Depending on the game you play, there are several pool terms to know. These terms can help win the game. One example of this is the "curveshot" which is a shot designed to make an opponent leap over a cueball. You might also be aware of "bank shot," which is the act of hitting the cue ball off the cushion before contacting 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", an imaginary spot where the long string intersects, is called pool. This line can be used to indicate where you will rack up your balls in the first game.
The pool table's "head string" includes "stripes", "solids", and other features. Stripes are balls numbered nine to fifteen and solids balls that are completely coloured.
A pool table can be equipped with either eight or three pockets. The object is to place all the balls in the proper 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. You must call each ball before you play them.
The cue stick is a long wooden stick that is used to hit the cue ball. The cue stick may have soft or hard tips. The cue stick is a little bit larger than the other balls on the table. The cue stick can have spots on it, but it is usually white or blue. To help the cue sticks stay on the cueball, you can use chalk. 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. The ferrule, which is part of the cuestick below the tip, may be also present. 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 tool that sharpens the stick. It can be used in any type of pool game.
The "shock" is one of the terms you need to be aware of. This chemical burns organic wastes. This chemical is used for killing bacteria and algae. It can also disinfect water and remove haze.
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 refer to the rails that are shorter on the opposite side.
