Your first break.
Your next great game.

Start with Practice

The goal is simple: clear your group of balls, then legally pocket the 8-ball. Getting there is all about control.

Open Practice to become familiar with the game. Hold your phone in landscape, take a moment to find the aiming and power controls, and try a few shots before entering a multiplayer room.

Aim, set your power, take the shot

1. Choose a legal target. Look at your assigned group and identify the ball and pocket you want to play.
2. Adjust your aim. Move your aim on the table and use the aiming guide to line up the contact.
3. Choose your power. Use the power control to set the strength of your shot. More power is not always better.
4. Watch the result. Notice where the cue ball stops. That position sets up your next shot.

Once you are comfortable, explore the cue-ball spin control in Practice. Start with small changes and compare how the cue ball moves after contact.

Solids, stripes, and the 8-ball

Solids are numbered 1–7. Stripes are numbered 9–15. Watch the player display for your assigned group; do not assume a ball pocketed on the break always decides it.

After groups are assigned, your first contact must be with a ball from your group. Once your group is cleared, the 8-ball becomes your legal target. Follow any call-pocket prompt before shooting.

Know the common fouls

• Pocketing the white cue ball, also called a scratch.
• Failing to hit an object ball.
• Hitting the wrong group first after groups are assigned.
• Failing to pocket a ball or reach a cushion after legal first contact.

A foul normally gives the opponent ball in hand. When the game allows you to place the cue ball, use the highlighted placement area and confirm a valid position. Break rules may limit where it can go.
