Good or Bad?

Ye this is one difference in pool and golf. if u shoot anyway after a gameball is given and miss, whatever it was given. if u putt after ur opponent says it's good, it counts.

I played a guy like u quite a bit....i'd give him anything easy. meanwhile he'd have me shoot the 9 after he made the 8 and scratched even if it was a foot from a pocket lol. I just chuckled and made the ball as I should but I always thought it was odd to never concede a thing when the other guy is moving the game along and giving ducks.

I’m not sure what you mean by this, but the info is incorrect. In stroke play, you cannot concede any shot. In match play, you can. Once conceded, it’s done.No way to change the outcome, doesn’t matter if the opponent putts or not

I was referring more to common practice rather than letter of the law in the rule book. if u are playing a money match and it is stroke play, it is still common for gimmies to be given. But if u hit the putt and miss it counts.

by the rules, u cant concede in pool either. still happens all the time. but u can dog it all u eant once it has been given.

Im sure this varies depending on where u play. the above has been the norm in my experience.

If I miss I laugh and take the loss of game. It doesn't happen very often.
I don't see it as moving the game along. I see it as frustration by my opponent and they just want that rack to be over. Some players will concede at the 7 ball.
I don't give anyone a free ball. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
