In most Bowling competitions, players are not allowed to carry a spare ball in their pocket while competing. Regulations typically require that all equipment, including bowling balls, be placed in a designated area, such as a ball return or rack. However, it's always best to check the specific rules of the tournament or league you are participating in, as rules may vary.
Tennis players keep a ball in their pocket while playing to have a spare ball readily available for serving or when the current ball is lost or needs to be replaced.
Generally, they do not carry golf balls in their pockets.
No because they could drop one down with any one knowing
there is nothing in the Rules to stop any player, regardless of skill or age, to carry any extra balls in his pocket.charles
The shot pocket is the area in your shot when you have a "pocket" to hold the ball in. right before you shoot the ball, and before your guide hand leaves the ball when your arm is bent backwards and you are in the air about to shoot, when the ball is currently positioned is the shot pocket. with both hands on the ball and the ball is ready to shoot.
If the ball went in the pocket during the second shot, then it was sunk on that shot just as if it had been hit down by another ball.
None that I've every seen or heard of. A straight ball cannot hit the pocket at an angle sufficient to consistently carry a strike. The USonce determined that the optimal angle to hit the pocket is 4.5o. A straight ball hits the pocket at about 1.40. The best straight-ball bowler I've every met never had an average over 190. He didn't get a lot of strikes, but he never missed his spares.
If the spare comes on the second ball of the frame, you get an extra ball to finish the game. If the spare comes on the third ball of the frame (meaning the first ball of the frame was a strike) you do not get an extra ball.
Yes. If the previous shot is "over" , then the cueball will be replaced.
In 8 ball all balls can be shot into any pocket whereas in one pocket each player uses a corner pocket at the same end of table.
If you hit your opponent's ball into the pocket along with your own ball in pool, it is considered a legal shot and you continue your turn.
If you pocket your opponent's ball in pool, it is considered a foul. Your opponent will be awarded a ball in hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their next shot.
