Where is the rule banning the "lift stroke" and the "sideways stroke" for close balls?

I found a 2min clip on Dr Dave's youtube channel. I'll send this to the player.

I still don't like the way the WPA rules are written. One must do a lot of searching and interpreting to come to the conclusion that the lift stroke is illegal. I wish the WPA would just adopt the Griffin rules in whole.

F/S GEORGE BALABUSHKA

itzel0101
Here’s an exceptional player crafted by none other than George Balabushka in the late 60s to early 70s. It’s remarkable how they were producing such high-quality work back then. This cue was previously owned by Steve, known as Tikkler here on AZB. Anyone who gets the opportunity to hold this cue will undoubtedly fall in love with it. It’s truly an outstanding cue, weighing approximately 19 ounces, and it comes with two original shafts, with the butt weighing around 15oz and each shaft about 4oz. The cue is in excellent condition and was restored by none other than Pete Tascarella.


Price is 13,500

The cue also comes with both LOA LETTERS

if you see it in a tournament you can stop it and find a ref or t.d. to not let it happen.

in a cash gambling game all you can do is try to stop it if you havent already said it before you start.
unless you somehow state in the game is to be tournament rules and by which organization.

in a cash game all those things go on and not worth arguing about. if a guy wants to take a foul say by touching the cue ball with his ferral so what.

This was in a 9 ball game. The 9 was about 1/4" off the rail and the cb was in a double kiss bank spot. So I rolled it on top of the 9, and they were perpendicular to the rail and about 1/4" apart from each other. A standard play in that situation.

When playing players who know the game, these micky mouse rules usually aren't stated. Otherwise you'd have to recite the whole rule book. One just doesn't expect a player to try a swipe up/lift shot.

Anyway, I stopped him, and he shot away from it with a normal stroke. But he was convinced it was legal.
