There are many pool terms that you need to be familiar with, depending on which game you are playing. These terms can help you win the game. In Snooker, for example, you might know the "curve shot," which is a shot that is used to make an opponent hop over a cue ball. A bank shot is another term that you may be familiar with. This refers to hitting the cueball off a cushion before it contacts 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 is an important pool term, as it signifies where you will rack your balls at the start of the game.
The pool table's "head string" includes "stripes", "solids", and other features. Solids are balls that are fully colored and numbered between 9 and 15.
You can have either eight or three pockets on a pool table. You must sink the balls in the correct order to win the game. If you play the correct order of the balls, you can win the game in just one turn. However, you won't lose if you don’t play all of the balls in the correct order. Before you play each ball, it is important to call them.
Cue sticks are long wooden sticks that are used to hit the cue ball. The tips of the cue sticks can be either hard or soft. The cuestick is slightly larger that the other balls on a table. The cue stick can have spots on it, but it is usually white or blue. Chalk can be used to keep the cue stick on 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. Although the ferrule is typically hard, you can choose a soft one. You might also find a scratch on a cuestick. This is a small, sharpened object that can be found on the cuestick. It is used in almost every kind of pool game.
You should also be familiar with the term "shock" which refers to a chemical that burns organic waste. This chemical is used to kill bacteria and algae. It can also be used to disinfect the water and remove haze.
The pool table also has rails, which are holes within the rails. This term can be used for the long rails on the pool table. It can also be used as a term for the short rails on one side of a table.
