Once you have taken the penalty and hit the new ball, you may not hit the old ball again. Play on with the penalty and the new ball.
No, not automatically. It is a 5-yard penalty. If the penalty moves the ball past the line to gain, then it is a first down.
theres no penalty, you just look stupid
Yes, it is considered a scratch if the cue ball hits the 8 ball in a game of pool.
The referee must decide whether the ball exited the field before or after the foul.If the foul happened first, then a penalty kick would be awarded.If the ball exited the field first, then a goal kick or corner kick is awarded depending on who touched it last. It cannotbe a foul, as the ball was already out of play. It could be misconduct depending on the severity.
If you're referring to a foul, it's ball in hand for the incoming player, provided it is a cue ball foul (i.e. scratch, ball off table, hitting opponents ball before your own, etc.). I believe some fouls result in loss of turn, but not ball in hand (i.e. - an object ball leaves the table).
During a match, no. If the player misses and the ball remains in play, play continues. If however it is a penalty shoot out and the penalty is missed then yes, the ball is dead.
A ball in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Yes, when you scratch in pool, you do not remove a ball from play. Instead, it is a foul and your opponent gets ball in hand.
it is a scratch throw when you throw the ball it will go straght
At this point you have already made the decision to take the penalty and should proceed with the 2nd ball Answer by FutureLPGAgolfer Once you DROP, there is no going back, even if you havn't hit yet and you found it, the penalty counts still and you MUST hit the second ball.
