9 ball is just a case of sinking nine balls in order - it is a fast fun game as your opponent may sink 8 balls and then miss the ninth. You sink the ninth ball and you have won!

The object of the game is to pot the 9 ball by ensuring that you always hit the lowest numbered ball first.
The object balls are racked in a diamond shape, with the 1 ball at the top of the diamond and the 9 ball in the centre of the diamond. The other balls are racked in random order as tightly as possible.
The game begins with the cue ball in hand behind the line at the other end of the table.
