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. The "bank shot" is also a way to hit the cue balls off the cushion, before hitting the object ball.
There are many terms in pool. The "head string" is a line that runs parallel to the head rail. The "head spot" can be described as an imaginary area that intersects the string. This line is an important pool term, as it signifies where you will rack your balls at the start of the game.
The "head string" is not the only thing that the pool table has. It also has "stripes” and "solids." Stripes refer to balls that range in number from 9 to 15, while solids are balls which 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 of the game in pool is to make sure that all the balls are sunk in the right order. If all of the balls are in the correct order, you can win in one turn. However, you won't lose if you don’t play all of the balls in the correct order. You will have to call each ball before you play it.
The cue stick, a long wooden object that is used for hitting the cue ball, is a long stick made of wood. The tips of the cue sticks can be either hard or soft. The cue sticks are slightly larger than the balls on the tables. It can have spots but is usually either white or blue. Chalk can also be used to ensure that the cuestick sticks to the cue ball. A sight shape is a small object that lines up 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. You can use a hard ferrule if you wish. Sometimes a cue stick might have a scratch. This is a small object that sharpens the cue stick. It is used in almost every kind of pool game.
The "shock" is one of the terms you need to be aware of. This chemical burns organic wastes. This chemical can be used to kill bacteria as well as algae. It can also help to remove haze and disinfect the water.
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 to refer the the shorter rails on either side of the table.
