There are three types of games that use balls: snooker (billiards), pool (snooker), and pool (pool). Although there is some overlap between the three games, there are still key differences. For beginners, these can be confusing. This article will attempt to clarify some of the most common misconceptions.
There are many variants of each of these three games. They also have different scoring and rules. Each game can be considered a table sport but each has its unique set of rules. The most common size of a table is 8 feet by 4 feet. You can also find pocket billiards, which are smaller versions.
One of the most loved table games is pool. It is usually played with three balls, each with different color values. When a player sinks a ball, he or she scores a point. A red ball earns you one point while an object ball gives you six. In pool, the object ball is shot from the bank to the opposite side of the table. But rules can vary from one area to the other.
Snooker, by contrast, is more complex. One player attempts to get the object ball and the other player tries the foul. At the same time, the goal is to score as many points as possible. The "green call", an extra call that is worth three point, will be awarded points to players during the game.
Both pool and snooker have their own set of rules. For example, snooker has a particular rule regarding the ball's size. The snooker balls are 2 1/8 inches in size, unlike pool. A snooker ball is also smaller than a standard pool ball. A snooker ball travels faster.
Curved pocket lead is one the most fascinating aspects of snooker. It is made of a woven yarn that allows it to move quicker. Interestingly, most snooker tables will use a net under the pocket to collect the balls. Snooker has an interesting characteristic: it is much more skill-level than other billiards games.
Snooker's history is much shorter than that of pool or billiards. Originally it was a gentleman's game, based on an earlier version of pool. It was initially played on a table that had pockets. Later, it was renamed as pool. However, snooker has a better social reputation than pocket billiards.
Overall, snooker is more popular then billiards. Although they have their own sets of rules and equipment, they both involve a cue stick, balls and cues. Each player will need to play a number of frames to earn a winning score. 120 points can be earned by a snooker-player. But, this is just a fraction of the actual score. This comparison may offend many pool and snooker players, especially if they're experienced.
