Side Pocket — About this game
Line up billiard shots, set cue-ball spin and stop the power meter at the strength you need. The cue ball must first contact the lowest numbered target, making position after a pot as important as the pot itself. Pocket and 9-Ball modes give different goals, while follow, draw and side spin help plan the next angle. Switch the balls between numbers and outlines to judge contact points before committing to a difficult cut.
