Straight in Shots

Q:

Is it a foul when the cue ball contacts an object ball (in 8 ball) at a straight in shot, without contacting a rail?

Thanks

A:

Hello,

The answer to your question is no. It is a foul when the cue ball contacts neither an object ball nor a rail. If it contacts either of them, it is a legal shot.
