- This is a a follow up question because I wanted to be certain. I first asked if I could hit my ball off the eight legally. Can the eight ball also then be used in a three ball combination as follows, One, Eight, Three? The three being the pocketed ball.
- David Kirscht, Elk River
- Yes, it is legal to use the 8-ball as the middle ball in a combination.
- Bill Stock
- In a game of Eight Ball can I hit my object ball off the eight ball then into my called pocket if I hit my ball first or is this a foul?
- David Kirsch, Elk River
- It is legal to play your ball off of the 8-ball as long as you hit your ball first.

- i was reading through previous questions and saw frank barcio's comment about how he switched from left to right handed because he is right eye dominant. i shoot right handed and do not have a lense in my right eye and am legally blind in that eye. i feel i play above average but should i start working on making a switch to left handed playing? do pros always play the same handed as the dominant eye?

Your first answer in why? If you play well now, why switch hands.
The "dominant eye" does not have a lot to do with shooting pool. As a matter of fact, allot of players play and they don't have a dominant eye.
Where you put your head over the cue is different for all players. We all must position our eye(s) so that we can point our cue in a straight line to the target. There are many examples in the pro ranks. Take a look at Earl Strickland, his cue is under his right ear, must be his dominant ear!
Answer two....NO!

- I am a 3 in league 8-ball and my boyfriend, whom I practice with often, is a 6. I know it is beneficial for me to practice with him, but how do I keep myself from getting frustrated when he beats me all the time? I start off shooting well, he makes crazy shots and wins, I get upset and then I start shooting poorly...how do I break that cycle? Thanks.

My wife and I had the same problem years ago.
The first thing we all must understand is: Play time is NOT Practice time!
The second thing to understand is that he's a better player than you, right now.
I suggest that you find a couple of drills that are beneficial to you and Practice them with out playing anyone. That is time well spent on a pool table.
