If you touch a ball with your shirt after you have shot the shot and the cue ball is not in the path of even coming close to touching the object ball you moved is it a foul?
question on a cue ball fouls only game
- Thread starter digitalcrack
- Start date
I have never seen that incident called foul, in a cueball fouls only game.
It depends. Does another object ball set in motion by the shot touch the shirted object ball? If so, the shot's a foul.digitalcrack said:

That would seem like all balls foul then...I interpret CB fouls as scratching, jumped from table and hitting the CB accidently {like on a warmup stroke}

Not according to the current BCA/WPA rules for situations without a referee. If you touch a ball and shoot a shot and the touching makes it impossible to restore the position that the balls would have gone to if you hadn't touched a ball, the shot's a foul. Suppose you're bridging over a ball and your stick touches the ball and the cue ball comes off a cushion and hits that moved ball. Foul. Suppose instead the cue ball hits a still ball and that still ball hits the moved ball. Foul. Suppose you touch a ball and reach out and grab the ball and put it back. Foul.Craig Fales said:
I think the IPT solution is better: all fouls.
I agree...all pro events should be all balls foul...

shot
I was shooting the 4 to get set on the 5. I moved the 6 with my shirt. 5 89 were not any where near the path or even close to touching the 6 ball.
the moved ball did not affect any balls in terms of going in any of the path of any balls in motion cue ball or any other balls on the table. My cue did not touch this ball at all. It was after I stroked the ball and my shirt moved the 6ball by accident. Thanks for your help guys.
