Nine-Ball is a variation of
Pocket Billiards. The game may be played in social
and recreational settings by any number of players.
Nine ball is a relatively fast-paced game and
is rarely played by the rack
The game is played on a pocket
billiard table with six pockets and with ten
balls.The cue ball is struck to hit one or more
of the other nine balls, each of which is distinctly
colored and numbered "1" through "9".
The goal of the game is to pocket the nine ball
in a legal manner as per the predefined rules
of the games.In nine ball, on all shots, a player
must cause the cue ball to contact the lowest
numerical ball on the table first before the
cue ball strikes any other ball, otherwise it
is considered as a foul. |

But, any ball can be made during the game as long as the lowest ball is contacted in the starting.Players alternate innings at the table, meaning play continues by one player until he or she misses, commits a foul or pockets the nine ball for the win.
In this game the object balls are placed in the diamond shape and 1 ball is positioned in the front which is the lowest. The placement of the remaining balls is generally considered to be random. In league and tournament play this placement of the balls is expected to be precise; if any ball in the rack does not touch each adjacent ball, or if the rack is not "straight", or if the 1 ball is not resting precisely on the foot spot, the player may demand re-rack.

One person is choosen to break first, & for that the coin is tossed up to decide the first player. If the assigned player fails to make a legal break, the rack is re-arranged and the opposite player may demand the break. |

For much of its history nine ball rules allowed participants to "push out" multiple times during a game, meaning any player could call a "push out", and then hit the cue ball to any area on the table without being penalized by normal foul rules. This manner of playing nine ball is considered "two-foul." However, once a push out was called and executed, the incoming player had the right to shoot or give the inning back to the opponent. If the player shooting the resulting shot fouled, the other player would have "ball in hand". But very soon, the "push Out" variant was ruled out of the Game and this change profoundly affected the way the game was played. Then the new Push out Rule was added and was named as "Texas Express" rules,because of the supposed state of origin and the speeding up of the game.Today, Texas Express push out rules dominate the way nine ball is played and is the variant incorporated into the official rules maintained |
