pool

A pool can refer to a body of water, a swimming pool or cue sports commonly known as billiards or pool. Pool or pocket billiards is a game played on a felted slate table with side and end pockets where the goal is to knock the striped or solid balls into the pockets in a given sequence. There are many different pool games including eight-ball, nine-ball, cutthroat or killer. The table is usually set with either 9 or 15 balls, and the players use long cues or pool sticks to hit the balls by moving a white or cue ball toward the other balls. Popular in bars and bowling or recreational centers; pool tables are often coin operated. Tournaments for professional pool players can include large cash prizes and winnings.

Blogs on pool include tips and techniques with video and entries on skill enhancement. Inside Pool Magazine hosts a blog with instructions and downloads
