Question

Can you tell me some major difference between pool and snooker i know pool very well...?

Answer 1

well snooker is a much bigger table and in snooker you score points and colour balls come out to the end and the highest break you can get in snooker is 147 and pool you can only do a 7 ball wich i havee done a few times

Answer 2

ichas64651 already gave you the most important facts, so I'll just add that the balls are potted in the following manner: first a player pots a red ball, which remains in the pocket, and then he must pot one of the other colors (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink or black). That ball is then re-spotted on the table and the player tries to pot another red and after it another of the other colors and so on. The "non red" balls are always re-spotted after a pot so long as there are any red balls on the table. Once all the reds are potted, the other balls are potted in the following way: yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black. The number of points a player scores in a single visit to the table is called "a break". In snooker, maximum break is 147. For more information on the game and the snooker players you can visit the official website of the World Snooker Association at http://www.worldsnooker.com/

Answer 6

Snooker is a billiards sport that is played on a large (12' × 6') baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. It is played using a cue, one white ball (the cue ball), 15 red balls (worth 1 point each) and 6 colours: a yellow (2 points), green (3 points), brown (4 points), blue (5 points), pink (6 points) and black ball (7 points). A player wins a frame of snooker by scoring the most points, using the cue ball to pot the balls in the manner described below. A match consists of an agreed number of frames. Snooker is particularly popular in English-speaking and Commonwealth countries, and the Far East.
