As with all our tables, standards are well kept and cloths are replaced regularly to ensure that you experience the best playing conditions out there. So there you have it, you can play both 8-ball and 9-ball on our American tables. Potting the nine ball in a combination shot wins too, as long as the first ball you hit is the lowest number ball on the table. The nine ball should be the last ball on the table - whoever pots this wins!Ĩ. Miss a pot & it’s your opponent’s turn to pick up where you left off.ħ. You opponent either takes the next shot, or asks you to play the next shot.Ħ. You don’t have to hit another ball but it’s OK if you do.ĥ. Hit the white ball anywhere on the table. If you don’t have a clear shot at the lowest number ball after the break, tell your opponent you are playing a push out shot. If you foul, your opponent gets the white ball in hand and can place it anywhere on the table (one shot only).Ĥ. The remaining balls can be placed randomly in the rack.Ģ.You have to hit the one ball first. We provide diamond racks, so why not give it a try?ġ. The nine-ball version of pool is popular at pro-level with the annual Mosconi Cup contested between the best players in Europe and USA in what is known as the Ryder Cup of pool. The winner is the player that legally pots the nine-ball once all others are down. The objective is to pot each consecutive ball based on its number. As the name suggests, the game is played with just nine balls (plus the cue ball) instead of the usual 15. There’s also an exciting format of the game known as nine-ball pool. Hitting the black ball off the table is another way to immediately hand your opponent victory.Ĩ. A player will automatically lose the match if they accidentally pot the black ball before they've potted all of their designated balls or if they pot the cue ball and black ball in the same shot. A foul can be given for failing to hit any ball on the table with the cue ball, hitting the cue ball into a ball that isn't designated to you before any other one or potting the cue ball accidentally.ħ. A foul can occur in a number of ways and results in the opposing player having the ball in hand (meaning that they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their next shot).Ħ. Keep potting the right balls and you'll stay at the table.ĥ. If a player fails to pot, the opposing player comes to the table. It becomes that player's objective to pot all the stripes and then eventually the black ball in order to win. If a player pots a stripe, then the striped balls are now allocated to that player. If none of them end up in the pockets following the break, then the two players exchange shots until one of them drops. The objective of the game is to pot either the spot or striped balls using the cue ball. 4 of the balls in the rack must bounce off the cushion. The first player hits the cue ball into the rack. There are some variations of the rules that often differ but it depends on what you agree with your mates.Ģ. Sounds fun, right? The eight-ball version of the game in the States is largely similar to its English counterpart. They are larger tables, blue cloths and balls that consist of stripes and spots instead of reds and yellows. Our American pool tables are what really set us apart.
