Rotation games do not distinguish between solids and stripes, but rather use the numbering on the balls to determine which object ball must be pocketed. Competitive league pool played on bar tables, however, usually uses international, national or local/regional league rules, and is not what is usually meant by "bar pool". To perform a topspin, line up the cue ball with the object ball and aim to hit it just above the center. Spend as much time as needed learning how to control the cue ball without any other balls on the table. The colour balls are sometimes numbered with their point values in the style of pool balls for the home market.For the same reason, the glossary's information on eight-ball, nine-ball, and ten-ball draws principally on the stable WPA rules, because there are many competing amateur leagues and even professional tours with divergent rules for these games. balance point The point, usually around 18 inches from the bottom of a cue, at which the cue will balance when resting on one hand. However, this is easier said than done, and there are many different techniques you’ll need to master to ensure that it works.

The alternation between red balls and colours ends when all reds have been potted and an attempt (successful or not) to pot a colour is made after the last red is potted, or when the last red is potted or knocked off the table as the result of a foul and is not replaced. Going back to the picture above, the player could nominate the black as the free ball and use it to plant the real red. The reason is that the free ball was to be treated as the ball on, and one cannot snooker a ball on by another ball on (following the same logic that a red cannot snooker another red when red is on). A backspin is also known as the draw shot, and this type of shot should be used when you want the cue ball to draw back after hitting the object ball. When a player has potted all of their (solid or striped) balls, they must pot the black 8 ball to win the game.If the player pots the 8 ball in any other pocket other than the nominated one, they forfeit the game.
