Trick Shot

A trick shot (also trickshot or trick-shot) is a shot played on a billiards table (most often a pool table, though snooker tables are also used), which seems unlikely or impossible or requires significant skill. They frequently organize the balls in ways that are unlikely or impossible to appear in normal play, such as balls being in a straight line, or use props such as extra cues or a triangle that would not be allowed on the table during a game. As an organized cue sports discipline, trick shot competition is known as artistic pool.

Famous quotes containing the words trick and/or shot:

    Suspicion all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes;
    Treason is but trusted like the fox,
    Who never so tame, so cherished and locked up,
    Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I shot an arrow into the air,
    It fell to earth, I knew not where;
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
