How do you define "object ball", at least as it applies to 8-Ball? Is it a SPECIFIC ball of your group, either stripes or solids, or is it ANY ball of your group? For example, if your shooting solids and playing "call shot" 8-Ball and you call the two ball in a pocket but hit the three ball first, is it a foul?
