What makes a cannon shot? Is it when the cue ball strikes two object balls, or is it when the cue ball makes two object balls collide?

    In snooker, a cannon is when the cue ball strikes the object ball and then goes on to strike a secndary object ball, the second ball being 'cannoned'.

    When the cue ball strikes the object ball and the object ball goes on to stirke a secondary ball, that's called a plant. Maybe it's called something different in pool, I don't know.

    Hope this helps, I assume you are American, (most AB users are), but your profile doesn't specify.

    Never heard of scrub! Sorry.
