Posted by admin on September 25th, 2007 filed in Billiard Basics


Billiards is a game you can play on a snooker table - but, arguably, its much easier and more fun than snooker itself. Eight-ball billiards, especially, is one of those games that you can just pick up and play with only a little explanation, and you can often find tables for it in pubs and bars.

Eight-ball billiards is actually played with 16 balls: one white cue ball, seven solid-coloured balls (numbers 1 to 7), seven striped balls (numbers 9 to 15) and one black ball. The name of the game comes from the fact that the black ball is the most important ball, and its number is 8 - making it the eight-ball.

Billiards Cue Construction

Posted by admin on September 4th, 2007 filed in Billiard Cues


In this article well focus on the last piece of billiard improvements which is the cue itself.

Cue construction, even in the early days, was more an art than a science.

They were probably worth as much as the whole table itself.

Billiards

Posted by admin on September 1st, 2007 filed in Billiards Info


Billiards is an age-old game and to some, a serious sport. While youre idea of fun might involve a casual game of snooker or eight ball, you should also possess a general knowledge of the grand old game of billiards.

The rules of billiards are quite simple, and not too unlike the bar room sport you’re more inclined to play.

* In billiards, all of the balls within the racking triangle must be touching. If you take the break shot, strike the cue ball with your cue stick to initiate play of the game. Anything other than a direct strike of the cue ball can result in your disqualification.
