Step 1: Setting Up the Table
Start by arranging the balls in the triangle rack at one end of the table. Ensure the 8-ball is in the center and the front ball is placed on the foot spot.
Step 2: The Break
Position the cue ball behind the head string and use your cue stick to hit the balls. Try to spread them across the table with force.
Step 3: Stripes or Solids
Once a ball is pocketed, decide whether you will play for stripes or solids, depending on the type of ball pocketed first.
Step 4: Aiming and Shooting
Focus on the ball you want to pocket. Aim carefully, align your cue stick, and strike the cue ball with the right amount of force.
Step 5: Winning the Game
Pocket all your designated balls and finally the 8-ball into the called pocket to win. Avoid sinking the cue ball with the 8-ball.
