Quote: \"Ball in hand\" means you are allowed to place the cue ball anywhere on the table (with the exception of fouls on the break which result in \"ball in hand\" behind the head string) and shoot any of your balls(or the 8, if all your category of balls has been pocketed.)
Wow, you learn something new every day. I always thought that 9 Ball was "ball in hand" anywhere on the table, while 8 Ball was always "ball in hand" behind the break line.
I've been playing it wrong all these years.
