I was dwelling on an icindent that happened to me at league the other night. I was playing 9 ball vs a 5....i am a 6 in a 38-46 race with me going to 46.
I broke and ran a few balls and only needed 2 and my opponent needed 4. When i shot my next ball my opponent claimed i double hit the cue ball. I replied i did not feel the hit or see the cue ball move.
He was standing at the side of the table watching but out of my line of sight.
Before i go any further i guess i should explain the entire situation. Due to an injury in my shooting hand i cannot bend all my fingers around the cue and only have feeling in my thumb....index finger and partial in my middle finger and no feeling in 75 percent of my palm. They keep the temperature pretty dang cold at the pool hall which causes my hand to ache quite a bit at times due to nerve and tendon damage. I am not the only one who thinks its pretty cold there because several people bring sweaters and light jackets to wear when not shooting.
I started wearing a compression sleeve on my arm which helped some but still left my hand aching . i tried several gloves with not much luck until i started using a copperfit glove which helps a lot.
So....its highly likely that i did foul without realizing it . i have never played this guy before so i dont know if he was telling the truth or pulling a move. I do know from his fqcial expressions during the match he was " really " not liking being on the losing end but being the laid back guy i am i told him to take bih without any argument from me. He runs 4 balls and wins the match.
Just wondered what others would do in that situation
I did get revenge an houf later beating him 4-1 in 8 ball in a 4-4 race.
