• An indicator will tell you if you’re stripes or solids on the screen. But when the game is ongoing, there are chances you mix them and forget which is yours and your opponent’s. Here you need a mental note, or if you don’t trust your memory, note the physical nature of the ball or write it somewhere. 
• One much-ignored thing is the choice of the balls. It’s important what you choose between stripes and solids, and the options may determine your winning. Before selecting, take a note of the side with the best pottable 8 balls, and it will give you a good chance of clearing or finding the holes.
• Check the rules well. Pros know always to do this. Usually, by default, most games start with the London table but if you want a better one, you could ask Pros.
• Choose accuracy, finesse, and a credible playing style overpower. The Pros in the game hardly go for power, although many think power pots the balls.
• Don’t hit the White Ball, as earlier stated. A penalty will be awarded against you if it happens. 
• Like in anything, practice makes all the difference you want. To be a top 8 Balls Pool player on message, you need practice. So keep playing.
