Your game can be affected by factors such as the table size, speed, and condition. This way, you can improve your overall game while having a blast.

Cutthroat Pool

Cutthroat Pool may not be familiar to you, but it has many similarities to 8-ball. The goal is to catch your opponent’s balls the best possible. A shot that does not end in a pocket is illegal. The winner is determined to be the player who has all of their balls. If not the winning player is declared the winner, the remaining balls will be assigned to the other participants.

One-Pocket Poot Pool

One-Pocket Pool, a variation of straight pool, is where object balls are shot to a particular pocket on the table. Any object ball is allowed and any ball that does not land in the target area on a legally valid stroke is considered a "scored." The game is lost if a player fouls three times in succession.

9-Ball

With a pool ball, a cue ball and a tableball, nine-ball games can be played. These games follow different rules than the other pool games. In 9-Ball pool, for example, you cannot call all the shots. The player who puts the 9-ball on the table is declared the frame winner. Penalties in 9-Ball games are similar to those in 8-Ball pool, but in 9-Ball pool, players are only allowed to shoot on the lowest-numbered ball on the table.


Rotation

A variety of pool table games are based on the concept of rotation. Pocket billiards is one example of a rotation game. This game requires that a player contact the lowest number ball with their cue ball to pocket the ball. As a result, it is important to follow the count of the balls. The game ends when the player has not been able to get a ball or is done. Any illegally obtained balls are removed.
