Control
Shatter the rack with a powerful break, then strategically sink every last solid or striped ball into the pockets by controlling angles, spin, and force. Once only the iconic black "8" remains, carefully aim your final shot to legally pocket it—landing that decisive strike in any pocket secures your victory.
Description
A widely recognized billiards variation challenges players to legally pocket all assigned balls—either striped or solid—following the initial break, then sink the 8-ball to secure victory. Players must first determine their designated group during the opening phase, after which they strategically clear their targets from the table. Only once a competitor successfully pots their final group ball may they attempt to strike the black 8-ball into a called pocket. Precise execution of this sequence, without fouling or prematurely sinking the 8-ball, results in an immediate win, while errors typically award the victory to the opponent.
