Try different games to improve your skill at pool. Different games require different concentration levels and focus, so you should try different games at different tables and under different conditions. Your game is affected by table size, speed and table conditions. This will allow you to improve your overall game and have a lot of fun.
Cutthroat Pool
Cutthroat Pool may not be familiar to you, but it has many similarities to 8-ball. The object of the game: to take your opponent's balls and make them pocketable in the best way possible. If a shot doesn't land in a pocket, it's illegal. The player who has all of his or her balls pocketed is declared the winner. If not, the rest of the balls are for the other players.
One-Pocket Poot Pool
One-Pocket Pool is an alternative to straight pool in which the object balls must be shot to a pocket on the table. Any object ball may be selected by any player. Any ball that is legally placed in the target pocket during a stroke is deemed a "scored balls". The game is canceled if a player fouls more than three times.
9-Ball
You can play nine-ball games on a pool table with a pool cue and a table ball. These games have different rules to other pool games. For example in 9-Ball, you can't call all the shots. The winner of a frame is the player who pots the 9-ball. 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
Many pool table games can be based on rotation. One type of rotation game is pocket billiards. In this type of game, a player must contact the lowest numbered ball with their cue ball in order to pocket the ball. As a result, it is important to follow the count of the balls. When a player fails or can't pocket a basketball, the turn is over. All illegally collected balls are pulled out.
Wooden Kelly marbles
Wooden Kelly marbles (also known as Kelly wood) are used in billiards. They can be used with a Kelly shaker. You can use them by up to 16 players. You can buy these marbles in stores or online.
Convertible tables
A convertible pool table is a great option for those with smaller spaces. These tables are unique because they can double as a pool table or a dining room table. They are lightweight so they can be converted easily from one purpose to the next.
