Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Chuck Nurse as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
In straight rail billiards and other carom games, a chuck nurse is a scoring technique used when one object ball rests against the cushion and the second object ball is to one side of the first object ball and is slightly away from the cushion. The cue ball strikes the object ball at the cushion so that the cue ball just comes back to touch or carom the second object ball without moving it out of position for a similar subsequent shot. The chuck nurse technique was created to overcome Parkers box restrictions.
Nice chuck nurse shot Jimmy!
