9 Ball - Introduction

   Only balls 1 through 9 are used in the nine-ball game. The players can encounter many exciting and irritating situations in the nine-ball game. In most other games, you have a choice of which ball you will shoot first. Not in this one. 9-Ball is a rotation game, meaning that you have to shoot the lowest-numbered ball on the table. That ball can be used in a Combination, and another ball can be the one that is finally pocketed, but you always have to hit a certain ball first. The game also involves an element of luck. In most billiard games, the layout after the break is a matter of luck to some degree, but luck is even more of a factor in 9-ball. You will need to learn how to shoot bank shots, kick shots, combinations, jump shots, curve shots, etc., to complete the game.
