The title is my hypothesis. here’s the explanation:

When playing, sometimes balls just pops on our while ball, as if the client had them in the wrong place, and when we collide with it server-side its position is refreshed on the client.  
it’s not an uncommon bug, I noticed it a few times already.

I don’t know if my report is understandable enough

I’ve also had this happen. I had to have someone point to where the 8-ball was because it was nowhere near where the ball was on my screen.

I’m assuming it’s not too dissimilar from the [Minigolf/Ball Race desyncs](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/0-11-1-0-golf-moving-objects-are-desyncd-and-not-in-the-position-they-appear-to-be/39236) or when phyisics items in Condos are in completely different locations between the hosts and guests.
