Can you shoot backwards off a foul in pool?

Answer 1

If I am understanding your question correctly, you are asking that with a cue in the kitchen after a scratch in eight ball, can you hit an object ball that is also in the kitchen. If this is the question, then the answer is absolutely yes. You must place the cue ball as close to the kitchen line as possible, make sure you hit the long rail outside of the kitchen, and put enough English (side spin) to come back into the kitchen and hit the ball you are trying for. It take practice and quite a bit of English to pull off this shot. Depending on where the object ball is located, you may have to jack up the back of your cue stick for maximum English.

Answer 2

If it slides.
