| OHCC LIVING | JUNE 2021 | 33 Nine Ball by John Prieskorn Nine ball is my favorite billiards game. Why? Two reasons: 1) It is fast, and it is fun. Fast because there are only 9 balls; and 2) Fun because it is simpler and easier to learn. There is only one concern: since you must first always hit the lowest numbered ball on the table, you MUST play position to be ready for your next shot. This is an advantage: It helps me play better in ALL billiards games. Enjoy learning and have fun in the process! ~ John Rules of 9 Ball 1. Rack balls in diamond shape with #1 on the spot and #9 in the center of the diamond. 2. The break: a) lag to determine who goes first; b) must hit #1 ball first; c) four object balls must hit a rail. 3. Rotation game: must always hit lowest # ball first. 4. 9 ball is a slop game, but you must call the pocket for the 9 ball. 5. OK to pocket the 9 ball anytime, as long as you hit lowest # ball first and call the shot. 6. Any foul causes ball in hand. 7. 3 Consecutive fouls cause loss of game.
