Blackball75...Calling a ball off the break was referring to 14.1, where you can bank the corner balls in either the side or corner pockets off the break. Pretty tough to call a ball on the break in 8ball or 9ball...but you could respot anything made on the break, and continue shooting. You would call the ball being pocketed.

Hi Scott, interesting idea. It would no doubt appeal to many pros, but I'm sure would put off many amateur players, who after all, make up the vast majority of pool players.

Besides, how do you call a ball on the break? Are you calling to state which one you're hitting first, or which ball you're aiming at actually pocketing?

You would identify which ball is going in which pocket, just like any other shot.
