What's 10 ball?

[pwd72s]

I hate to admit my igorance...but there it is. Here, people play 8 ball & 9 ball...and a bit of "straight pool". I don't have a clue about 10 ball. Could somebody please explain the basics???

Well i guess i am the one to answer your question??want take long. you say you play 9 ball?? well just add another ball!!! use the same rules as 9 ball .

It's the same as 9ball with ten balls. Rack 1-10 in a triangle, one in front and ten in the middle. All the rules of 9ball apply except the ten is now the game ball.

Yep, they are adding one ball at a time until they go full circle to all 15 balls once again and call it straight pool. ( I wish)

10-Ball solves the defficiancies (sp) of the 9-ball rack. The extra ball eliminates the wired wing balls from a perfect rack of 9-ball, and rewards the player that has a controlled powerful break.

In the florida tour, the players must break from the box,and in both, the Predator WOrld 10-ball Championships, and the FLorida tour, the 2 ball and 3 ball must be racked on the back corners of the rack with (of course) the 1 ball up front and the 10 ball in the middle.

The rest of the rules are the same as 9-ball. 10-ball is the future of competitive rotation pool.

LOL...I see your point. But thanks to all for explaining the game to this backwater of pool dweller...

isn't one difference though, that making the 10 on the break is NOT a win? it gets respotted

 

[Hail Mary Shot]

how a bout a scratch or a foul ? is it automatic BIH or CB back in the kitchen?

 

[McChen]

it's BIH like nine ball

tnx for the clarification. just saw some guys did a CB re-spot back in the kitchen and got me confused and wondering all of a sudden regarding the rules.
