TIPS

At the start of your turn the cue is pointed in the general direction of a good shot. Aim the cue left and right to improve the shot. Pull back cue to set power and release to shoot. 

If the cue ball is sunk a scratch occurs. Play passes to the next player. The cue ball is placed at the near end of the table.

Ball in hand is permitted on the break or after a scratch. The cue ball blinks and it can be moved to a new position. In Practice mode you can take ball in hand at any time, and move the cue ball anywhere on the table.
