on and on.

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    A shot in pool is no different than say taking a free kick in soccer. You have to take into account the spin, and curve, and pace to get the ball where you want it to go. Same with a pool shot with deflection, swerve and throw. You foot in soccer contacts the ball for the same amount of time as...
