    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    As already mentioned in many posts, the balls do show the same "movement" effects at other times in the video, even including before the shot when the shaft had never been remotely near the nine ball yet. That video issues were happening causing optical illusion nine ball "movements" all around...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    What I've said has been crystal clear and repeated many times, but I will go ahead and state it for you once more, just please make sure to read it however many times it takes for it to really sink in and take the time to really think it out so you actually comprehend and understand it. In...

    Jason Jones Florida Cuemaker?

    Are you sure on those years? Here is a Jason Jones from Florida who was a custom cue maker and died young, but the years you posted wouldn't seem to match up for him. Can't be too many custom cue makers by that name in Florida who died young though, so maybe it is somehow still the same guy if...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    I do understand it, which you should know because I already gave an explanation of it better than yours. It is you who clearly does not understand how cameras work, certainly not in the sense of being aware of the optical illusion type tricks they can play on you, which I showed indisputable...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    Or as sometimes happens, this was just one of those cases where the the answer is involved enough that it just can't be summed up much more concisely, not without leaving out pertinent things that would have cut off the various arguments you are going to end up getting back and where you end up...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    I think I can show fairly conclusively that no foul occurred on the shot. If you have a computer put the video below on full screen in the best quality. Pause the video just before you see the cue tip ever move at all (about 60% of the way through the video). The space bar can be a handy...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    I don't see the shaft deflecting left into the nine so that claim certainly isn't "clear", nor is this a very good angle to best be able to see which way the shaft deflected whichever way it went if any. I will say this though. He was almost definitely not using left english, so shaft...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    This is crazy talk. This would be reasonably accurate for your standard side of the shaft hitting a nearby object ball foul where that object ball actually moves a slight amount like a quarter inch instead of just barely, barely rocking in place (which would be many, many times easier to feel...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    None of that is really technically correct. When things get hit hard enough to be moved any amount that would be pretty easily noticeable by the naked eye as you claim happened here, especially spherical objects with very little resistance acting against them, they start moving immediately...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    While this wasn't directed towards me, I think the better question is why are you doing this? Even with the benefit of being able to watch multiple replays in super slow motion, half the people don't believe any foul occurred at all, that's how microscopic and unbelievably light the contact...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    Here is another video of the shot at the 21:47 mark. For those on a computer you can pause any youtube video (the space bar can be used to pause/play with a bit more precision) and then while the video is paused you can advance and rewind the video one single frame at a time by using the comma...

    US Open 08/18-23

    Here is an interview with Sky from on site at the Florida Open a couple of weeks ago where he seems to almost be bragging about how he hasn't played in like two and a half months as if that makes him cool or something. He also seems to brag about how he has not hit a ball since arriving at the...

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    If I'm not mistaken it seems like you may be thinking of this kind of like a diving board, where when a diver jumps up from the end of the diving board and comes back down it causes the board to bend down due to that downward force, but eventually the diving board reaches the bottom of its flex...

    The inaugural Texas Pool and Billiards Hall of Fame

    That about sums it up. I would add that Gilbert essentially quit playing pool a little over 20 years ago, around the time he went to work for Omega Billiards. He deals with untold numbers of pool playing customers every day at Omega and very few of them have any clue the caliber of player they...

    You could be right. His regular demeanor and confidence seemed to come back a few games back and it usually comes with beast mode play.

    2023 World Pool Championship, Kielce, Poland

    He's all out of sorts this match, worst I have ever seen him play by far. Not sure I even remember him playing what I would call a bad match in the last 1.5 years. Since this is the first time you have seen him it would definitely be worth finding and watching one of his previous matches from...
