The major reason people have their own pool table is to be able to play the game at their leisure. Having your own pool table is the most efficient, and in the long run the cheapest, way to practice.

Snooker players are not paid a salary. They get paid on performance in competitions and appearance on TV etc.

I once played against a pool pro, in 1 break off he potted 5 balls.

I got 7 like a week ago on DECEMBER 2nd 2009

..............................................

I once shot in eight balls on the break. It's funny because I was leading 4 to 3 in a race to 5 during a quarter final match when I sank the eight on the break, and in my excitement of pumping my fist and sighing relief, I failed to notice what the referee quickly spotted. He summoned all players to our table and asked everyone to "...count the balls left on the table." There were seven. One other time in my experience (and I've been playing for 30 years) I've made five. I've seen someone else make six once. I've never seen seven. In a tournament billed as the "Tournament of Champions" where all entrants were previous winners of local eight-ball tournaments, we were playing at The Crow's Nest in Wisner, Louisiana in the fall of 1993. We were playing on 8 ft. Valleys and I was shooting with a Benson cue. The referee was Wayne Stevens. I still marvel at how all breaks are as unique as snowflakes. And how every once in a harvest moon a snowflake will appear as big Mizerak himself. Matthew Friestman

it is called Jack

This will depend upon the model and condition. However, these can be worth anywhere from $1,000 to $50,000.

In Southern California an 8.ball is about $150(3.5) obviously we are close to the border

I have heard in some states the price going up to $300 for the same amount

and 8.ball will lasst for about a week if it they don't share with others.

Professional billiards players like to have their own specific cues. Former British professional player Stephen Hendry does not currently use a specific stick as he is retired from his favorite game snooker.

Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration, or F=MA. The mass is constant at 166 grams (for standard American pool balls). Acceleration is the square of centimeters per second (cm/s^2).

To properly answer your question, you would need to know how far the object ball moved and how long it took to move that distance. Then you can determine the Force.

Pool cues don't use felt. Pool cues should have a pressed leather tip. Break and jump cues are sometimes given a synthetic tip, such as phenolic, but these are not legal under many tournament rules.

If I am understanding your question correctly, you are asking that with a cue in the kitchen after a scratch in eight ball, can you hit an object ball that is also in the kitchen. If this is the question, then the answer is absolutely yes. You must place the cue ball as close to the kitchen line as possible, make sure you hit the long rail outside of the kitchen, and put enough English (side spin) to come back into the kitchen and hit the ball you are trying for. It take practice and quite a bit of English to pull off this shot. Depending on where the object ball is located, you may have to jack up the back of your cue stick for maximum English.

This is very subjective. McDermott and Viking are two of the largest production manufacturers and are both very successful - anyone owning one of these will tell you the one they have is the best. Some McDermott cues are now collectibles, Viking hasn't yet been recognized as collectible. Meucci is the only major production cue that chose a balance point differently than other production cues, and holding one will feel like a custom cue. Anyone owning a Meucci will say it is the best. In addition to these 3 named, there are others that certainly deserve mention such as Adams, Mali, Brunswick, and of course, Predator.

Pool uses different equipment from carom billiards. Other than the table having pockets, the balls for pool are generally smaller and range from 2.25 inches (57.15 mm) in diameter to 2.375 inches (60.33 mm) in diameter. (By comparison Carom billiard balls are generally 2.375 inches (60.33 mm), or 61.5 millimetres (2.42 in).[1] While UMB, the International Olympic Committee-recognized world carom billiards authority, permits balls as small as 61.0 millimetres (2.40 in), no major manufacturer produces such balls any longer, and the de facto standard is 61.5 millimetres (2.42 in). Modern pool tables range in size from 3.5 feet (1.07 m) by 7 feet (2.13 m), to 4.5 feet (1.37 m) by 9 feet (2.74 m). Modern cues are generally 58.5 inches (148.6 cm) long for pool while cues prior to 1980 were designed for straight pool and had an average length of 57.5 inches (146.0 cm), while carom billiards cues are generally 56 inches (142.2 cm) long.

Both are the same weight in most cases. For coin operated tables, most tables today use a magnetic cue ball which is slightly heavier than the numbered balls. It also can mean the it is a bit harder to control the cue ball. Older coin operated tables used a larger cue ball, not magnetic, which in addition to weighing more than the numbered balls, creates other cue ball control problems.

This is not possible in any common game of pool. Only Straight Pool allows the balls to be placed in nearly any position to accomplish this - no other common pool game allows placing the balls in that order. The middle of the rack is in between the second and third row of balls. It appears what is being asked is what ball will be in the 5th ball position, with one ball to left and one ball to the right if all the balls are arranged lowest to highest. This would be the 5 ball. However, Straight Pool requires that the 1 ball and the 5 ball be placed in the corners.

Therefore, no pool game allows the balls to be placed in the way required - so, any ball may be in the "middle" position depending upon the game of pool being played.

This is a subjective question. For the average player, a well made production cue is certainly as good as a custom cue. However, the player cannot change the handling or feel of the cue, a big difference with a custom cue, which can be designed for exactly the handling, feel, weight distribution, and of course, looks, that the player wants. Most production cues are much more likely to warp and otherwise deteriorate than a custom cue. However, for the difference in price, it simply means the player should take very good care of the production cue, just as if it was a custom cue that could cost 10 times as much.

A six ball for pool is dark green.

7.07 inches. However, this is not significant in a typical billiards game as the out-of-round is the primary concern.

Efren Reyes is one of the top earning 9 ball players in the world. He is described as very kind and very humble.

In 8 ball pool there are 16 balls on the table, a cue ball, 8 ball, 7 solids and 7 stripes although they could be red and yellow etc.

In 9 ball there are 10 balls on the table, cue ball, 1-7 solid, 8 ball and striped 9 ball.

The easiest way to rack in 8 ball is by number. Start with the one followed by the nine then the two and ten then three and eleven. When you get to the five and thirteen put the thirteen first. The reason is tournament rules state "not to have a solid in either corner to reduce the odds of having multiple solids going in off the break" place the eight ball in the middle and break!
