The difference between Russian and American Billiards.
The game of Billiards is very similar in the first and in the second case. The presence of the table, balls and cue a prerequisite for the two subspecies of the game. But, Russian Billiards-a collective expression for a variety of games, roughly generalizing the term. Russian Billiards has larger balls than the American pool, all of the same color. The table in the Russian version more, pocket less. The difference even exists even in cue, in Russian Billiards it is much larger,heavier and longer. Pocket different the pointed form.
American pool differs in that it is the only variety and is an independent name of the game with a stable and well-formed set of rules. Balls for the game differ in different colors, they are much smaller and lighter than in Russian Billiards. The gate of pockets on the form have a rounded shape.
They're completely different. But, the only positive quality uniting the game can be considered a great mood and a sufficiently high level of excitement.
