    Push shot foul?

    A good illustration of this is the illegal push shot with the OB against a rail near a corner pocket and the CB frozen to the OB opposite the rail - the CB is pushed softly into the OB, straight into the rail with sidespin on the side opposite the pocket, rotating the OB in the opposite...

    Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

    I don't think anybody disagrees. Only that the referee should have obvious/verifiable evidence. pj chgo

    Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

    I wouldn't trust a foul called on me with such "hearsay" evidence. I say no foul unless it's obvious, usually by the CB taking an obvious detour from its normal path. That should also limit it to fouls that matter. pj chgo

    Are LD shafts only really helpful on long shots w/ a lot of side spin?

    Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

    Are LD shafts only really helpful on long shots w/ a lot of side spin?

    Backhand and fronthand english describe which hand to move sideways the most for high-deflection (backhand) and low-deflection (fronthand) shafts. Pivot points (where the cue crosses the shot line) are at or closer to the opposite hands. I think one is only better than the other in how it...
