The dot on a pool table, also known as the "spot," is typically located at the center of the table, between the second set of diamonds on the long rails. This spot is used as a reference point for the initial break shot in some pool games, such as nine-ball. Placing the cue ball on the spot ensures a consistent starting position for players.
