HOW TO PLAY: TIPS & TRICKS

Take your Ultimate 8 Ball Pool game to the next level with these helpful tips & tricks!

JUMP SHOT

A jump shot is useful for jumping the cue ball over an obstacle ball in order to reach the target ball.

 

Jump Shots require a Cue Stick with high Cue Angle and Power attributes. These attributes control how high the cue ball will jump and how far the cue ball will travel. The higher the Cue Angle & Power, the higher the cue ball will jump.

 

Experiment with different Cue Angles to create different jump shots for your scenario, and upgrade your cue to increase the attributes and perform different types of jump shots!

CURVE / MASSE SHOT

A curved shot, also called a massé shot, is useful for curving the cue ball around a ball that is obstructing the path.

 

Curve Shots require a Cue Stick with very high Cue Angle, Spin and Power attributes. These attributes control the amount of curve on the cue ball and the distance the cue ball will travel. Higher Cue Angle & Spin creates more curve on the cue ball.

 

Experiment with different Cue Angles & Spin to create different curve shots for your scenario, and upgrade your cue to increase the attributes and perform different types of curve shots!
