My question and possibly an amendment to follow; if a player in control of a moving ball in the goalie area lets say, is setting up, and the ball has rolled away, but not completely out of reach. This player then waits for ball to roll dead in a spot out of reach and thereby regains possession as per the rule. i would argue that in all cases players know their tables and the good spots, bad spots, rolls etc.. and will know just as we all know how the ball reacts on different tables we play on weekly. I would consider this an infraction of 8.4 as a player has without making any attempt to gain positive control, intentionally let the ball go dead ( as it was in a position wheras if they touch the ball it would roll forward to the 3 man opposing.) I know rules can be interpreted in many ways but i think the rules could have a few more direct wordings like "must make an attempt" prior to ball going dead.
What are your thoughts?

If the player hasn't exceeded the allotted time frame of possession, in this case 15 seconds, before the ball has stopped out of his reach or that of the opponent then there is no infraction. It is true that you can't intentionally put a ball out of reach without showing intent of trying to get the ball, but your scenario is not a player trying to intentionally put the ball out of reach. The spin of the ball is the determining factor as you describe it.
