Yeah, but you gotta bad rep, lol.
I actually don’t know and am just asking those citing da rules.

but I love you
anyways radar
He used a triangle.
OK, but did he have the proscribed outline on the table?
Lou Figueroa
simple question
What is wrong with you? This is supposed to be about "SVB high run attempt". He just missed a 97/100 shot. You post about JS. So lame. How did he miss that? Was he going for shape on a particular ball? Was there some situation that most would miss? Did he just dog it? Would be great if you effin narcissist would post about the actual subject.
He used a triangle rather than template + outline. The outline is only required if a template rack is used.
I am suggesting just the balls. And the balls should be a known entity because the spot is there, and the ball size is a constant.
Are you sure?
Bob is saying: “The rules require a triangle to be outlined even when you are using a non-triangle racking method. In/out is determined by the outline.”
The “even” makes me wonder if your interpretation is correct.

One thing I noticed is that Shane's CB placement for break shots was always for about the same cut angle (~30 degrees/half ball?) regardless of how close or far the break ball was from the rack.
Is that common practice? If so, is it because the half ball cut is the best combination of easy to hit and good carom power?

I think he's just more comfortable with the half-ball cut. That cut removes 75% of the cue ball's energy. A 60-degree cut removes only 25%. (That ignores any follow-through-the-balls action.) I think that difference in energy loss is why the ancients used more cut angle with shorter shots.
Maybe you’re right, that’s how I understood what he was saying.
I dont recall a triangle outline used at most events I’ve ever been to. The Derby City 14.1 Challenge… they often used tournament tables, so no triangle outline.
If they were using a Sardo Rack then I guess that took pretty good care of figuring out if the ball was playable or not.
Just saying.
I think the 14.1 tables at Derby City were always marked lightly with tailor's chalk. I know they were at least the first five years.
I love how SVB is super charged about coming back. That’s the kind of guy that could very possibly run 800+ if he puts his mind to it!! The dude is a work horse and a machine and I have no doubts in his drive to do something big!!
The break shot was so brutal and cost Shane almost every high run other than the occasional missed shot. If Shane really practices the break shot like he does the break in rotation games….. I’ll bet even money he breaks 800!!!

I was watching Hohmann's 152 and out from 2007 earlier today, and it didn't look like there was an outline.
Also saw a Mosconi/Caras match with no outline but the video was pretty poor.
I also saw SVB's personal high record of 308 from yesterday, and there was no outline.
The perma-rack template gives the shooter a pretty nice look at where the balls will be at when the balls are reracked.
I saw a time where Shane put a ball on one of the spots to see how close he was to his break ball. Personally I would draw a rack line, a line from the foot spot to the foot rail for spotting balls and a head string line. I don’t own a table but if I did I would do just that
My experience from the 1960s is that one of the final steps that the cloth installers always did was to mark the headstring, the longstring from a few inches above the foot spot to the foot rail and the outline of the triangle. The careful ones would also mark a cross at the head spot and the center spot.
