That means if you decide you want to play strictly in number progression, the color order is a handy hint to find the next ball you need to play. The balls are racked up in a traditional pyramid, and there’s no particular order in which the balls should go into the triangle. When 3-ball began, everyone had more of a choice about the particular balls they tried to pot. Similarly, the three colors of the balls in a game of 3-ball have become an instantly recognizable trademark of the game. Some colors tend to show dirt more quickly than others - ironically, black is one felt color that starts to look dirty very fast. Even snooker, while technically depending on numbers of points scored, has the black ball as its most highly prized color. Even when there are no more red balls, the run to the end, where players aim to pot the balls in ascending point order, ends with the 7-point black ball.All except 9-ball pool, where the reward that clinches the game is golden. If the ball misses, player A must leave his or her dowel, run to get the ball, and start again.

Any break composed entirely of red balls and black ones until the final clear-up is likely to be a game-winning run. Then the other player gets the opportunity to build their own break. A string of balls potted consecutively is known as a ‘break.’ A player keeps playing until they fail to pot a ball. The head string is denoted by the middle markers or diamonds on either side at the head of the table. If a player pots the cue ball in a side pocket, the opposing player can place the ball anywhere on the table. It’s also the only game where one player can do almost all the work, potting the first eight balls, only for their opponent to pot the 9-ball and win! When the first player pots a ball, they are able to decide whether they will play spots or stripes. Unlike most other billiard games, there are two balls that have to be placed on specific spots. However, between each of the colored balls, you have to pot a red ball into one of the pockets. You might think that’s self-evident, but hey, there were 15 balls and the cue ball in a friendly game of 8-ball, so you should pretty much assume nothing in billiard games.

In fact, pre-marked training cue balls are available for those who want to get better at pool and learn to use English to their advantage. Oftentimes, what is billiards you need to hit the ball on an angle to get it to go where you want. You can even get transparent billiard balls filled with glitter. Superman even left his lucky chalk. It calmed me down and made me see things from the newbie's point of view, not just a Tournament Director (even tho I have to do that, too). I started this site to share things with friends and they encouraged me to post more and now I’m trying to share things with the world - indoor and outdoor sports, and board and bar games. I write about things like Bocce, Croquet, Billiards, Darts and other fun ways to enjoy time with your friends and family! The cue ball is solid white, the ‘8-ball’ solid black - though here it has no number on it, it’s just widely accepted that it behaves like the American 8-ball. The rest of the balls are divided into seven red balls and seven yellow balls, which take the place of the spots and stripes of American 8-ball. The same rules apply - the first ball potted gives the player the choice to play ‘reds’ or ‘yellows,’ but there’s no chance to play numerically.

Nevertheless, a cool feature of the 8-ball pool colors is that their sequence is repeated for both spots and stripes. The objective is to pocket all your designated balls (either solids or stripes) and then sink the 8 ball to win the game. It’s interesting that apart from original billiards, 9-ball is the only variant so far not to have the black ball as its ultimate aim, the pinnacle of the game. As far as we know, he never followed up that line with "Beware of game-stealing 9-ball douchebags! Roberto Gomez looks far more composed now. Gomez cuts down the lead to just 1 rack. The crowd's chant seems to be the elixir of life for Gomez! For the non-professional players, it’s easy to see why these two table sports seem the same thing. Yes, really, it’s a thing. But in more serious games, where there may be betting on the results, the color of the balls usually reverts to the yellow, blue and red combination. But for the most part, the color of billiard balls has become a visual language.
