Is this a real rule in pool?
My friend claims that when you play pool (billards), that when the cue ball is right up next to a side rail, that you can move it a little bit so it isn't close to the rail. Is this a real rule, or just something he made up to help him win?
Answers:
Neither in Billiards, pocket billiards, or snooker are you allowed to move the Que ball if it is frozen to a rail (unless in pool after a foul and only in certain games like 9 ball, ball in hand).
That's according to official rules.
Some house rules may allow such foolishness. Obviously a house where people cannot play. (Your friend was conning you or trying to)
Any good Billiards, pool, or snooker player can make a shot where the Que ball is frozen the the rail Sure its a harder shot.
But that's the way the ball bounces!
Take it from a champion pool player your friend just made up this rule!! He should take a cue stick up his * for such a blatant lie.

Hmm, I will say that is made up...but not sure. I know there are situations where you can move the ball, but that usually follows a foul. (like a scratch). As far as I know though pool is a "play it where it lies" kinda game. Heck, that is the strategy of some players is to put the cue in places where the other play cannot take a shot so they can try to get get "ball in hand".Do you think Shaun Murphy will break the Crucible Curse this year and retain the title.?

I had a friend in yahoo that yahoo have taken off all the way off?
it is not an offically accepted rule, and it actually states that you are able to use the rubber end (the fatter one) of your cue-stick as a spacer if the cueball is in direct contact with the bumper.No, you are not allowed to move the cue ball at all unless the other player scratches (white ball/cue ball goes into the pocket) then the other player can move it behind the line in the kitchen (one side of table where u start). tell your friend he is ful of s t and stop cheating. Hope this helps.
How to get the ball when the ball scratch in pool?
He probably didn't make it up, but it is definetely NOT a real pool rool. Its one of those unofficial rules that some people play by. For example a lot of people play that if you scratch on the break its a loss, but it is not (unless you make the eight ball also). But the only time I have seen that rule played is with kids.Why did Ding Junhui cry at last nights Masters final?

Yes, there is, we called it girls rules here in Aust. Because the pub cue ball being smaller and when it gets right up against the cushion it very hard to hit, so they move it a little away off the cushion As appose to it being in the rule book the answer is no.this is not a real rule... it was definitely made up...

He fabricated it. I've played in both the major leagues in the US ( APA and BCA ) and neither has this rule. Perhaps a house rule.I wish it was,but no it's not a real rule in tournament play.
