Unlike other pool games, snooker is a game that requires much more skill than the average pool game. A player must first put the red balls into the pocket. After that, they must then position the colored balls at the designated spots. These steps are done in a set sequence. The frame is won by the player with the highest number of points.
A rack of fifteen red balls is the basis of a snooker table. Each ball has an individual point value. A yellow ball is worth 2 points, while a green ball is worth 3 points, a blue one five points and a black one seven points. To strike an opponent's soccer ball, a black ball can also be used.
The balls for snooker have a smaller diameter than those for pool. They are 52.5 mm in size. They are usually made of phenolic resin. The World Pool Billiard Association stipulates that these balls can weigh from 5+1/2 to 6.0 oz. They are also stated to have an accuracy tolerance of 0.060 inches, meaning they can differ in their weight by less that 0.5 oz. These balls are used in many forms of snooker.

Some players play snooker as well as pool. Many public betting establishments have installed pool tables to attract bettors. The balls used for pool are larger, and are standardized at 5.7 cm to 6.0 cm in diameter. These balls can be used for straight, eight-ball and nine-ball pool. They are also used for the special televised pool sets that feature a spotted cue ball. You can also find colored balls that have point values and are numbered in some sets.
The World Pool-Billiard Association also requires that a set snooker snooker billiard balls have uniform hardness and weight. These ensure that the balls are perfectly round and more durable than any other balls. In fact, phenolic snooker balls last five times longer than those made from polymers. They also have an anti-friction roll which increases their durability.
