It is a foul to prolong tip-to-cue-ball contact beyond that seen in normal shots.
Playing away from a frozen ball does not constitute having hit that ball unless specified in the rules of the game. It is the shooter?s responsibility to get the declaration before the shot. The cue ball is assumed not to be touching any ball unless it is declared touching by the referee or opponent. (Even though it may be legal to shoot towards such a touching or "frozen" ball, care must be taken not to violate the rules in the first paragraph if there are additional balls close by.) However, if the cue ball is touching an object ball at the start of the shot, it is legal to shoot towards or partly into that ball (provided it is a legal target within the rules of the game) and if the object ball is moved by such a shot, it is considered to have been contacted by the cue ball. If the cue ball is very close to an object ball, and the shooter barely grazes that object ball on the shot, the shot is assumed not to violate the first paragraph of this rule, even though the tip is arguably still on the cue ball when ball-ball contact is made. If the cue ball is close to but not touching an object ball and the cue tip is still on the cue ball when the cue ball contacts that object ball, the shot is a foul. If the cue stick contacts the cue ball more than once on a shot, the shot is a foul. If such a foul is accidental, it is a standard foul, but if it is intentional, it is 6.16 Unsportsmanlike Conduct. The shooter is responsible for the equipment he controls at the table, such as chalk, bridges, clothing, his hair, parts of his body, and the cue ball when it is in hand, that may be involved in such fouls. It is a foul to touch, move or change the path of the cue ball except when it is in hand or by the normal tip-to-ball forward stroke contact of a shot. It is a foul to touch, move or change the path of any object ball except by the normal ball-to-ball contacts during shots. Whether that ball is spotted depends on the rules of the game. It is a foul to drive an object ball off the table. If the shooter does not have at least one foot touching the floor at the instant the tip contacts the cue ball, the shot is a foul.
If no ball is pocketed on a shot, the cue ball must contact an object ball, and after that contact at least one ball (cue ball or any object ball) must be driven to a rail, or the shot is a foul. In those games which require the first object ball struck to be a particular ball or one of a group of balls, it is a foul for the cue ball to first contact any other ball. See 8.3 Ball Pocketed and 8.5 Driven off the Table. If the cue ball is pocketed or driven off the table, the shot is a foul. If a foul is not called before the next shot begins, the foul is assumed not to have happened. If several fouls occur on one shot, only the most serious one is enforced.
The following actions are fouls at pool when included in the specific rules of the game being played. 6.11 Bad Play from Behind the Head String
