Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Anchor Nurse as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Used in carambole billiards, an Anchor Nurse is a technique that is used in a situation where there is one object ball sitting frozen to a cushion, and a second object ball of the same group is sitting slightly out from the same rail. The cue ball is softly rebounded across of the faces of each ball, causing the 2nd object ball (which was slightly out from the rail) to become frozen, and causing the 1st object ball (which was frozen to the rail) to come to rest slightly out from the rail. The resulting layout of the two balls is the same as it was before, except that now, the 2nd ball is frozen, and first ball is slightly out from the rail. This allows the 2nd object ball to be in a perfect position to be struck again from the opposite side.
You can really rack points with the anchor nurse, but you don't need much skill for it. It is a dirty way to score.
