Cut Down A Billiard Pool Ball Tonight

Whether you know it as pocket billiards or plain old “pool”, to get that billiard pool ball rolling well, you must first find correct motivation. Pool should be pleasant and stress-less.

Here's another wrinkle for you 9-Ball fans out there (and how very, very many of you there are)!

Cut Down 9-Ball

9-Ball is an incredibly popular game worldwide today. It’s action is fast and furious, although some people find the idea of top pros hardly missing shots during their runs a little daunting if not boring.

9-Ball is also a weaker game for developing your stroke and strategy skills than most games. 8-Ball, Straight Pool, One Pocket, Rotation Pool and many other games I can think of are healthier exercises.

I did add a 9-Ball variation to our website recently, called Nineation, and some of you have been enjoying it for a more challenging 9-Ball game. Today, I introduce a way to speed 9-Ball further, making it more fun for beginners and a very hot action game for advanced players.

Don’t confuse Cut Down Pool with Cutthroat Pool, although I recommend both games as having truly delightful differences to enjoy at the tables.
