It’s why I asked for clarity on your question. Are you saying yes of course we we’ve had players with microphones and have plenty of past matches to leverage to learn to do it better? Is that what you’re asking cause that didn’t sound like you’re asking that’s why I’m asking for clarity.

I love seeing how hard they have to stroke on every shot.

I need clarity. I’ve watched many many matches where the the players were mic’d up. It was always a challenge as the microphone, which was often clipped to the shirt, would get rubbed by the cue stick. Is it a certain discussion you want to hear from the player like make them do self...

I’m happy to say I’m wrong if you say he’s legit. Looking forward to finding out more.

Thanks, Jason. There’s like one person… One name and if that’s the name… Brother, I’ll say yeah I can understand that, but it would be really a weird coincidence. The one name… Don the Preacher Feeney. He understood the value of low deflection back in the 1980s, but he didnt understand as we...

Give his name. We’ll have a discussion I think he’s got the wrong dates.

There is zero chance that Front Hand English came from anywhere else but Rec Sport Billiard. He would have to have been part of it. I don’t mean to sound like a dick, but the people talking about it in 1999 2000 2001 would’ve been people on the Internet that were engineers and science people...

Wonder what percentage this guy's sales just went up due to Dr Dave's assessment. LOL!

Did you put a fiber pad under the tip? The original 314 didn't have one. Adding one increased the deflection. Adding two makes it almost like there was no hole.

I think I play with the highest squirt CF shaft, which has more squirt than my old 314 and my Tiger shaft that was built to mimic the 314. And I love it. Bull Carbon

If your friend says anything other than the Newsgroup rec.sport.billiard around the year 2000 for the origin of the term and method of Front Hand English, then he wasnt around when it originated. Several of us on this forum were around at that time. Fronthand English was deduced due to the...

Could have also be Ron Shepard or Bob Jewett. I’d be shocked if it wasnt one you four (three now).

The old books showed the pivoting about the bridge hand (the grip or back hand moving the stick) was an understood concept. Front hand English wasnt a thing until these forums around 2000, and the term was coined by someone like Pat Johnson or Mike Page, IIRC.

Yes; the ones you quoted. Fouling on a push is a foul, outside of the push out rules that disregard the rotation and cushion requirements. A ball off the table is a foul, push out or not..

I would think the rules are explicit that it’s a foul.

I would think so too. Right now in my head I can’t imagine a situation where you would consider it anything other than inside. But I’m sure somebody will come up with Something and it will be very obvious.

I’d have to see the diagram. I guess I don’t bother with inside/outside on a kick shot, but some cushion first shots are pretty obvious what inside/outside are in relation to the cushion not the pocket.

Horse hockey. That’s an even worse comparison, and as much as I love using AI, it might make me reconsider ever using Claude as a deep research tool. Any top Ping Pong player would laugh in Claude’s virtual face.

I never wanna answer this freaking question again. And I don’t wanna answer to all the excuses. Efren beat Ronnie. Though Ronnie was a teenager, he was still one of the best snooker players on the planet at the time. They were on a snooker table in Bankok. Efren was using a pool cue. Earlier...

When you say, “off the table”… do you mean onto the floor?
