Question

When playing 8-ball pool, and your last ball is the 8-ball, can you combo another ball to make the 8-ball?

Answer 1

No...clean legal shot. You can't call any other ball off of someone else's so, why would you think the 8 was different?

Answer 2

no, you have to make the 8ball with the cueball, if you do teh combo, you will scratch.

Answer 3

You can't use another players ball to make the 8 ball shot. It's a scratch.

Answer 4

A combination cannot be used to legally pocket the 8-Ball

Answer 5

NO  If you're playing in a bar check their rules.  Some places have their own ways of winning a game

Answer 6

For a legal shot, the cue ball must strike the 8 ball first, or a rail and then the 8 ball.  If it strikes another object ball first, that is a scratch.
