What is the difference between 8 and 9 ball billiard games?
There are 3 major differences between 8 Ball and 9 Ball pocket billiards. First - most obvious is that one uses only the first 9 numbered balls, while 8 Ball uses 15 numbered balls. Second - a major difference is how to win - In 8 Ball, unless the opponent loses the game by means of a bad shot (sinking the 8 ball prior to it being the proper ball), a player must sink all their balls and the final point ball (the 8 Ball); In 9 Ball, you can win on any shot by making the final point ball (the 9 ball) although all other numbered balls may be on the table. These first 2 things make 9 ball a much faster game, so it is preferred for televised play. Third - In 8 ball, you may sink any of your balls in any order, and can hit any of your balls first to accomplish this; In 9 ball, you may sink any numbered balls in any order, but must hit the lowest numbered ball on the table first. Other than that - the equipment and most of the play is the same with only minor other differences.
