Oct 12, 2016 · The CB continued into another ball of his, and proceeded to hit a rail. Therefore, other than the jump, the shot was legal. I called it a foul, he (and most others in the pool hall) said that since it was unintentional, it was not a foul and I was to proceed. All of the rules explicitly state that scooping is not allowed.

Aug 31, 2006 · JUMP SHOT: A jump shot is when the cue ball is struck with the cue tip in a downward fashion for the purpose of elevating or jumping the cue ball over an impeding object ball to achieve a legal hit. It is a foul to jump the cue ball by "scooping" it over the impeding ball.

When a jump shot is played ALL of the factors for a pool shot are still present, speed and spin have to be chosen AND the player has to add trajectory to the mix so jumping is actually HARDER than a regular pool shot.

So I can go get my jump/break cue to execute a jump shot in mid game, as long as I use the full cue. Room rules can over-ride this rule, so if the room doesn't allow jump shots, that is the rule that must be followed.
