Snooker is more difficult than other pool games. A player must first put the red balls into the pocket. After that, they must then position the colored balls at the designated spots. The sequence is predetermined. The player who accumulates the most points wins the game.
A rack of 15 red balls makes up a snooker set. Each ball has its own point value. A yellow ball has a value of two points; a green one three points; a blue one five point and a white one seven. To strike an opponent's soccer ball, a black ball can also be used.
Snooker balls are smaller in size than pool balls and are standard at 52.5mm in diameter. These balls are made usually of phenolic. The World Pool Billiard Association specifies the range of weights for these balls as 5+1/2 to 6.0 oz. They are also stated to have an accuracy tolerance of 0.060 inches, meaning they can differ in their weight by less that 0.5 oz. They have been used in many types of snooker.
To draw bettors, some players play pool as well as snooker. Many public betting places have pool tables in their establishments. The standard pool balls are larger and have a diameter of 5.7 cm to 6.0 cm. These balls are for straight, eight-ball, nine ball, and nine-ball. They are also used for the special televised pool sets that feature a spotted cue ball. There are also sets that use colored balls with point values.
The World Pool-Billiard Association requires that all snooker balls must be uniform in hardness and weight. This ensures the balls have an ideal roundness and is more durable than other balls. In fact, phenolic snooker balls last five times longer than those made from polymers. They also have a friction resistant rolling, which improves their longevity.
Snooker ball sets are usually 2+1/16 in in diameter, but there are also smaller sets available. For larger sets, you will need to have larger pockets. They also have a narrower throat that the standard. They can also be manufactured with five to six pockets.
