In this video Gareth Potts talks us through the key differences between Blackball and World rules, for 8 ball pool. In 2013 the IPA Tour has changed over to Blackball rules, so the tactical differences will be interesting to watch.
Gareth also compares these two sets of rules to the Chinese 8 Ball rules which he played when winning the International Chinese 8 Ball Masters competition in January 2013 - he feels these are the best combination of rules, removing the element of fluke from the game.
