Foul, spot one

Thanks for the quick answer

That is the same for any pool game, if you don't hit a object ball it is a foul.--Smitty

 

[NH Steve]

And doing it intentionally is a common defensive move in One Pocket -- you lose one ball, but it is typically used to either get out of a nasty trap or to put your opponent in a nasty trap, when you have no natural path off a ball to accomplish that.

 

[rich htx]

But then does the other person get ball in hand or do they play it where it lays

 

[crabbcatjohn]

Play it where it lays.

no ball n hand

no ball n hand

you dont get ball in hand in one pocket unles the cue ball scratches in a pocket
or goes off the table
and then it would be ball in hand in the kitchen (behind the head string)
so just like taking an intentional scratch you play the cue ball where it lands

And do you have to contact a rail with your cue ball or object ball?

 

[cincy_kid]

And do you have to contact a rail with your cue ball or object ball?

Either one is good as long as it happens after you contact the object ball.

a legal hit is cue ball /object ball one or the other to a rail
or make the ball
