About Pool — Free Online 9-Ball Billiards, Clear the Table

Pool is the timeless cue sport: a green-felt table, numbered balls, six pockets and the satisfying clack of a clean break. This version distils it into a pure solo challenge — clear all nine balls in as few shots as you possibly can.

Drag back from the cue ball to aim and load up power — a dashed guideline shows exactly where the cue ball will travel — then release to strike. The balls roll, collide and rebound off the cushions; your job is to sink them in the pockets. Pot the cue ball by mistake and it simply returns to the table.

The skill is all about angles and control. Read the carom, plan where the cue ball will stop for your next shot, and chain your pots together. Pool is easy to pick up and takes a lifetime to truly master — one more rack is always tempting.

Tips & strategy

  • Use the dashed aim line — it shows exactly where the cue ball will roll and what it will hit first.
  • Soft, controlled shots sink more balls than wild power; only the break needs to be hit hard.
  • Think one shot ahead — where the cue ball stops decides how easy your next pot will be.
  • To pot a ball, aim the cue ball at the spot on it directly opposite the pocket you are aiming for.
  • Bank shots off a cushion can reach balls with no direct line — the rebound angle mirrors the approach.
  • A gentle tap near a pocket is more reliable than a hard one that can rattle back out.
  • Sinking the cue ball costs you nothing but a wasted shot — it simply returns to the table.
  • Line up two balls so one shot drops both — a combo not only feels great but slashes your shot count toward a three-star clear.

Frequently asked questions

How do you play Pool?

Pot all nine numbered balls into the six pockets. Your score is the number of shots you take to clear the table — fewer is better.

How do I aim and shoot?

Drag backward from the cue ball, as if pulling back a cue stick. The further you drag, the more power you load; release to strike.

What is the dashed line?

It is an aim guide showing the path the cue ball will follow and the first ball or cushion it will reach, so you can line up the shot.

What happens if I pot the cue ball?

Potting the white cue ball is a scratch — it simply returns to the table and you carry on playing. It still used up one of your shots.

Does the order of the balls matter?

No. In this clear-the-table game you can sink the nine balls in any order you like; you just need to pot every one of them.

Is my best score saved?

Yes. Your lowest number of shots to clear the table is stored on your device and shown as the target to beat.

What are combos and stars?

Pot two or more balls in a single shot for a combo, worth a bonus and a celebratory flourish. When you clear the table you earn one to three stars based on how few shots you took, and your best combo and tables cleared are saved on your device.
