The white is as close to a red as it can be without touching. Is it okay to play that red providing it is the finest possibkle edge without being called for a push shot.

the rules have this covered:
sec 2.19. Push Stroke
A push stroke is made when the tip of the cue remains in contact with the cue-ball:
(a) after the cue-ball has commenced its forward motion; or
(b) as the cue-ball makes contact with an object ball except, where the cue-ball and an object ball are almost touching, it shall not be deemed a push stroke if the cue-ball hits a very fine edge of the object ball.Up the TSF! :snooker: -
Very misunderstood rule.. one of my bugbears when a player jacks his cue in the air, plays a push shot and then says it's not a push shot as he was cueing down on it! As a player you know if you've pushed it, and as a marker or ref you can see it, but its one people don't always own up to.Originally Posted by DeanH View Post---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't it more likely when playing down as the cue tip effectively rolls down the curvature of the ball?Originally Posted by perpetualboredom View PostComment
