    Just a simple question, no thread seemed to cater to basic questions so said I'd make one :o

    Basically, if your opponent fouls and leaves you a free ball...can you just roll up behind the free ball (and touch it), leaving your opponent snookered? Or do you gave to explicitly play a safety shot/pot from a free ball?

    You may hit the nominated free ball and snooker him behind an other ball, but not the nominated one, otherwise it's a foul.

    This video pretty much explains it.

    Brilliant, thanks a mill. Love Barry's vids, have learned quite a bit from them. The amount of things you've to get right before you even play the shot never ceases to amaze me.
