9 Ball Pool
Play a real race against the computer with legal hits, fouls, spin and ball in hand.
How to play
- Place the cue ball in the marked area for the break. Move the mouse to aim, hold the left button to build power, then release to shoot.
- Set shot power, follow or draw, and left or right English. Follow carries the cue ball forward after contact; draw brings it back; side spin changes rebounds and throw.
- The cue ball must contact the lowest-numbered ball first. If no object ball is pocketed, at least one ball must reach a cushion after contact.
- A legal 9-ball wins the rack, including combinations. A foul gives the opponent ball in hand anywhere on the table; three consecutive fouls lose the rack.
What it trains
- True angle and speed control rewards position play instead of scripted level solutions
- Full nine-ball turn and foul rules create meaningful offense, defense and risk decisions
- Three opponent levels make the same physical table useful for learning or serious play
Play 9 ball pool free in your browser. Nine balls are racked in a diamond, and the cue ball must always contact the lowest-numbered ball first — but any ball that drops on a legal shot counts, so combinations are live. The balls use continuous collision physics with cloth friction, lively cushions, cut angles and cue-ball spin. Sink the 9 on a legal shot to win the rack. Scratches, wrong-ball hits, no-rail fouls, the three-ball break rule, three consecutive fouls, push outs and full-table ball in hand are enforced. Adjust power, follow, draw and left or right English, then play a race to two racks against a Casual, Club or Pro computer opponent. No download, account or ads are required.
