description Dynamic pyramid Overview

Dynamic pyramid is a regional variant of Russian pyramid billiards played on a large pool table with narrow pockets. The defining rule of the game is that any of the fifteen white balls can serve as the cue ball for a shot. After a stroke, the ball that was struck becomes the cue ball for the next turn, significantly increasing the game's strategic complexity. It is played by cue sports enthusiasts who prefer highly technical games that require precise positional play.
