Pool Terms and Billiards Phrases



how is pool played

There are many terms for pool depending on what game you are playing. These terms will help to win the game. You might be familiar with "curve shots" in Snooker. These are shots that are used to make opponents jump over cue balls. Another thing you might know is "bank shot," the act of striking the cue ball off of the cushion and contacting the object.

Pool refers to several terms. The "head string" is a line that runs parallel to the head rail. It's an imaginary spot that crosses the long strings. This line can be used to indicate where you will rack up your balls in the first game.

There are also "stripes", and "solids" on the pool table. Stripes are balls that are numbered from nine to fifteen, and solids are balls that are completely colored.

There are two options for a pool table: one can have eight pockets and the other three can have three. The object is to place all the balls in the proper order. If all of the balls are in the correct order, you can win in one turn. If you do not play all the ball in the correct order, however, you will still be able to win the game. Before you can play each ball, you will need to call it.


Cue sticks are long wooden sticks that are used to hit the cue ball. The tip of the cue ball may be either soft or tough. The cue sticks are slightly larger than the balls on the tables. The cue stick can have spots on it, but it is usually white or blue. Chalk can also be used to ensure that the cuestick sticks to the cue ball. You can also use a sight-shaped object to help you align your shot.

A cuestick can be made from a wood stick, a rubbery one, or a plastic one. A ferrule is an area of the cue stick that lies below the tip. The ferrule is usually hard, but you can use a soft one if you want. A scratch may be found on a cuestick. This is a small tool that sharpens the stick. This is used in all types of pool games.

The "shock" is one of the terms you need to be aware of. This chemical burns organic wastes. This chemical is used to kill bacteria and algae. It can also help to remove haze and disinfect the water.
