Where do you spot the cue ball?

On the break, the first shot of the game, the cue ball must be played from behind the head string (i.e., in the “kitchen”). If an object ball is pocketed on the break, you get to continue with your turn, unless you scratch (i.e., you pocket the cue ball) on the break. 2.

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.
