English billiards, a distinct cue sport, blends elements of both American pool and snooker, requiring players to score points by making strategic shots with a cue ball. Played on a table without pocketing as the main objective, it focuses on technical mastery and precision, challenging players to use advanced techniques like potting and cannons. The game’s long history dates back to the 17th century, evolving with standardized rules and becoming a respected competitive sport. Its complexity, along with the tactical and skill-based nature of play, continues to captivate billiards enthusiasts worldwide.
