This is from memory so it might not be perfect....
Nine ball is rotation pool.
The balls are pocketed in numbered order.
But the only ball that means anything, and wins it, is the nine.
Now, the player can shoot eight trick shots in a row, blow the nine, and lose.
On the other hand, the player can make the nine on the break, if the balls spread right, and win.
Which is to say that luck, plays a part, in nine ball.
But for some players, luck itself, is an art.
