The ONLY place on the table you don't concede when giving up BIH

It’s delicate, but you can hook them on the point potentially. I tried it with the OB frozen with about a quarter ball overlapping the side pocket opening. Give yourself maybe 10 degrees of angle with the cueball on the opposite side of the pocket and hit a very soft shot approximately full ball. You need the cueball to barely get the rail but if you do you get a corner hook. Try it at home and see if I’m crazy or set it up wrong.

Because then he puts the cue ball on the side pocket shelf and shoots the nine straight into the upper right corner. :ROFLMAO:

Bob this came up tonight. Player has BIH and does exactly what you are saying, putting the CB inside the pocket on the shelf to shoot outwards on a ball. Suppose while placing the CB there while the player still has it "in hand", he drops the CB in the pocket and it scratches. No ball is touched. Is it a foul? We were split at the pool hall. I said no foul.
 
No foul, any more than if it was dropped on the floor. Dropped on a ball is a foul, even under some BIH rules.
