Just admit don't know how to measure a lag using the simple method explained by me several other posters.. Your childish display of ignorance is embarrassing. Be adult enough to recognize it.
Lagging ?

That's the relag.
Lol. What are you on about and what do you think am I ignorant about?
I've asked you multiple times to address a specific and simple item and you've still not yet done so.
Can we try a rephrase of what I've asked, and can you please respond without getting your feelings hurt?
You have a referenced which ball 'touches first' more than once. Why is that relevant to figuring out who won the lag?
I am referencing a well known phenomenon where when you have two objects that are the same size but are at different distances the object that is closer will appear larger.
This method of judging distances is older than pool. Think of ships on the sea.
I can see that when you are confronted by your own ignorance that you attack ,as evidenced by your first response. If you need further clarification on how to guage distances under the circumstances described,ask nicely and I will attempt to learn you something. Otherwise,fuck off.
Go to 43 seconds is the first lag.
Lol, I see why I was told you weren't worth the clicks.
So you still aren't going to let anybody know why you think which ball touches the headrail first has any relevance whatsoever in this?
And then you went and got yourself all torqued up too...
Yes I know. This how the first one sat. It's blurry but it looks to me like the 6 ball is a hair above the nose of the cushion.
Thanks for educating me on this technique. I just tried it on a couple of balls close to the rail and it works damn good! If you are moving your head slowly downward the first ball to line up with the reference point will be the closest, works the same with a still shot. Obviously the technique where the head is moving would require the observer to be present for the 3D effect, it's basically triangulation. This pic is too blurry, but yes, the 6 appears closer to me.
Just something that sinks in after years of watching YouTube pool.
Cuedup noticed it too. Funny that after centuries, this is not even a thing. !?!?!
I am direct on the way of measuring youve so pinkly repeated.
The hissy fit is pretty unnecessary. You're posting on a forum, not a bumper sticker.
In the context of this matter, would you please explain the statement you made about 'touches the rail first'?

I get it. Many of us are not sure you get it. Would you be so kind as to explain what *you* think it means?
I understand the method and would have chosen different language than what was initially provided.
There is no actual contact with the rail unless the balls are moving, yuhknow?
Look into the night sky.
See those two heavenly bodies appearing to touch each other?
You may not know this but there are millions of light years between them. You didn't actually think they were touching, did you?

You still dig in because of the language, even though you understand it? Huh.
Please think abstractly.
Maybe it was the wording. By looking at both balls and lowering your head, eventually you’ll reach a head position that one of the balls lines up with the cushion when the other doesnt. That will determine which ball is closest to the cushion, which is in fact the determining factor of who won the lag.
