It is not recommended to play with a smaller and lighter cue ball, if your other balls are of a different size.- In normal circumstances, you must ensure that your cue ball is of the same size as the other balls. The surprise on my face must show. I decide to stop for a cup of coffee near the Centro Andino shopping complex, that part of the city which never sleeps with its many fancy restaurants, pubs and bars. His eyes glance around the room and stop at a table which is being cleaned. In shot 499 the butler leads Bill down this hall to the closed door of the pool room. Are you asking specifically about eight-ball, because your question asks about what rules standard is most widely used in the sport of billiards pool? When asking about rules of a particular game, should the asker include what rules? Are you asking rules?

Usually, yes. At a higher level, pro rules can be different from amateur rules, etc. Unless this is specified, then we, the community, can only assume. On the break shot, no balls are pocketed and fewer than four balls reach the cushions, in which case the incoming player can demand a re-rack and take the break or force the original breaker to re-break, or may take ball-in-hand behind the head string and shoot the balls as they lie. So let’s take a look at why felt color is so important. I barely take in how he gets out a shiny wooden stick from a small leather case. As I wander through the "T zone" - which takes its name from a certain intersection - and come out at the Calle 85 with Carrera 15, I see a glowing neon light on one side of the street, and it strikes my attention. The question is, should the asker specify the table in which the game is played in addition to the name of the game? Sure, you can specify what game you're playing, but I'm still not sure if your question would merit that tag. Longer handles are as a rule better in torque tools; the farther from the plug the torque can be applied, the easier it is to detect and control fine movement.

I inquire about the hourly rate and she tells me that the tables are full at the moment and that I’ll have to wait until someone finishes. Twenty minutes pass or more when I feel someone approaching. During five minutes he shows me why he is a champion. Billiards teacher. Colombian Champion. I am astonished to find myself standing next to a Colombian national billiards champion.

Once he is standing over the table, stick in hand, he says that he will give me a demonstration. Then a strange sensation takes over me. Now, if APA is most common for eight-ball and BCA is most common for nine-ball or something, then the specificity is critical to answer your question. From above, "How is eight-ball played?" is the only question that (clearly) merits the specification of game being played, for self-explanatory reasons. I personally think it's not necessary to specify you're playing i.e. eight-ball on a pool table, but it can't hurt to add one more tag. In terms of specifying a table, the tag you add to the question should already (implicitly) address what table you are playing on.
