Some shots are the bank shot, which is hitting the cue ball into an object ball off a rail and into a pocket. Draw shot, which is putting bottom english on the cue ball, and making it draw back when it hits the object ball. Follow in shot, which is putting top english on the cue ball, and making it follow the cue ball follow through. For more info, go to the link i pasted. http://www.jimloy.com/billiard/billiard.htm

Banks, kicks, caroms, and combinations. That's just pocketing balls. (Potting if you're British) As for cue control; draw, follow, stun, stop, stun-run-through (a subtle variant of follow), jump, what I call a traveling jump (where the cue takes to the air after contacting an object ball), and the cushion jump. My girl friend was most unhappy once when I made the only shot available. A kick, combination, carom shot to the side pocket.
