The shooter didn't wait one second before shooting after adjusting his goalie rods and bringing his left hand back to his passing rod.

This is going to absolutely blow your mind, but just because it doesn't happen in a 15-second clip, that doesn't mean it didn't happen. If you're asking why though, I don't mind answering your question. And that answer is, "It goes to the 5-bar instead of the 2-bar because that's what the rule is."

@@HelloIamClay Thanks Clay, but still not understanding why it wouldn't go to the opponents 2 bar like in all(?) other cases when the ball leaves the table? I guess I'll have to read the play rules (again) to see what I missed lol.

He sure made picking the ball up look easy.

@@greghuff4139 Yes he did. I'm jealous as hell lol I have all kinds of control once it's up there, just can't get it there lmao

They changed the rule. If you shoot an aerial and it goes off the table then the ball is awarded to the opponents five rod.

i didnt see anything illegal either, but what did they think was illegal? (maybe the momentary pause in play as Castillo set his 2 bar- and then just shot from the 5 bar without touching another figurine?) But of course a deadball can be advanced from the 5 bar if shot into the net (in this case).

In other circumstances, the same play would be illegal. For example, if this were doubles and a player took his hand off the handle and then shot like that, it would be an infraction. Or even in singles, if the ball were set on the 3-bar and the same movement with the left hand occurred, that would also be an infraction. But in singles on the 5-bar and also in singles on the 2-bar, the one-second rule does not apply.

This event was in April at the Hall of Fame Classic in Vegas.

There *should* be a lot of things, yet here we are... 🤣

D-

If it's interesting, it will stay. Otherwise, it will be skipped. Thanks for watching!

Loose grip w/ my left hand on a hard shooting rollover? Neverrrr! Lol. I'll take this exception and keep all the time the ball leaves the table. But yeah, everyone could use a little grip loosening in general. :)

@@HelloIamClay great match... impressive!

@@SarahPalinQuit Thanks!

A ref can review video to make a call on anything that the players don't agree to. To say no call should be overturned without a ref is just inviting unfair play. The rules are great as they are.

Looked like he was goofing around and accidentally tapped the ball forward.

0:45 I think is a better spot

🤣 Skill game!

In singles, if the ball is set on the forward shooting rod (i.e,. the 3-rod), you can't shoot immediately after adjust other rods. In this case, the left hand of the shooter was brought back up to the passing rod and he shot too quickly (i.e., he didn't wait the minimum one second). Does that help?

@@modernfoos yes, It does. Thank you

In singles, the rule you're referring to only applies when the ball is at a set position on the 3-bar. It doesn't apply when the ball is on the 5-bar or 2-bar. Good question!

@@modernfoos ah I see, thanks!

Welcome home. :) Tell a friend!

I guess he figured he's against a better player and his best chance is to be able to surprise Ryan. So rather than show a lot more of himself in a game he probably loses, he goes to a new game where it's more likely to have value. Not sure I'd endorse it as a strategy though.

Why do you intentionally misspell his name every time you comment in a video with him?

​@@HelloIamClay idk Why I put A before Y every time. on my search bar it was also Rayn there

@@potterheads5340 Ah okay, I just thought it was a troll of some sort. :) To answer your question, there’s a lot of words I’d use to describe Ryan, and arrogant definitely isn’t one of them. Cool dude.

Actually, if you turn to your bible in Commentations 3:16, you'll see that it says the people who own the mics are also the same people who get to choose what the commentary is about. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome, when did you play and where?

Thanks for the feedback!

Agreed! The full match that this came from was uploaded today, and it's a lot of fun.

Indeed! It happened in another match after this, too. Gotta watch these top players! Lol.

It's a rule people commonly get wrong. The rules are clear on this shot though and it's fully within what is allowed.
