Nine-Ball Billiard Game

Abstract

A nine ball set which provides visual reference points to the player to assist the player in aiming a cue that the ball. All of the billiard balls are striped, including balls 1-8. The striped pattern provides visual reference points on the ball for aiming the cue. The one ball and the nine ball used in this set have different colors to distinguish them from one another. Preferably the color of one of them is similar to the yellow color used by a conventional nine ball set, but changed such that it is visually distinctive from the other ball. In the preferred embodiment, the eight ball is striped, but an alternative embodiment provides for a solid eight ball with white stripes to provide a visual reference point.

1 . A nine ball set, further comprising: 
 a set of nine billiard balls having unique numerals;    the new balls each having a colored marking and at least one white area such that the ball provides visual reference points for aiming a cue.
