when people talk about weight it's a way to handicap a game so that weaker players can play stronger players and have a better chance of winning.
let's say i play better than you do i'll say i'll give you the 8 ball. which would mean that if you pocket the 8 at any time during the game you'll win. you can combo it or just run out to it. that applies to 9 ball/10 ball. if someone says they'll give you the last 2 then if you run out to the last 2 balls on the table (not always the 8/9 or 9/10) then you'll win.
get it?
