A safety is when you intentionally leave your opponent in a position where it is either difficult or impossible to make a shot.
If you made the shot off of the eight ball it only counts if you call it off the eight.
In pool, the rules for the black ball, or eight ball, depend on the specific game being played. In standard eight-ball, the objective is to pocket the eight ball after all of your designated balls (stripes or solids) have been cleared. You must call the shot and legally pocket the eight ball into a designated pocket; otherwise, you lose the game. So, yes, you do have to pocket the eight ball, but it must be done according to the rules.
In pool, the last ball you hit is the eight ball, which is a solid black ball. To win the game, a player must first pocket all of their designated balls (either stripes or solids) before legally pocketing the eight ball. It's important to call your shot on the eight ball in many variations of the game to ensure that you are actually aiming for it correctly. Hitting the eight ball before all your balls are pocketed results in a loss.
In the game of pool, sinking the white ball (cue ball) before the black ball (8-ball) results in a loss if it happens on the same shot. This is known as scratching, and it is considered a foul. The game is typically lost if the 8-ball is pocketed prematurely, regardless of whether the player has pocketed all their designated balls. The opponent would then have the opportunity to place the 8-ball in a suitable position and continue the game.
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.
When one grabs the ball after a missed shot in Basketball they have rebounded the 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.
an eight ball usually goes for around $170 - $200. Are they talking about an eight ball - dope (i.e. crack?) or an eight ball in pool? An eight ball in dope was about $150 - $175. I have NO idea how much a pool eight ball is.
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.
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.
