Gecko published on



8-ball, nine ball, straight pool, snooker = several types of billiards

pool table = a bounded table on which cue sports are played break behind the head string = a line (sometimes imaginary) that passes between the second diamonds on the long rails and through the head spot solids = monocoloured balls stripes = balls with stripes pocket = an opening at the corner or on the side of the table into which balls are struck pocket = to drive (a ball) into a pocket rack balls = unite balls on the surface of the table using the triangular rack. Place the one ball at the apex over the marker on the pool table. Randomly fill in the other balls, ensuring the ten ball is in the middle of the third row. To ensure a tight rack for ten ball, place all fifteen balls in the rack when setting up the game break balls = to start a game shoot balls = hit with a cue(=billiards stick)
