English call &#8220;Ingl\u00e9s&#8221; for the purpose?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What for us is pull &#8220;effect&#8221; (hit the white on one side), for the Anglo-Saxon world is to use &#8220;side spin&#8221; or &#8220;Ingl\u00e9s&#8221;. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The first makes sense because it is the literal translation, but the second not so much. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is named for Jack Carr, an English teacher, who discovered the mid-nineteenth century putting chalk could throw a side of white without miscue and was the first to use effects.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">2- White measures and weighs the same as the other balls?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In pool competition, yes. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Measures and weighs the same. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But it is normal in bars or arcades white different as a (usually larger), to separate it from the other balls when it falls into a pocket. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">English or blackball pool, the white is smaller than the yellow and red.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">3- What are the red dots of white?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There are many types of white: the classic, which has a red circle, magnet &#8230; And the most famous of all is suffering from <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">chicken pox. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why <\/font><\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kozoom.com\/es\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">this white<\/font><\/font><\/a><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> has 6 red dots? <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The main reason is to <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">allow the viewer (and players) see better rotation and the effects of white. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some say that the set Aramith TV so that it differed from the yellow ball, but not proven.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">4- Why are so great snooker tables?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Good question for which there is no clear answer. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you know, get us out of doubt in the comments. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">My friend Guillermo Garcia points out an interesting idea: it measures 12 feet to differentiate themselves from other forms of pool and to establish itself as the measure queen.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">5- If you do lack are two shots?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/billiardsandbartools.com\/index.php\/2018\/03\/28\/is-it-better-to-play-pool-fast-or-slow\/\">Pool bar often play<\/a> with this rule of two shots, but not used in the international regulation of American pool. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Blackball they do exist in both shots and chances that have influenced the pool at recreational level.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>6- What you are <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/billiardsandbartools.com\/index.php\/2018\/03\/28\/what-are-billiard-balls-made-of\/\">made billiard balls?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Earlier ivory. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Now phenolic resin. <\/font><\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kozoom.com\/es\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Here<\/font><\/font><\/a><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> you have all the details of the anatomy of a billiard ball.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">7- Why the four ball sometimes and sometimes pink lilac? <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Most games billiard balls are the <\/font><\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kozoom.com\/es\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">same color<\/font><\/font><\/a><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , but the set <\/font><\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kozoom.com\/es\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Aramith Pro Cup TV<\/font><\/font><\/a><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> has some differences over the rest: the tones are clearer and balls 4 and 12 are roses instead of lilacs. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is so that in televised matches are <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">not confused with 2\/10 (blue) or black.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">8- Why Americans put numbers on the balls and the rest?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Look, the <a href=\"https:\/\/billiardsandbartools.com\/index.php\/2018\/03\/28\/5-reasons-why-you-should-throw-more-soft-playing-pool\/\">pool is the only one that is played<\/a> with numbered balls. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In snooker, there are only blackball or carambola colors. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why? <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Again, there is no clear answer. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Americans wanted to count from 1 to 15 but really enough to differentiate as smooth and striped. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">9- Why Snooker mats remain green and pool are blue?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As a matter of tradition (most respects snooker and therefore keeps the green on cloth) and also to prevent chalk stains on the mat. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In American pool most often used blue chalk, so the cloths are blue. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In snooker, chalk with green cloths are green.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">10- How do you calculate shots per band snooker players?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The pooleros and caramboleros we chop diamonds, but snookeros go blind. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How do they do to calculate band shots and anticipate the bounce of white? <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u00bfPure intuition? <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It has much merit. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I do not know the answer so who knows what get us out of doubt in the comments.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Are you more curious billiard happen?
