If you want to play billiard, you should find out the difference
between pool and snooker. Today, I would like to talk about
how to separate them.
First, the snooker was from England and pool was from America.
Pool's table is small and the balls are big. Unlike pool,
snooker's table is bigger and the balls are smaller. Pool has
15 balls which with numbers on it, the player should hits all
these balls from 1 to 15 into the table's holes. Unlike pool,
snooker has 15 red balls and 6 color balls without number on it.
The player should hits one red ball and then one color ball in
to the holes, and so on until all the balls were in the holes.
Pool is basicly on speed which means you should hit all the
balls into the holes faster than the other players. Snooker
is basicly on scoll which means you should got the higher
scoll than the other player.
Next, the cue for snooker is different from the pool's cue. The
snooker's cue is more longer and thiner than the pool's cue.
Also, the head of the snooker's cue was made by iron and the
pool's was made by skin. The pool's cue can be separated into
two or three parts. Unlike pool, the snooker's cue can be only
separated into two parts.
Finally, the rules for these two kinds of billiards are also
different. When playing pool, the players can only use the
hand to support the cue but nothing else. Unlike pool, when
playing snooker, the players can use the lams to support the
cue because the table is too big. When playing snooker, the
ball you hit can go in any holes on the table. Unlike snooker,
when playing pool, you should call the hole which you will
hit the ball in before hitting.
