This is just wrong IMO. Shooting into a frozen ball with this stroke can’t produce a double hit. Look at the short video from Dr Dave...

Nothing. If the balls are frozen it's good. If they're not, it's a foul. It's that simple.

Okay, I have the definitive answer here! I uploaded the video to ChatGPT and asked it whether this was a legal hit. ChatGPT said...

*When Frozen Only* The rationale is it's not actually a "push" or a "double hit". There is only one contact, and the contact is normal...

That often gives the wrong answer -- in both directions.

I like sharing this 22 second clip to illustrate why it’s not a push...

Suppose the cue ball is frozen to the six ball which is next in a game of nine ball. What kind of shot should be allowed? Like snooker...

I don't think you can tell whether they were frozen or not after the hit. I was just saying that if the balls are not frozen as checked...

I just set two shots up - one with a tiny gap and one frozen - and I couldn’t see a big difference in the ball reaction. What should I...

Not with Taom chalk. But I think it's much surer to look at the reaction of the balls.

I think Pongers knows the rule and that the balls were frozen. I imagine that the ref was surprised by a shot he had never seen before...

I think after reading a bunch of fb posts on this that there are 2 main arguments: The first is if they were frozen or not. NO ONE here...

It defines it as legal because it specifically says it is legal. You can’t define it as legal any more clearly. Rule 3.8 can’t make...

You have it half right, in my opinion. In the first half of rule 3.7, where the balls are close but not touching, then if you shoot...

I still dont understand how 2nd paragraph of 3.7 defines this shot as a legal shot. This is 3.8 as there is no way that the cueball...
