About this game
Choose the shot direction, start the power meter and press again to strike at the desired strength. Cue-ball contact can be adjusted for follow, draw or side effects, so sinking a ball also means considering where the cue ball will travel afterward. Training offers demonstrations and practice for basic shots. Pocket Game provides a solo objective, while two players can compete in Pocket Game or 9 Ball. Practice can therefore focus on one technique before it is used in a scored game.
