What happens if I make my ball then the opponents ball in 8 ball?

If you struck the 8 ball first as a legal shot, and the cue ball or eight ball pockets the opponents ball, this is not loss of game under league play and typical local rules, regardless of whether the 8 ball goes in or not. However, under some local rules, if you failed to call this as a part of your shot, it is may not be allowed, resulting in either spotting the 8 ball or loss of game.


When shooting your last ball or black ball can you call the shot off your opponents ball legally?

No. The first ball contacted by the cue ball must be the 8 ball to be a legal shot. However, if you use the opponent's ball as a carom shot after hitting the 8 ball, yes, this is a legal shot.

If you have two balls left on the pool table and one is the eight ball and the seven and you put them both in on the same turn the seven before the eight would you win?

No you would lose. The 8 ball cannot be pocketed without it being a foul in the game of 8 Ball unless it is the first ball struck by the cue ball. However, in a "friendly game" that is not being played under BCA or APA or other rules, if you describe the shot, this type of shot may be played for a win if the opponent agrees.
