How to play 9 ball pool 6p2s64
The game consists of nine numbered balls from the number 1 to 9 and a white ball, which is the cue ball. The goal is to pocket the 9 ball through a legal shot. 20656a
In each shot the white ball must hit first the lower numbered ball on the table. As long as this happens, the balls can be pocketed in any order.
If one of the players pocket a ball through a legal shot, he will keep playing until he misses a shot, does a foul or end up winning the game pocketing the 9 ball.
If one of the player misses, the next player must do his shot from the cue ball’s current position. If that next player starts his turn due to a foul, he can put the cue ball anywhere on the table, being free to shoot from any place.
Match start and initial shot 1q2wu
The numbered balls are initially placed in a diamond shape, with the 9 ball in the middle.
To start the shot, the cue ball is placed behind the head string. After the first shot, in case the 9 ball is pocketed, the match is restarted.
In case no other ball is pocketed, if atleast 4 balls to not hit the rails, it’s considered a foul.
Fouls 1p2n5w
If a player commits a foul, not only he loses his turn, the opponent will have the possibility to put the cue ball wherever he wants.

- The white cue ball is pocketed.

- No ball is pocketed and none hits a rail (not counting the cue ball).
- The first ball hit by the cue ball is not the lower numbered of the ones present on the pool table.
- In the breaking turn (match start), at least 4 balls do not hit a rail.
