Can a player hit down ?

[Patrick Johnson]

A single hit that consists of multiple contact points is still a single hit.

WTF?

...on simultaneous hits. Hits that are not physical like an air barrel. How about electromagnetic hits?

WTF?

I think the rules only refer to visible and physical hits.

I think that's because they're about reality.

Are you saying its not possible to activate an EM field using cloth fibers at the sametime the cueball is struck by the cue stick?

I'm saying whatever TF you're talking about has nothing to do with pool.

There is a reason I have him on the ignore list. As amusing as the posts are to read at times.

Would it be a catastrophe if the 8-ball and rotation games rule-makers just eliminated the double-hit on the cue ball rule? I say - "Let 'em play on" if it is a single stroke (not a push), and the cue tip doesn't hit the object ball. Slow-motion camera shows many double-hits for previously presumed legal hits. BCA regional referees have made a travesty of the official double-hit rule, by allowing unwritten 'rules of thumb' that also filter down to the local BCA leagues and training for new players. If BCA leagues can't effectively enforce their written rule, then remove it.
Allowing the so-called double-hit on the cue ball would allow another 'skill' to be added to a players arsenal.

I’ve been an advocate of this. It really doesn’t change the outcome.

Then you'd need officiating to determine an allowable double hit.

Yeah but what does active cloth do?

Requires a minimum threshold force to prevent cheating techniques that are extraneous to the cue stick.

Theoretically shooters can fight over the path of balls.

Maxwells cloth or cloth 2.0 would neutralize any atmospheric effects.

Air conditioning does that.

Air conditioning does that.

Working with temperature is nothing new and a lot more expensive to sell.

Maxwell's cloth is a lower cost investment with a longer lifetime service.
Air conditioning is subject to multiple failures and service maintenance costs.

Psychoactive not sure what you mean. I am a man of good cloth, currently developing better cloth.

You never tried to blow a ball into a pocket.
Just imagine blowers from the future.
