Hi, If a player can directly hit an "on" ball and he has another "on"ball on the table but the second "on" ball is totally snookered, is it legal for the player to refuse to go for the "on" ball he can directly hit and attempt to hit the snookered "on" ball? i.e. is it a deliberate offence that would lead to loss of frame? We assume here that a genuine attempt is made to hit the snookered "on" ball and the player fails in the attempt and fouls. (The player has refused to hit the visible "on" ball as it is advantageous for him) Regards Barry |

As long as referee is happy with genuine attempt, it should be ok. He would have to hit a cushion after contact, as he was not snookered. |

It would only be loss of frame if there was no path through to the 'snookered' on ball |

Hello, Thanks. But swerving off two cushions is ok so long as there was at least one achievable path, however complex, and the attempt was genuine? |
