Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Professional Side Of The Pocket as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
To use the professional side of the pocket means to be extremely cautious by overcutting a tough cut shot rather than undercutting it in nine ball. The professional side of the pocket is called such because experienced billiard players know that on a thin cut shot, to overcut the ball will more often leave the ball in a bad position for the incoming opponent that will an undercut shot that leaves the ball right in front of the pocket for an easy shot.
I'd rather miss on the professional side of the pocket by overcutting the shot.
