Free ball situation

[bally969]

Right, lets say just colours in play, after a foul I have a free ball. yellow up table, I take black
and roll off it behind blue, black comes off cushion and rolls in front of yellow [ ball on ] would this be a foul, as the blue is the effecting snookering ball, also green or brown could also be between yellow and cue ball.

[Souwester]

You've answered your own question. Blue is the effective snookering ball, as it is the nearest obstruction to the cue ball, preventing a clear path to the yellow. Therefore no foul.

Yes its Not a Foul.

As long as you havent Snookerd the Opponent Directly behind the Ball you Used as a FREE BALL its Not a Foul.


Gaz.
