Winning in 9 Ball

Alright in this next clip I am going to show you how to win the game in nine ball. Alright, so winning the game in nine ball you are, like I said, you are shooting the lowest ball on the table. Now there are different scenarios, and I just want to go over a couple of quick scenarios. One way is running all of the balls in numerous orders, from one through eight, then pocketing the nine on a legal shot. Or you could use one of the object balls, the lowest ball on the table is the first one your cue has to hit, and you could actually hit that ball into the nine and if the nine goes in you win the game. Let me show you two different ways. Alright let me show you a scenario. There are a few balls left on the table, the five is the lowest one, so I might want to just play the five ball stopping it dead like so. The seven ball will then go into the side like so. I know can shoot the eight ball. This is running the balls in order. The eight ball will go in the corner, and you see, that once now I have the nine ball in the corner, it is game over, I win one game in a set of maybe seven to eleven. Usually you have to win at least the minimum of seven games in nine balls, but there are tournaments that you could play up to eleven as well. It depends. Alright, so that is one scenario for winning the game in nine ball. Alright, here is another scenario. I have the one ball, it is the object ball, I have to hit it first. But you see the nine ball is down in the corner right here, where the five ball is in front of it, it is pretty much hanging in the corner. So a fair shot might be for me to play the one into the five and then into the nine. Now since I hit the one first, it is the object ball, it is a legal shot. If the nine goes in, I win the game. Let me show you. And you see, as simple as that you can win the game. Fast game, nine ball. Remember you have to have seven or eleven games to win the match.
