Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of String as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
In various indoor games, a string is usually a score or tally, as in American billiard games, marked by buttons threaded on a string or wire. String may also refer to the unmarked lines that run across and along the bed of a billiard table as defined by the diamond markings on each rail. Examples of this type of string would be the long string, head string, and foot string. A string also refers to a series of successive billiard game wins within a match or race.
String that last point across for me will you?
When you shot that, it went past the long string. I didn't think it was possible with those blocking balls.
