This is another one of those questions that keeps getting asked over and over with slightly different wording. Check the archives and you'll find this question at least a dozen times. Anyway, in a nutshell, "billiards" is an all-encompassing term which includes all cue sports. Pocket billiards (pool), carom games (pocketless tables), and snooker are all subcategories under the heading of "billiards". Many people today use the word "billiards" only to describe carom games. Three-cushion billiards is the most commonly played carom game. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.How do you shot the ball in the game of pool?
Billards you just shoot at the object balls...ie, 8-ball you want to sink all of the solids or stripes before you hit the 8 ball in, or 9 ball, hit them in order.but snookers is completely different. In snooker you have red balls and then color balls, ie , black, orange, pink, so on.You have to sink a red ball before you can sink any other ball. Each ball of a different color is worth a different amount of points..you keep playing to reach a certain score. For example, you knock in a red ball and now you knock in a black ball.you get some points.next you have to knock in a red ball again.and go after a different color.Does drinking help when playing pool ?
billiards has no pockets, and you try to hit the two balls with the cue ball. while billiards has the 15 red balls and the colours which have to be pocketed.A good pool cue brand?? not expensive tho.?
