Lots of these players very rarely play 9ft at all, so if they do enter a couple tournaments here and there their Fargo will be (quite) a bit lower then their true speed. Of the well known English 8-ball players I think Mick Hill has the highest Fargo at around 780, several others indeed in the...

One of the nicest cues I ever acquired (for a customer that's an equally nice person). Mike's words on the cue: Hi Dave, That is without a doubt the nicest conversion we have ever done. Although we did not make the blank it is still assembled the same as our cues.....Tell him to enjoy it for...

A good new 2" slate in the neighbourhood of 1k-2k + shipping from what I could find in a few min of searching (and yes I mostly found pool table slates): https://www.gameworldplanet.com/collections/pool-table-slate-beds https://www.dynamic-billard.de/en/search?sSearch=schieferplatte...

I was able to share a nice dinner with Efren, Earl and Bustamente when they were over in Germany a couple years ago. That was great fun and they shared a lot of stories. From what they told Efren and Busti shared all costs and winnings when they were travelling together. Over the years Efren...

So, have you gotten your cue back yet?

Can you explain how the cueball could possibly "skim" the 5? The cueball is either going to hit the 3 or the 5 first roughly half-ball (or as a third option, both at the same time roughly half-ball).

😁

I do believe you can.

Th That was not the question ;-) But, you'll be pleased to know the 3 hit the short rail, as can be seen in the video by the shade changing direction.

There was no pocket, you can just about see the corner pocket and the head string in the video. I could have gone rail first around the 10 but since I felt I could hit the 3 directly and leave it at least difficult for my opponent (there was another ball near the long rail that the 3 would have...

Again, thank you Bob, I value you opinion highly. If I understand your responses correctly you still feel the shot is too close to call but if you HAD to chose between the 3 and 5 being hit first you'd chose the 3? Since the 3 has more momentum and the cueball is going left.

You would call a foul simply because you were asked to make the call, not because you actually think it was a foul? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I agree the 3 rolls faster then the 5 does, but does that mean it was hit first or second? If the 5 was hit first that was near-as-makes-no-difference a half ball hit, the tangent line would then take the cueball towards the 3 with a full ball hit on the 3, right?

No that is not what's happening IMO. In the frame you are likely talking about you can see slight movement of the 3 ball *and* the 5 ball but this is after the cueball has contacted both balls allready.

Thank you Bob, I do think they were very close to being symmetrical but indeed if anything the 3 was slightly closer to the cueball then the 5.

Iphone 15 on slo-mo setting, best we could do😅

If the 5 was hit first that alone would not cause the 3 to move since the 5 was moving away from the 3, not towards it.

The shot was played with a bit of right hand spin in an attempt to ever so slightly massé the cueball around the 10.

Close situtation whilst playing a friend came up so we decided to video the shot. What do you think?

Post avalanche! You do know it's possible to combine several sentences in 1 post, right? ;)
