10-ball is one of the most popular formats of pool. It requires a little more care and attention than 9-ball, but doesn’t offer multiple choices on each shot like 8-ball. That means it hits the “sweet spot” for most seasoned players. 10-ball is a type of rotational pool where each player is always shooting at the lowest-numbered ball on the table. To win, players must pocket the 10-ball. In this article, we’ll break down all of the rules, nuances, and requirements.
Things You Should Know
