A question on a foul in nine ball

Go to bed Stone!

This is my last post on this JR, I'm gonna kill this thread. I respect your vast experience in competition, but you are saying something that sounds different than what I am describing. In my description both cue ball and object ball are frozen to same rail, not just the cue ball. This tends to happen in one pocket since at the beginning of the game player try to hide behind balls that are on the bottom rail. A lot of times, the cue ball will freeze to the bottom rail and the closest object ball could be froze to the same rail. If you so choose to shoot at the said object ball, something needs to get another rail, and that rule applies to all pocket pool games.

And noone with any sense would try to masse into/around that froze ball and hit the same rail. I'm pretty sure Efren did it once on an Accustats tape, but I'll play anyone but him that tries that shot for his money.

Just show me one source and I'll be happy. Get a quote from a BCA ref. Find it in any book.

BTW, I simply said "masse". I wasn't referring specifically to Efren's 1-pocket reversal though I could have been. In 9-ball, there's a plethora of situations I can think of where I could easily employ a masse and achieve a positive result.

A "plethora" are you sure about that?


Yep, I'm pretty sure about that. I've got at least 4 off the top of my head right now. I'm not speaking of major, over the shoulder masses where the cue-ball does some ridiculous break. I'm simply thinking of slightly jacked, using a bit of english. Yeah, I can think of plenty.
