Vice City Filler vs Marc Bijsterbosch Ref Poor Position to make the call

[mr3cushion]

Interesting, was he competitive?

We've had some talks about the best pool+ 3c player on the azb and don't think he was mentioned...we don't know what we don't know.

No, he got steered into the game!

When he found out later I beat the best player, Homero Vadespino in SF from the Mission district he was pissed!

rafael martinez could probably do some damage in his prime?

matlock plays 3c at a high level. yrs back efren said he was the best american pool player playing 3c. they played up in Olathe a few times.

David seems a little off as of late, losing 7/1 twice in Ultimate Pool.

In 1986 I gave Him 7 on 30 for $300 a game at the Chicago Billiard Cafe!

He lost 2 games!

BTW, about Rafael, 'Big' Stroke' most likely helped him playing 9 ball!

Like most Mexican 3C players from the past, heavy hitters, the Big stroke got him in more trouble than out of it!

He didn't have 'Technique/Strategy/Finesse' to go to the next level!

Marco Marquez and he would be an even game!

In the 'Mid 90's' I offered him 50-35, he refused!

'Boston Shorty' & Dallas West were the Pool players that played 3C!

those guys were old men by the time i started. David plays real good 3c as a pool player. Can you beat him playing ANY pool game? Doubt it.

Who, Miles Archer, Sam Spade's partner!

Johnny Archer 'Pool Player' wouldn't know what rail to hit first on this shot!

Lol. I met Johnny in his heyday. He was very personable - regular even, no apex crap. Hope he gets out of his PR difficulties.
But, Hu mentioned a zillion rail bank Johnny did on him. Been curious about that.

Anyway that billiard bank is amazing. Except for the scoring cushion, there's only one reverse in the whole thing! Any tricks to keep the ball on track?

After the 5th cushion, the 'Natural Roll' of the CB takes over!

The CB needs to be contacted at, Medium 5 O'clock English!

The 'Cue-tip' speed is Very Fast!

Roberto is 68-year-old, 5'5" and weighs 140 lbs. soaking wet!

BTW, the Most Important element of this shot is, 'The starting location of the CB'!

Generally speaking (i.e., not just with pool), I tend to distinguish between a bad call and an incorrect calls. Bad calls are typically incorrect, but not every incorrect call is bad. An incorrect call is one that appears reasonable in real time from the viewing perspective of the official making the call, but replay shows that things didn't happen quite as they appeared to happen from the official's angle. A bad call is a call (or non-call) that is noticeably incorrect in real time from most any viewing angle.

An example of an incorrect call that was not a bad call would be the facemask foul called against the Detroit Lions at the end of regulation when Detroit hosted the Packers during the 2015 NFL season, a game known as the Miracle in Motown. Replay showed that contact with the facemask was minimal and incidental, not justifying a foul being called. However, in real time, it looked like an egregious facemask foul. An example of a bad (no-) call would be Rams at Saints in 2018. There was simply no excuse for the ref missing that clear and obvious foul.

In the Filler vs. Bijsterbosch match, it's tough to say if the cue ball did or did not hit the rail when watching in real time. It might have been an incorrect call, but it wasn't a bad call.

Hot damn. I knew this but didn't know how to say it.

Not necessarily, right?

Here the cueball does look like it picks up speed when it contacts the rail
