use of a free ball

[phoenixraker]

I was playing a game of snooker the other day and my opponent left me a free ball I nominated green and planted it on too a red over a pocket

but thinking on this i was not sure if this is a foul as i potted a ball other then the free ball

could you please advise

thx

That is an acceptable shot, as long as you hit the green first (which it sounds like you did), or simultaneously with the red.

If the red alone goes in (as in this case), that scores 1 point. Similarly, if the green alone goes in, that would be 1 point. Had both balls been potted, you would have scored 2 points.

Yes absolutely fine.
