How to Avoid Common Fouls in Pool: Part 2

Video Transcript

This is Richard on behalf of expertvillage.com. I'm going to continue explaining a few falls and game situations that occur in a game of 8 ball. Accidentally moving a ball during the game of 8 ball is not a fall. Provided that that ball moved was not the cue ball. Moving the cue ball at any time during the game other than having the ball in hand is a fall. You come into contact with a cue ball while reaching for the chalk or reaching for a bridge or the bridge bumps the cue ball, all that's going to be considered to be a fall. A cue ball is considered a hot ball, it cannot be contacting except with the tip of the cue. Now going back to moving of the balls, if you're at the table and you inadvertently bump an object ball with your hand, it is your opponent that replaces this ball or he may choose to just leave the ball in its new position. If you inadvertently move a ball, then you reach out, grab a ball and put it back to where it originally started from, then that would be considered a fall if so called. If you have cue ball in hand and you're placing the cue ball in say a tight situation. You're trying to set it between a couple of balls, you come in contact with that cue ball with one of those object balls, that is going to be considered a fall. Another possibility of a fall occurring is shooting the cue ball or picking up the cue ball while balls are still in motion. All the balls must come to a complete stop before the next shot is taken. If you're jumping from one shot to the other and balls are still rolling, that is considered a fall.
