28 seconds spinning cue pool ball — World Record

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Shot with my little dinky camera — when the patrons’ away, the kids will play. After closing hours at the Billiards I shot yet another silly “put up or shut up” video — this one of my buddy Colin using my Longoni cue to set the world record in spinning a cue ball — 28 seconds.

I know, it’s juvenile, but at least we had a good time, (sans the pool-hall owner who you can see in the clip picking up one of the many balls that went awry).

Why are the solid pool balls called small and the striped balls called big balls?

Friday, April 9th, 2010


Its because the ’solids’, or ’spots’ have numbers 1-7 on them. (8 including the black). Small numbers, hence ’smalls’.
The ’stripes’ have numbers 9-15 on them. Big numbers, hence ‘bigs’.
Hope that helps.

Is there some method of easily memorizing the number to color for pool balls?

Thursday, April 1st, 2010


Associate the number and colour with something that’s familiar with you.

Always works for me, in all kinds of situations.

who wins in pool if the 8 ball goes into the correct pocket but rolls out due 2 too many balls&lands in a dif1?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

my friend and I were playing pool and he hit all of his balls in. So he calls a pocket for the 8 ball and hits it in but there were too many balls in the pocket so the 8 ball bounced out and landed in a different pocket. who wins?

YOU win.

Your opponent called his pocket; regardless of mishaps or obstacles, the 8 ball ultimately dropped and STAYED in a different pocket than the pocket he called — loss of game.

Advice: Before shooting any ball at any pocket, be sure that the pocket is clear of balls. You can disperse the balls in the "clogged" pocket(s) into other pockets.

Good luck, pool player -

How can I clean pool balls?

Friday, March 26th, 2010

These balls are about 40 yrs old and have been dropped on the tiles floor quite a bit and have marks from the tile on them

MAYBE CONSIDER SANDING AND RECOVERING I THINK ITS A GLAZE ON THE OLDER BALLS

How much do pool balls weigh, and are they all the same, such as the 8 ball ,1 ball and the other ball?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

some one told me that the 1 ball weighs 5 grams more than all the other ball other than the 8 ball which weighs the less is this true or what is the specific weight of all 15 balls

The specifications for pool balls state that they should weigh between 5.5 and 6 ozs, or 156 to 170 g (see link, section 16). This does provide a range, but certain number balls are not purposely made heavier or lighter than the other numbered balls. Higher quality ball sets will be made to stricter tolerances though.

Some bar box tables will have heavier or lighter cue balls though so the table can distinguish it from the other balls.
