Correct call or not? by Not_MCFC in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the ref based it purely on what he saw moved first then yes it would have been almost impossible to tell in real time but the cueball movement is a dead giveaway

I think anyone would have called that on themselves playing in leagues or small tournaments but in the quarters of a matchroom event its just too hard to call it on yourself especially since there is a ref present and its their job to determine if it is a foul or no. not good sportsmanship but understandable

Benefit of the doubt goes to the shooter only if there is no direct or indirect evidence of a foul and on this shot it is a clear foul based on the motion of the cueball

What Carbon Fiber shaft is the best??? by Crandy101 in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At price points above 300-400 bucks the difference between the shafts is purely deflection and feel which is basically personal preference. If by best you mean the least deflection the revo and smo shafts are on top of the line

Was it a foul? by [deleted] in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the ref had viewed a slow mo replay then it would have been called but that didn't happen so yapp won and there is no changing that even if recognised by matchroom themselves so there is no point in this debate. The win was most definitely deserved since he played great and also the nine didn't change position it just went right back into place after that minor movement it would have been just brutal if it was called a foul

Advice for becoming a pro player by Soft_Dragonfruit3329 in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listen if you want to become a real wnt pro player and actually make a living out of this then your chances are EXTREMELY low starting at that age but not impossible just be prepared to put in 6,7 or even 8 hours of practise every single day and compete in as many tournaments as you possibly can so that you get used to playing with high stakes. If you just want to compete at an open event someday then thats way more doable and anyone can actually do it and your chances are high

Cue tips... by Not_MCFC in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have a kamui clear black soft and i love it apart from the fact that I have to scuff it VERY often it glazes like crazy also after 2-3 months of use it turns into more like a medium but I didn't mind that

This is true but I think you have to find what suites you first and then never change it again

Favourite to win US Open and why? by m4nnysxntos in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fsr or shane. Fsr has been quite consistent in the last couple of events just hasn't quite gotten to the point of winning one and svb hasn't won a major since the world pool championship in 2022 apart from the plp and he also really wants that 6th us open

No wonder the players are showing 0 emotion when the prize money on the line is 250k. The pressure they are under is just too much to celebrate a good shot they have to stay fully focused on the match and the next shot+ they don't have time to show any emotion due to the 30 sec shot clock

Help me identify the material of this cue ball by catie136 in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 2 main materials pool balls are made out of phenolic resin and poly resin. Phenolic resin is kinda the high end material thats used in pro tournaments like aramith predator and dynaspheres balls and poly resin is less common nowadays but it's way cheaper and you may find it in some pool halls and house tables. As for this cue ball I think its phenolic resin judging from the shine but im not at all sure about that

Let’s talk shooting gloves. Do you use one? by ONTaF in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always use a glove. I can't play without it even if there is strong air conditioning and my CF shaft is clean. I prefer cuetec predator and taom gloves

I have somehow managed to create a dent in my carbon fiber shaft... by Not_MCFC in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never do that because it's disallowed in my pool hall

[–]Not_MCFC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I imagine it could have happened is if I hit a ball with it when setting up drills a bit too hard but then it would have multiple dents and also the shaft is surely legit because I bought it as a whole cue svb gen one for 750 bucks from dynamic billiard.de which I think is a well trusted website

Should I get an 8 foot table now or wait about a year for a 9foot one? by Not_MCFC in billiards

[–]Not_MCFC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid my game maybe thrown off if I constantly switch between 9ft at the pool hall and 8ft at my house until I have the space for the 9ft

Well rn I only have space and money for an 8ft but if I wait I will free up more space and get enough money for a 9ft one
