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.
yes you can
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.
In 8 Ball this is loss of game under most rules. The 8 ball must be the object ball and struck first under most rules.
Because it's an eighth of an ounce
No.. There is no semi-circle in 8 Ball. Therefore, no shot can be made from a semi-circle in the game. However, any called shot striking a legal object ball first is legal in 8 Ball with ball-in-hand as long as the cue ball is placed properly (in the kitchen for a foul on the break, anywhere on the table at other times), although there are ways to foul.
no
no
If the black 8 ball is the object ball and a foul occurs during the shot, the game is over. This foul is loss of game.
No, if you mean in the game of 8 Ball. In 8 Ball, pocketing the 8 ball is required to be its own shot to be considered "legal contact", so hitting any other numbered ball first, your's or opponent's, is not legal contact with the 8 ball.
It is a foul.
it is sortof like a trick shot except the ball is surrounded by the opposing balls
