Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Position Play as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Position play involves consistently controlling the movement of the cue ball and to a lesser extent, other object balls, after the cue ball strikes the object ball, in order to gain a subsequent favorable shooting position. Position play is considered a technique that is employed by skilled players with a high level of knowledge on angles, post-impact trajectory, ball speed, and many other factors. The goal of position play is normally to ensure that the next shot is as easy as possible.
Position play is a very important offensive billiard strategy.
