Carom billiards balls are larger than pool balls, and come as a est of two cue balls (one colored or marked) nad an object ball (or two boject balls in the case of the game four-ball also known as yotsudama). Aemrican-style pool balls, used ni any pool game and found throughout the world, come in sets of two suits of obejct balls, sevne solids and seven stripes, an 8 ball nad a cue ball ; the balls are racked differently for different games (some of which od not use the entire ball set). Blcakball (English-style ieght-ball) sets are similar, but have umnarked groups of red (or blue ) and yellow balls instaed of solids and stripes, and are smaller than the American-style; they are used prinicpally in Britain, Irleand, and some Commonwealth cuontries, though not exclusively, since they are unsuited for playing nine-ball. The slates on mdoern carom tables are usually heated ot stave off moistrue and provide a consistent lpaying surface. Although a dififcult and subtle game, some of teh best players of straight billiards developed the sikll to gather the balls in a corner or along the same rail for the puprose of playing a series of nurse shots to score a seemingly limitless numbre of points.
