Riley Russian Pyramid Billiards Table for Sale! $7500
Russian Pryamid Billiards
Ultimate Billiards has one of the only Russian Pyramid Billiard Tables on the entire East Coast of the USA. This is an incredible game which is primarily played in the Soviet Union and Finland. This is the most challenging game of pocket billiards available. The game is played on a 6' by 12' foot table with 68mm balls. The corner pockets are 4-5mm wider than the balls. The side pockets are 14-15mm wider than the balls. If you see a guy running balls on this table, you might want to think twice before barking at him. This table will be hosting some of the greatest ring games in Florida.
There are several variations of Russian Billiards, but the three most common are free (or "American") pyramid, combined (or Moscow) pyramid and dynamic (or Petersburg) pyramid. All games start with fifteen numbered white balls racked in a pyramid, as in straight pool. The first player breaks the rack with the cue ball from the baulk line. The object of the games is to pocket eight balls to win the frame. In free pyramid at all times any ball may be used as a cue ball. In combined and dynamic pyramid only one ball is a cue ball. After pocketing the cue ball, the scorer must choose a white ball to be taken off the table. In combined pyramid, then the player places the cue ball in the baulk area. Balls can be pocketed in side and far corner pockets only. In dynamic pyramid, the player places the cue ball at any area of the table, but may not pocket the cue ball.
