As the title says why aren't kickbacks legal?
I don't know of any banks that could be accidently made if you missed the object ball on the way by, so that can't be it.
Sometimes rules need to change.
Why only 3 strikes in baseball?And 4 balls for a walk??Why are footballs not round,,they are balls??

I am not waxing poetic.
A kick bank is a bank!
On the other hand it could be argued that kick banks might be allowed. For example kicking the CB into a rail then into an OB which then banks into a called pocket.

Doc,
Are you suggesting that this shot would not be accepted in a game under existing rules?
I always thought they were legitimate bank shots. If not, why not?

I certainly agree. Can anyone show me the rule that would make this not so?
Rule # 1 in bankpool...
You must contact the object ball first. And it must go clean,( that is without touching any other balls)
IMO, bank pool is the most pure form of pocket billiards there is. I hope it stays that way.
Oh and BTW it has the least amount of luck than any pocket billiards game. this face goes out to Steve B. John B.
thanks john for clarifying that
where are the bank pool rules available to read??
or is it the understood way passed on from generations??
just askin...you know i am in your corner...
