The winning and losing carambola game, which predates all three of its predecessor games-the winning game, the losing game, and the carambola game (an early variant of straight rail)-is now commonly referred to as just "billiards" in the UK, where it originated, and many former British colonies. For readers unfamiliar with English billiards, the game is played on a regulation, 12′ by 6′ billiards or snooker table, with a set of just three balls. Billiards, on the other hand, uses only three balls: one each of white, yellow, and red, with the white and yellow serving as strikers. In its original use, billiards refers to any type of cue sport, including carom billiards, pool, and snooker. This type of shot is known as a combo shot or combination shot. In Pool, the number of balls in a full set of pool balls varies depending on the type of the game, but a full set includes sixteen balls, each 2 1/4 inches in diameter: eight solid color balls numbered one to eight, seven balls with a color stripe numbered nine to fifteen, and a solid white ‘cue’ ball. It features a table the same size as a billiards table but with less cushioning on the rails and pockets set at the corners and midpoints of the longer edges.

On the other hand, pool specifically refers to a game played on a pool table. Sometimes, people call Pool pocket Billiards. In contrast, pool tables (or pocket billiards tables) have six pockets, including pockets in each corner and one in the middle of each long side. Billiards Cues: Billiards cues feature a medium-weighted cue (17-21 ounces) with a moderate taper and a tip diameter typically ranging from 11-12mm. This configuration balances the power and precision necessary for carom shots on pocketless tables. Snooker Cues: Snooker cues are lighter (16-18 ounces) and longer (57-58 inches) with a thinner shaft and smaller tip diameter (9-10.5mm). This design enables precise cue ball control for the smaller snooker balls and the intricate positional play required in snooker, a game emphasizing strategy and finesse. Pool Cues: Pool cues are heavier (18-21 ounces) and shorter (57-58 inches) compared to snooker cues, with a thicker shaft and a larger tip diameter (12.75-13.25mm). This construction provides the necessary power and control for maneuvering the larger, heavier balls used in various pool games like Eight-ball and Nine-ball.

In practice, of course, locks aren't perfect: the pin holes in the plug are slightly out of alignment with respect to the shell and the pins and pin holes are each of a slightly different diameter. Balls have a diameter of 2 7/16 inches. But if you’re ready to challenge yourself and have ample time to learn and play against another eager player, straight pool is a great way to enjoy pool in its purest form. Can you play snooker on a pool table? However, what many people may not realize is that they actually have different meanings-and some striking differences in table features! Traditionally, billiards tables do not have pockets. Billiards uses tables without pockets with 3 balls while Pool uses tables with 6 pockets and 8 balls. Finally, what is billiards let’s talk about pool balls. Some players will purchase spot stickers and use them to mark out where the colored balls should go.

The professional billiard players of the day embarked upon a competition to establish a record for the highest break in the history of English billiards, which culminated in a ‘match’ between Tom Reece and Joe Chapman at Burroughes & Watts, Soho Square, which commenced on June 3, 1907. Over the next five weeks, Reece made a break of 499,135, including 249,552 cradle cannons, but the Billiard Association subsequently refused to officially recognise his achievement, on the grounds that a portion of the break had been made behind closed doors and witnessed only by Reece and referee William Jordan. Although the possibilities of the stroke that became known as the ‘cannon’ or ‘anchor’ cannon had been demonstrated previously, it was unveiled by former English amateur billiards champion Walter Lovejoy in January, 1907. The idea behind the stroke is to gather the balls together near a corner pocket, such that repeated cannons can be played, over and over again, without changing the position of the object balls. Lovejoy made a run of 283 consecutive cannons, for a relatively modest break of 603, but nonetheless set the tone for the farcical events to follow. Traditionally, a set of balls consists of a red, a spot white, which has two or more black spots for identification, and a plain white, although the spot white may be replaced with a solid yellow ball.
