Can you jump in 9-ball?
Unlike some other cue sports, such as snooker, players are allowed to jump the cue ball over other balls. However, if any ball leaves the cloth at the end of a shot, it is counted as a foul. Jumping is common in nine-ball, and players often have a dedicated jump cue.

Is 8 ball pool harder than 9-ball?
Since 9-Ball is more of a shooter's game and 8-Ball more of a thinker's game, 8-Ball is harder to master. Eight Ball is the better game for the novice because they can more easily cover up their mistakes with a little strategy. Nine Ball is less forgiving and demands more shot-making skills.
