What is a "cue sport"?
A cue sport is a type of sport played with balls on a flat surface, usually a table, where players use a cue stick to strike the balls. The goal is often to score points by potting the balls into pockets or by controlling the movement of the balls in a particular way. Common cue sports include billiards, snooker, and pool, each with its own set of rules and playing styles. These sports require precision, control, and strategy, as players need to plan their shots carefully to outplay their opponent. Cue sports are popular both recreationally and in competitive events.
