How to Easily Detect a DOUBLE HIT FOUL - best video to date on this topic

I accidentally put a top local player on tilt over chalk cubes. He had 4 or 5 cubes on the rail and would move them to tangent lines and use them for planning routes. I didn't really care but every time I got ready to shoot I had to keep moving chalk cubes. I left one at the pool table and put the others on his spectator table. Within 2 turns there were 4 back on the table. I set all but one on top of the light. He watched me do it. He got to the table and started getting loud and confrontational asking where his chalk was. I showed him and told him he watched me do it.

I don't remember exactly what I said but something to the effect that I am sick of moving 3 chalk cubes on every shot I take and that a player of his level shouldn't need to mark out tangent lines and places of contact on the rails. He got huffy but didn't say a word after being called out on table marking. I was already on my way to winning before this but it basically put him on full tilt.

It's kind of funny because he really is a good player, he analyzes the hell out of everything, gives lessons on CB routes, diamonds etc, but evidently not having chalk cubes at every point of rail contact was too much to ask. Funny enough every time I've seen him play after that he uses a magnetic chalk holder. I actually think he's an alright guy but it was just a really funny incident.

Next time you know you're going to match up with this Pro player. Bring a 'Roll of Painters tape' to the PR.

Right before you play, go around and put the tape all around the diamonds on the table!

I'm a 3C player, I don't need the diamonds!

My chalk idea would be good for self practice.
But....

Top pros will do a walk around and chalk then put the chalk down and walk around more.
It's not uncommon, and it's not common.... for the area they want the cue ball to strike the rail, be where they had placed the chalk 20 seconds prior.
It's all legal, gives em another perspective from the other table end.
