What is a "push shot"?

A push shot in basketball is a type of shot where the player uses a one-handed push motion to shoot the ball toward the basket. The player typically holds the ball with both hands but releases it with one hand, pushing it smoothly and directly toward the hoop. This shot is often used when a player is close to the basket and needs a quick release. It requires good hand control and timing to make sure the ball goes in the right direction and at the correct speed.

Example

(cue sports) a foul where the cue tip remains in contact with the cue ball at the moment of cueing

What is a "push shot"?

A push shot is an illegal move in pool or snooker where the player strikes the cue ball in such a way that the tip of the cue stick stays in contact with the ball for longer than a brief moment, effectively "pushing" it instead of striking it. This action gives the player extra control over the cue ball, which can result in an unfair advantage. A push shot usually occurs when a player tries to hit a ball that is very close to the cue ball, and it is against the rules in most cue sports.

Example

The push shot resulted in a loss of turn for the player.

The player regretted the push shot that cost him the match.

The opponent was awarded four points due to a push shot by his competitor.
