Snooker is a popular sport within the United Kingdom which people play in clubs, at home, or watch on television. This table recreation has become in style in America too, since 1991, when the United States Snooker Association was formed. Snooker is much like billiards in many ways.

The goal of the sport is to defeat your opponent in the quantity of points scored. Devoted snooker gamers practice snooker to try out different angles and their advantages, and the varied methods wherein the balls could be pocketed.

The billiards practice routine

At the table end, organize the red balls in a triangle. The colored balls have their own designated spots, eg. pink is at the triangle’s apex which points to the table’s middle; black is placed between the triangle’s base and the cushion; blue is in the center whereas green, yellow and brown are placed on the baulk line.

Begin practicing snooker by sinking the fifteen red balls into the pockets which are around the table. That is referred to as pocketing. When you will have potted all of the red balls, the colored balls must be potted in a sequential order - yellow, green and brown, then blue, pink, black. The red balls carry one point each, the yellow two points, green three points, and so forth to black which is worth seven points.

Line up

For line-up billiards practice, the red balls should be lined up across the center of the table’s size, with the pink, blue and black balls placed in any order. The brown, yellow and green balls should be on the baulk line. The baulk line, twenty nine inches from the cushion on the table’s different end, helps in marking off the semi circular area where the cue ball is positioned when placing the other balls.

In this snooker practice variation, the start position of the cue ball may be any spot on the table; after this, it needs to be performed from wherever it comes to rest. The thing is to first clear the red balls, then go to the yellow through to the black ball. As in most snooker practice games, whenever you miss a pot, you want to replace the balls and start all over again.

Clock drill

For this billiards practice game, the cue ball must be placed within the table’s center. The colored balls are organized like a clock; two red in a one o’clock place; two in a 3 o’clock position, two extra reds in the 5, 7, 9 and 11 o’clock positions, making up twelve red balls around the cue ball on the table. Coloured balls are often not used.

The reds are potted in any order, but after every shot, the cue ball is always put back at the center. The article of this snooker practice game is to make pots from various ‘arrange’ shots. At any time when a pot is missed, all balls have to get replaced and the game started again.
