Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Bottom as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Bottom is another term for draw. One can apply bottom to a shot by simply striking the cue ball below the equator. When bottom is applied to the cue ball, the cue ball spins backward, even while sliding ahead on the cloth toward the object ball. This backward spin causes friction which causes the cue ball to either stop or begin to roll backward after striking the object ball.
Yank put a little bit of bottom on that last shot, and he left himself with a great opening for his next shot.
