Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Having The Cue Ball On A String as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A player is said to be having the cue ball on a string when they are playing very good position play and perfectly controlling where the cue ball comes to rest after each shot. The term is derived from the fact that the player is positioning the cue ball so well that he or she couldn't position the cue ball any better if they had it literally attached to a string and could pull the string to control where it came to rest.
