There is only one type of billiards, which makes sense to play. Key features: relatively large balls, slightly lower than the size of the alignment of the pocket - the diameter of the ball 68-68,5 mm, alignment and width of the corner pocket - 72-73mm and middle pocket 82-83mm. Size of table 3840 х 2060 mm.
This is called a Russian billiards or Pyramid.
The ball near the corner pocket. Pay attention to relative size of the pocket and the ball.
By the way, on the picture you can see an antique billiard table produced in 1905 by the billiard factory of Karl Scholz.
Now you can see a couple of shots that were made today by the old Hustler Nikolay - my father.

This is not a game for drunken cattle, such as American billiards called pool. This is not a game for queers like shit called snooker. This is a game for gentlemen with solid hands and eagle eyes.This game is played, usually for money. This is Pyramid.
