If the cue ball and object ball contact is not dead-on but still very full, the result will often be a "stun" shot, where the cue ball departs the object ball in the expected direction but travels only a short distance. The stun effect can often be enhanced with a minimal amount of draw, to reduce cue ball speed before impact with the object ball.
In modern usage, the most general meaning of the word refers to any type of strike and rebound, [36] (a carambole) off a cushion or especially a ball. 2. More specifically, short for a carom shot, a cannon in British terminology, in which a point is scored in carom billiards games by careening the cue ball into the two object balls. [21] 3.
Each combination of balls beginning with the 1 and the 2 should be aligned so they aim toward the next ball in the chain. The cue ball must be set up in position to make a straight line with the first two-ball combination. When the 1 ball is hit it should cause a chain reaction as each two-ball set hits each other. [15]
A two-handed approach is a bowling technique whereupon the throwing hand is in the bowling ball and the opposite hand is also placed on the ball during the shot. This is an evolution of the one-handed no-thumb technique, where a bowler would generate similar revolutions but could not be as effective because their opposite hand does not support ...
Pack of reds, not touching the pink. Snooker balls, like Billiard balls, are typically made of phenolic resin, and are smaller than American pool balls.Regulation snooker balls (which are specified in metric units) are nominally 52.5 mm (approximately 2 + 1 ⁄ 15 inches) in diameter, though many sets are actually manufactured at 52.4 mm (about 2 + 1 ⁄ 16 in).
Cam Ward sat out the second half of Miami's Pop-Tarts Bowl loss to Iowa State, with the Hurricanes falling 42-41. Social media had a lot to say:
A top occurs when the player strikes the top half of the golf ball causing it to dribble along the ground and come up severely short of the intended target. A fat shot occurs when the forward edge of the clubhead strikes the ground behind the ball first, causing the shot to come up short of the target.
In sports, backspin or underspin refers to the reverse rotation of a ball, in relation to the ball's trajectory, that is imparted on the ball by a slice or chop shot. Backspin generates an upward force that lifts the ball (see Magnus effect). [1] While a normal hit bounces well forward as well as up, backspin shots bounce higher and less forward.
