Pool Games Fun Galore With "Seven Ball"

Seven Ball could become one of the hottest pool games in the world over the next decade. An intermediate player able to run only one or two of every 40 racks of 9-ball played may run out frequently playing 7-ball. There are simply fewer balls on the table that might roll into difficult circumstances.

I like 7-ball as a training game, including the rules I’ve adopted for you, encouraging heightened concentration and planning ahead. 7-ball is a fast paced, fun and sometimes frantic choice from among all the pool games out there!
