Is this a foul?

[finabb]

Your hairs/hair on your forearm touches a ball whilst your cueing but it so light a touch the ball doesn't move, foul or no foul?

[Terry Davidson]

FOUL!!!!!!!! But who is going to notice but yourself so you must be pretty honest

Foul.

Albeit a hair on your forearm, you have 'touched' the ball. Same would apply if you were walking round the table, deciding your next stroke, and your waistcoat or shirt touched a ball. It is still a 'foul'.

So those with long forearm hairs are very disadvantaged when playing shots that need bridging over other balls!?!

Best to keep them covered up!

Is this why you don't see a gorrilla playing snooker????

[The Statman]

I once fouled a guy who had long curly hair (i.e. on top of his head!) because his hair touched the black which was just behind his right shoulder.

Immediately after I called it, he turned to me and said "Was it my hair?" with a knwoing look that I would say yes. He nodded and turned away from the table and as he did so I wondered why he'd not had a haircut or tied it back. It had obviously happened before!

who would call a foul against themselves for this or let it go?

[Souwester]

Snooker has always been a game of integrity and honesty (by and large) and players do (and should) call fouls against themselves if they believe they have infringed the rules.

You'd have thought they would have known.

Did not know that one..

I always thought that the ball has to move for it to be called a foul...

her hair is no where near the balls........ but i would still call a foul on here though...
"What for ref"? she would say
"It's a very complicated foul, let me explain it over a couple of beers" says me.

Hello There,

I think you should try to hookup with one of the professional lady players on link at bottom of this thread, they are not bad looking. Ha Ha I think I have been there, no female pros here in Canada and most are not great looking. Cheers I liked this post.
