Using the rest

[peter brice]

Hello,

Is it a foul if when using the rest , the rest is totally placed upon the side rail and none of the rests feet are in contact with the bedcloth.

[Nick Kirkman]

To my knowledge there is no foul committed. I have seen professional players hold the rest in the air while playing a shot which Is a rearity and not often seen but it's not a foul.

[James Robinson]

Yeah as nick said..............mark williams is prob the master at holding the rest in the air to cue over other balls..............so with that not being a foul i would def say that the shot ur going on about is not a foul either.

Thanks Sean and all the boys who have answered this for me. l now have to eat  " Humble Pie" at the club and apologise as l thought it was a foul.

[Sean Croft]

Your welcome peter, although you could ask your friend to teach me to play shots mid air with the rest classy!  :laugh:
