The fifteen object balls are racked as tightly as possible in a triangle, with the apex ball on the foot spot and the eight ball as the first ball that is directly below the apex ball. Whether balls are being spotted after safeties depends on the rules of the particular game. As stated in Rule 2.2, what is billiards balls other than the one and nine are placed randomly in the rack and should not be set in any particular order during any rack. The balls are played in ascending numerical order and the lowest numbered ball must be contacted by the cue ball in order to establish a legal hit. The term snooker denotes a position of the cue ball from which the player is unable to hit the ball that the rules require one to play. If a ball falls into a pocket as the result of such settling, it is restored as closely as possible to its original position. When necessary for balls to be restored or cleaned, the referee will restore disturbed balls to their original positions to the best of his ability. The referee will place a ball on each side of the table behind the head string and near the head string.

If the ball touches anything that isn't part of the table or an object ball, then it is a foul. Penalties are assessed for fouls-i.e., violations of certain rules-including pocketing the cue ball ("scratching"), failing to hit any ball with the cue ball, causing the cue ball to strike first a ball that is not on, and pocketing two balls (other than two reds) on the same stroke. Their ball doesn't hit the foot cushion, or hits it more than one time. During play, when a player cannot hit the ball that the rules require him to hit (because of obstruction by another ball or balls), he is said to be snookered and loses his turn; this situation gives the game its name. If a player concedes, he loses the match. The games vary according to which balls are legal targets and the requirements to win a match. All billiards games require the basic equipment of a table, cue sticks, and balls. In general, players are not permitted to introduce novel equipment into the game. ‘Billiards’ and ‘pool’ are two words that are often interchanged because they refer to games played on similar-looking tables with a cue and balls. The games of Pool Billiards are played on a flat table covered with cloth and bounded by rubber cushions.

Louis XI, who loved the sport, commanded the creation of a table to play inside without needing to worry about the weather. However, if the shooter pockets the legal object ball the incoming player has the option to play the shot as left, or hand it back to his opponent. To begin, the balls are arranged as follows: all reds in a pyramid with its apex on the pyramid spot; black on the billiard spot near the foot of the table; pink touching the apex of the pyramid; blue at the center spot; and green, brown, and yellow at the left, center, and right of the straight line of the D, a semicircular area at the head of the table. Carom, or French, billiards is played with three balls on a table that has no pockets. The other principal games are played on tables that have six pockets, one at each corner and one in each of the long sides; these games include English billiards, played with three balls; snooker, played with 21 balls and a cue ball; and pocket billiards, or pool, played with 15 balls and a cue ball.

In fact, playing our billiards games is like having an entire billiards hall at your fingertips! Snooker is played on the same table and with the same size balls used for English billiards. Carom billiards is played on a table usually 5 by 10 feet (1.5 by 3 m) or 4.5 by 9 feet (1.4 by 2.7 m). Scoring a carom also entitles the player to another shot, and his turn, or inning, continues until he misses, when it becomes his opponent’s turn. In a variety of the game called three-cushion billiards, the cue ball must also touch a cushion or cushions three or more times to complete a carom. Whenever the shooter is attempting to pocket a ball (except the break) he is required to call shots, the intended ball and pocket must be indicated for each shot if they are not obvious. Besides, there are other accessories you should know to enjoy a better pool ball game. This is how the pool cue, as we now know it today, came to be! The small end of the cue, with which the ball is struck, is fitted with a plastic, fibre, or ivory reinforcement to which is cemented a leather cue tip.
