Depending on the game you play, there are several pool terms to know. 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. You may also know the "bank shot," which involves hitting the cueball off the cushion before it reaches the object ball.
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 a useful pool term because it indicates where you will rack your balls in the beginning of the game.
In addition to the "head string," the pool table also has "stripes" and "solids." Solids are balls that are fully colored and numbered between 9 and 15.
A pool table can be equipped with either eight or three pockets. The object of the game, however, is to get all the balls down in the correct order. If all of the balls are in the correct order, you can win in 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. You will have to call each ball before you play it.
Cue stick is a long, wooden stick used to hit a cue ball. The cue stick may have soft or hard tips. The cuestick is slightly bigger than the other balls. It can have spots but is usually either white or blue. You can also use chalk to help the cue stick stay on the cue ball. You may also find it helpful to use a sight form, which is a small object that assists you in lining up your shot.
Cue sticks can be made of a variety of materials, including a stick made from wood, rubbery, or plastic. A ferrule can also be found on a cue stick. This is the part below the tip. You can use a hard ferrule if you wish. The scratch can also be present on a cuestick. This small object is used to sharpen the cue 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 in order to kill 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 can be used to refer to the long rails of the table. It is also used to refer to the short rails on the opposite side of the table.
