no foul if cue ball hit object ball then hit rail
That is a legal hit according WPA rules. The cue ball was not frozen to the rail prior to the shot, and as long as the cue ball hits the object ball first, and one ball is driven to the rail, it is a legal shot.
8.4 Driven to a Rail
A ball is said to be driven to a rail if it is not touching that rail and then touches that rail. A ball touching at the start of a shot (said to be “frozen” to the rail) is not considered driven to that rail unless it leaves the rail and returns.

GOOD HIT
If object ball is frozen either:
A. The object ball must go to another rail or object ball can strike another ball causing that ball to strike ANY rail including the same rail where the object ball started.
B. The cue ball must strike a rail AFTER contact with the object ball, this includes the same rail as the object ball is called frozen on.
C. Also if frozen object ball is struck with the cue ball, leaves the rail on which it was frozen, contacts another ball and then strikes the same rail where it started at. That is also a good hit.

Foul , the OB is on dead rail, it has to hit another rail, or CB has to hit another rail. This is one of them fouls that come a lot in one pocket safety plays, players have to agree on it before match starts.
You must be smoking some good shite....LOL
If the cue ball strikes any rail including the same rail the object ball is frozen too After contact with the object ball that is a GOOD HIT..........End of story :thumbup:
