Why clean the cue ball?

Because pool balls come into contact with various things, from hands to the cue stick to the chalk on the cue stick to the table felt, and so much more, they can get really dirty fast. Therefore, to keep them in optimal shape, you'll want to clean ideally after every use if you're an avid pool player.

Is a cue ball smaller?
Generally, with older balls, the cue ball (CB) will be slightly smaller and lighter than the object balls (OBs) because it takes more abuse.

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.)

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.
