    i dont think a skill level difference like this should even be allowed. honestly its a cruelty and a disservice to the lower skilled player and an insult to the spirit of the game.

    I am a fairly novice player and still struggle with shots and leaves (LOL!). What I learned is that applying FHE vs BHE is something to watch for. Also . . . CIT is a big thing when applying english (side spin). Just my limited experience/struggle sharing.

    at the 3:17:00 mark, game 2 between the 7's. The one fellow broke and made a couple of stripes and a solid, but scratched. His oppenent then shot a stripe and missed. He then shot a stripe and a foul was called for shooting stripes. Now, when he broke and scratched the table was open. When his opponent missed, it was still open. How could that have been a foul ?

    rules question. At the 2:03:09 mark the young lady shooting was having to kick at the 5 ball. She called a timeout and her captain placed a cube of chalk on the rail as an aiming point for her kick shot. I thought that was not legal in qualifiers and above. She fouled anyway by hitting her opponents ball first, but I'm curious about the rule. That came up last week in one of my league matches as I placed a cube for my lower ranked player to aim for.

    I just want to clarify what you’re saying… because I am trying to be better!!!! …even when you put English on, you act like the right or left is center, square up your body as if that is center of the cue? Shoot straight through and line up your shot “pretending” left or right is center to make the cue ball do what you want? Do you have any advice on the power used for that type of shot? Is it better to just be gentle and follow through or will the cue ball end up where you want even if you hammer it?

    Clearly Jason Bowman knows little about pool and doesn't seem very interested in the matches as they're played . Feels need to constantly talk and draws attention away from the game being played. Extremely annoying. I'd put it on mute but would miss Ava's comments. Bowman is just so annoying. Please learn to lay back.

    QUESTION: APA NATIONAL CAN'T GIVE A STRAIGHT ANSWER. Foul or not Foul. Opponent: has used his one time out during the rack. ME: I am on the 8 ball and mark the pocket. correctly but miss. Opponent: another teammate runs to the table and marks the 8 ball pocket for him to shoot. Rule is only one coach allowed at the table for a time out? Opponent has no more timeouts. Used it earlier in the game. Teammate marked the pocket for his player to shoot. While i can find no rule that says the PLAYER has to mark the pocket, the rule says: if a player does not mark the pocket it is a ball in hand. If a player has used his timeout, Then the foul occurred when 1) another player marked the pocket, 2) another player went to the table without a timeout, 3) the player did not mark the pocket.

    I've just looked through the comments and I feel sorry for all those who must have a label. The front hand is not moved so it's not FHE. The back hand is not moved so it's not BHE. And there's no parallel shift involved either! Dear me, what will the poor label seekers do?

    Their strokes are atrocious for Masters players. Not that they aren’t great shot makers and have a lot of experience in terms of shot selection, but I would’ve expected to see some more “beautiful” pool here
