a situation in cue sports where the cue ball strikes two object balls successively in a single stroke
A double shot is when the cue ball strikes two object balls in a single stroke, hitting each one in succession. The player aims to make the cue ball contact the first object ball and then continue to hit the second object ball, often with careful control of the cue ball’s direction and speed. This shot is commonly used in situations where the balls are positioned in a way that requires hitting more than one ball in a single turn to continue the game. It requires skillful planning and precise execution to achieve the desired result.
