Can you move the cue ball twice?

Yes, per BCA rules, you can continue to move the cue ball as many times as you would like, until you execute a shot (which requires a forward stroking motion). Players may use any part of the cue stick to move the cue ball, including the tip, but not with a forward stroke motion.

Can the cue ball hit the 8-ball twice?
If the cue stick strikes the cue ball more than once on a shot, or if the cue stick is in contact with the cue ball when or after the cue ball contacts an object ball, the shot is a foul. (See Rule 2.20 for judging this kind of shot.)

Is a cue ball smoother than the earth?
Therefore, it would appear that a pool ball (even the worst one tested) is much smoother than the Earth would be if it were shrunk down to the size of a pool ball. However, the Earth is actually much smoother than the numbers imply over most of its surface.
