How can you effectively jump a pool ball to make a difficult shot?

To effectively jump a pool ball for a difficult shot, you need to use a special cue stick called a jump cue. Position the cue ball close to the object ball, angle the jump cue at a 45-degree angle, and strike the cue ball just below its center with a quick and controlled stroke. This will make the cue ball jump over obstacles and hit the object ball for a successful shot. Practice and precision are key to mastering this technique.

How do you make a jump shot in billiards?

The cue stick is elevated to at least 45 degrees and the cue is quickly stroked through the cue ball pushing the cue ball into the table slate, which makes it then rebound into the air. People not knowing how to perform a jump shot attempt to "scoop" the cue ball, using a cue stick not elevated enough and striking below the center of the cue ball. In tournament play and conventional pool rules, this "scoop" is an illegal shot, and will give the table over to the opponent.

How does squirt impact a pool shot?

Squirt refers to the deviation of the cue ball's path from the aim line due to using side english. This can impact a pool shot because the cue ball will not be traveling where you are aiming exactly, and so you will not execute the shot as intended. If you are hitting the cue ball with right english (on the right side of the cue ball, as you are looking at it down on the shot), the cue ball will have a tendency to squirt to the left as you stroke through the cue ball. The amount of squirt depends on how far to the right you hit the cue ball (vs a center ball hit on the aim line) and how hard you hit the cue ball.


What are the rules behind the line for the pool scratch?
