Look it up.

It was a joke.

You doesn't.

Do you realize that 'nitty' means infested with nits?

Chang wanted to make sure the cue ball was exactly where he wanted it to be. To do that he had to see it from the end of the table where he was standing. He couldn't reach the spot with his hand so he used his cue to maneuver it into into position.

If the rule posted above by 'DeadStick' applies, why would anyone think it was a foul?

Thank you buddy.

I arrived in Vietnam in 1969 so I missed TET. I've always admired the Marines for the job you guys did. My regards.

I was stationed in Cu Chi Vietnam 69-70, but didn't see it much. I was a radio telephone operator (RTO) for awhile, carried an M-79 grenade launcher and an M-16, but mostly I was a tunnel rat.

Thank you to all my fellow veterans. Hope you all have a great Veterans Day!

I watched it in slow motion. The cue ball hit the rail first. If nothing hit a rail after the shot, it was a foul.

Great 10 ball match between Van Boening and Antonis Brabin, . They were calling 'ball and pocket'. 9 ball on the break doesn't win. Helps to reduce slop. My kind of game.

Too many variables.

I usually think 3 shots ahead when I play 9 ball.

I agree. The cue ball hops on the break because it goes airborne on it's way to the rack.

It's interesting how the subject evolved from 'pop' to 'hop'. Sounds like a Dr. Seuss book.

If it's on YouTube, please tell us where so we can view it.

Back in the day if I said I 'popped' somebody, it was understood that I punched him.

I agree. The myriad variations of a pool stroke preclude the usefulness of any 'device'. As I said earlier; dedicated practice is what turns a 'banger' into a expert.
