There are many terms you should know, depending on the pool game. These terms can help you win. One example of this is the "curveshot" which is a shot designed to make an opponent leap over a cueball. Another thing you might know is "bank shot," the act of striking the cue ball off of the cushion and contacting the object.
There are several terms that pool players need to know, such as the "head string", which is a parallel line to the headrail. The "head spot" is an imaginary spot that intersects the long string. This line is a useful pool term because it indicates where you will rack your balls in the beginning of the game.
The "head string" is not the only thing that the pool table has. It also has "stripes” and "solids." Stripes are balls numbered nine to fifteen and solids balls that are completely coloured.
A pool table can have eight pockets or three pockets. The object of the game in pool is to make sure that all the balls are sunk in the right order. If you play the correct order of the balls, you can win the game in just one turn. But, this does not mean you can't win in one turn if you don't play all the balls in the right order. You will have to call each ball before you play it.
Cue sticks are long wooden sticks that are used to hit the cue ball. The cue stick may have soft or hard tips. The cuestick is slightly bigger than the other balls. Although the cue stick may have spots, it is generally white or blue. To help the cue sticks stay on the cueball, you can use chalk. It is also helpful to use a sight shape, which is a small object that helps you line up your shot.
A cuestick can be made from a wood stick, a rubbery one, or a plastic one. The ferrule is a portion of the stick beneath the tip. You can use a hard ferrule if you wish. Sometimes a cue stick might have a scratch. This is a small tool that sharpens the stick. This is used in all types of pool games.
You should also be familiar with the term "shock" which refers to a chemical that burns organic waste. This chemical is used for killing bacteria and algae. It can also be used for disinfecting water and removing haze.
There are also "rails" on the pool table, which are holes in its rails. This term is used to describe the long rails that run along the table. It can also be used as a term for the short rails on one side of a table.
