There are many terms you should know, depending on the pool game. These terms can help you win the game. Snooker is an example. You may know the "curveshot," which is a shot that makes your opponent jump over a cueball. The "bank shot" is also a way to hit the cue balls off the cushion, before hitting the object ball.

Pool refers to several terms. The "head spot", an imaginary spot where the long string intersects, is called pool. This line is used in pool because it tells you where to rack your balls at beginning of game.

The pool table has more than just the "head string"; it also has "stripes and "solids." Solids are balls with a number between nine and fifteen. Stripes can be referred to as balls that have been completely colored.

There are two options for a pool table: one can have eight pockets and the other three can have three. The object of the game, however, is to get all the balls down in the correct order. If you play the correct order of the balls, you can win the game in just one turn. This does not mean that you cannot win the game in one turn even if all the balls are in the right order. Before you can play each ball, you will need to call it.


Cue stick is a long, wooden stick used to hit a cue ball. You can choose from soft or hard tips on your cue stick. The cue stick is slightly larger than other balls on the table. While the cue sticks can be stained, they are usually either blue or white. 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.

Cue sticks can be made of a variety of materials, including a stick made from wood, rubbery, or plastic. The ferrule, which is part of the cuestick below the tip, may be also present. The ferrule should be hard, but it is possible to use a more flexible one. Sometimes a cue stick might have a scratch. This is a small tool that sharpens the stick. It can be used for any 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 in order to kill bacteria and algae. This chemical can also be used in water disinfection and to remove haze.


snookers

There are also "rails" on the pool table, which are holes in its rails. The long rails at the table can also be referred to by this term. It can also be used for the short rails at the opposite end of the table.
