    I have loved and played pool for more than 30 years...firstly in snooker and pool halls when I was supposed to be in school and then college then in various bars....still play in my local pub and could play for hours on end....am still astonished at how easy these guys make the game look

      I assume you're American? American pool balls are significantly bigger than English pool balls seen here. So much so that we play with a 9mm tip and you play with a 12mm or 13mm tip
      If you're not American and are indeed from the UK then it's what you'll find in most clubs

      In ultimate pool rules you can put the white anywhere on the table after a foul (like American 9 ball) but you only have 1 shot.
