why not just play a real sport

[DrDaveBilliards]

@Roksonixx

Are you implying pool is a sport?

[Roksonixx]

@DrDaveBilliards Ok then it's not a sport it's just 2 guys playing with each others balls

[DrDaveBilliards]

@Roksonixx

Actually, that's a foul. :)

[DrDaveBilliards]

You're welcome.

ohk yeah. thats the why i've been playing by, thanks for confirming it.

[DrDaveBilliards]

The intended ball and pocket must be obvious or declared (e.g., with bank, combination, or carom shots). However, it doesn't matter how the declared ball gets to the declared pocket. You don't need to declare what the ball does on the way to the pocket.

i just read a very long and well mannered debate i believe.

it is very interesting to know the proper rules of 8ball pool.

i have one question though, is it true that you have to declear every shot you make. ie no "lucky balls"

one of my friend said its proper rules, but many others disagree

[DrDaveBilliards]

It might be a tough sell, but it's the rules.

I personally think the shot should be illegal, but I believe in following the official rules.

I'll bring it up to my hall owner and advocate for the shot!!!!

Dr. Dave thanks for the healthy debate I've just read. I agree but it is a tough sale to most.

If you speak with Jewett and he speaks with Byrne, tell him I said thanks. I would love to meet that guy, or at least write him and thank him for his wisdom!
