Answers:

Can I buy a hayward "H" pool heater for under $400.00 ?

the problem with this question is which version of pool are we talking about? 8 ball, 9 ball, straight pool, one pocket ... there are something like 500 officially recognised versions or derivatives of "pool"

its generally agreed that one pocket pool is the most difficult version of pool as it is far more strategic than snooker since each player can only pot balls in their designated pocket

in terms of popularity americans prefer 9 ball whereas europeans prefer 8 ball but there have been a lot of european 9 ball world champions and i can't think off the top of my head of any american 8 ball world champions

probably the greatest one pocket player was wimpy lassiter and in snooker id go for stephen hendry
