Pool: Played on Billiard Tables with Numbered Balls

Pool is played with the white cue ball and fifteen object balls. Balls numbered 1 to 7 are called solids, and balls numbered 9 to 15 are called stripes. The black ball is the 8-ball. In this game, a player must pocket the solid balls, while the opponent must pocket the striped ones. Ultimately, the player who first succeeds in pocketing all their assigned balls and then pockets the 8-ball, following the rules, wins the game.

Correct Position to Hold the Cue

Whether you are a beginner or a casual player, knowing how to hold a cue properly can greatly enhance your style of play. Firstly, with the right grip, even the most powerful or difficult shots can be controlled. You should hold the cue with a light but firm grip, without squeezing too hard.

Additionally, close your hand gently around the butt of the cue, tightening your fingers just enough to hold it during the shot. Also, keep your wrist relaxed to absorb vibrations. A stiff wrist transmits any sudden movements from your arm to the cue, causing a loss of control. For most shots, the cue ball should be struck about ten to fifteen centimeters from the base. This position ensures better control and accuracy.
