Hello everyone. I think a lot of people saw Venom's appearance on America's Got Talent. The shot he started with utilized an egg shaped pool ball known as a bobbleball. It is the same material as a regular pool ball, just in a different shape. Aside from doing a cool trick with it, there are actual pool games you can play.
Game 1: Bobbleball
This is a combination of shuffleboard, curling, and bochi ball on a pool table. You place the bobbleball on a diamond intersection. You have 7 solids and your opponent has 7 stripe balls. The object is to roll your ball at least one cushion and get as close to the bobbleball as you can. You can hit it, you can hit your ball closer, and you can hit your opponents ball out of the way. You take turns and whoever has the closest balls at the end, wins the points. And you move the bobbleball to another intersection and keep playing. This is good for kids and adults that don't play but want to be a part.
Game 2: Tagball
This is a combination of snooker, 3 cushion, and pool. I normally demo this with short rack 8 ball, but it can be played with any game. You place the bobbleball on the headstring and it is a target. Break the balls like normal. Now, before every shot, you have to tag the bobbleball with at least a one rail kick. Once you tag the bobbleball, then you can shoot. So the one (or more) rail kick is like the red ball in snooker. This will really help your kicking game. And its fun to see that on the table. The fun part is that you can't determine where it goes after getting kicked.
Turns out, you can own one of these if you want.
I am selling off the remaining product that the owner had. These are good for drop pocket tables. They will get stuck on ball return tables though so gotta stuff the pockets.
Feel free to ask any questions and/or move this thread to another spot if this is not the correct place for it.
