Do you have to put the black ball in the sides in pool?

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.


What ball do you hit last in pool?

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.


If you sink the white ball before the black ball goes in do you still lose?

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.


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