Simon Buckingham has written a great article at SnooHoo, telling us the basic difference between pool and snooker. Such information is often assumed known, but many professionals will fail to accurately distinguish between the two. So, here are the major differences between these two amazing cuesports.\nPool and snooker are two similar sports which both entail using sticks called cues to pocket balls of different colors into six holes on the sides and corners of a rectangular table. Yet these two sports go a long way to illustrate the difference between the old organized world and the new unorganized world.\n\nSnooker is a sport from the age old organized tradition. You are much more likely to get dressed up when playing snooker, often in a dinner suit and bow tie. You play snooker on a long table of well over two meters in length and a meter wide. You hit the balls gently, relying on their smooth passage across the slate-bedded table to reach their destination pocket.\n\nBecause the table is so large, success (known as "break building": an unbroken series of pocketing the balls) depends upon using spin to position the white cue ball for potting the subsequent ball. There are set rules which are strictly adhered to, for example, if you accidentally tap a snooker ball with the end of your cue you "foul" and forfeit your shot.\n\nSnooker is played at a thoughtful, leisurely pace and some time can elapse between shots. One frame between average players can take up a good hour. \n\nThe contrast between snooker and pool is clear. Pool represents the unorganized world. You can play in any clothes that you find comfortable. The pool table is much smaller, just over a meter in length and less than a meter wide. The pockets are larger relative to the size of the balls. Paradoxically, even though the pool table is smaller, you tend to hit the balls harder because the cloth on the table (which can be and often is blue or red as well as green) is more coarse. The rules are less strict, insofar as the acceptance of minor mistakes when setting up a shot tends to be greater. The pace of pool is quicker: you don't need complicated implements such as "spiders" which are supplementary cues that let you reach areas of the snooker table in order to play shots that human size would otherwise preclude.\n\nGames between good pool players can be over in 10 minutes. There is less break building because the table is small enough for the good players to pot a few balls and win. \nPool is a sport which is much more attuned to today's quicker, faster unorganized world than the more organized world of snooker. Our goals remain the same: personal prosperity (potting the balls) and the infrastructure of the world (the table) is smaller and more accessible. As with the world, pool games are played at a faster speed, the rules are fewer, innovation rather than strategy much more important. The entry barriers are lower: people who have not played pool or snooker before can pick up a short pool cue and have a go and pot something. \nNew beginners could be playing snooker a long time before they pocket a ball. The start up costs for the pool equipment are lower, and the ease of carrying around a pool cue greater.\n\nWith its smaller table and wider pockets, pool is like technological capitalism, giving its players both the opportunity and the opportunity to pursue that opportunity.\n\nThe image of the pool player in the movie "The Hustler" contrasts with that of the gentleman in his country mansion playing snooker. As someone once said, "The best things come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle". Rack up those pool balls, and play on, play on.

Cue, cue stick or pool cue in general terms. Some snooker players will refer to their cue as a "snooker" cue because of the demensions of the shaft. The ones who play billiards (no pockets) refer to them as "billiard" cues again because of the demension of the "stick" itself and taper of the shaft.\n\nA common question around the pool rooms is "...what cha shootin with?" Most would respond with the name brand or name of the cue maker.

just click on the cue stick with your mouse and drag it, then release your click and your cue will send the ball flying, i am assuming you are talking about yahoo pool, since this is under the snooker and pool section. Cheers

Type of Game: International or "English" snooker is the most widely played form of snooker around the world. It is generally played on 6'x12' English billiard tables, with cushions that are more narrow than on pocket billiard tables and which curve smoothly into the pocket openings. 5 x 10 and snooker tables of even smaller playing dimensions may be used for the game. On a 6 x 12 snooker (English billiard) table the playing area within the cushion faces shall measure 11' 8.5" x 5' 10" with a tolerance on both dimensions of +/-0.5". The height of the table is measured from the floor to the top of the cushion rail, and the height shall measure 34" with an allowable variance of +/-0.5".\n\nPlayers: 2\n\nBalls Used: Set of Snooker balls: fifteen object balls that are not numbered and are solid red (called reds), six object balls of other colors that are not numbered (called colors) and a cue ball (called the white ball). Point values for object balls: red-1, yellow-2, green-3, brown-4, blue-5, pink-6, black-7. In International Snooker the balls used are 2-1/16" diameter.\n\nThe Rack: Play begins with the balls placed as in the diagram above. The pink is spotted on the Pyramid Spot. The apex ball of the triangle of reds is racked as close as possible to the pink without touching it.\n\nBaulk-line and Baulk: A straight line drawn 29" from the face of the bottom cushion and parallel to it is called the Baulk-line and the intervening space termed the Baulk.\n\nThe Half Circle: The Half Circle is a semi-circle described in Baulk with its center at the middle of the Baulk-line and with a radius of 11.5". When the striker has cue ball in hand within the Half Circle he may place the base of the cue ball anywhere on the line or within the Half Circle, and may use his hand or any part of his cue (including the tip) to position the cue ball--as long as it is judged he is not attempting to play a stroke.\n\nObject of the Game: To score a greater number of points than opponent.\n\nScoring: Points are scored in two ways: players are awarded points for fouls by the opponent (see Penalties For Fouls below), and by legally potting reds or colors. Each legally potted red ball has a point value of one; each legally potted color ball has a point value as indicated (Balls Used above). A frame ends when all balls have been potted, following the Rules of Play; if, however, only the black (7) ball is left on the table, the frame ends with the first score or foul. If the players' scores are equal after that scoring, the black is spotted on its original position and the layers lag or draw lots for the choice of playing at, or assigning opponent to play at, the black ball with the cue ball in hand within the Half Circle, first score or foul then ends the frame.\n\nOpening Break: Players lag or draw lots for choice of break in the opening frame. In a match format the players alternate the break in subsequent frames. Starting player has cue ball in hand within the Half Circle. He must cause the cue ball to contact a red ball. It is not necessary to send a ball to a rail or into a pocket. Failure to meet this requirement is a foul (see Penalties For Fouls) A foul is scored and--with all fouls--the incoming player has a choice of (1) accepting the table and becoming the striker, or (2) requiring the offender to break again.\n\nRules of Play\n\n1. A legally potted ball entitles the striker to continue at the table until he fails to legally pot a ball.\n\n2. On all shots, the striker must comply with the appropriate requirements of Rules of Play 5 and 6. It is not necessary to cause the cue ball or an object ball to contact a cushion or drop in a pocket after the cue ball has contacted a legal object ball (ball on). Failure to contact a legal object ball first is a foul.\n\n3. As long as reds are on the table, the incoming striker (player taking his first stroke of an inning) always has a red a
