Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Push Out as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Push out refers to a rule in most games, especially after the break shot in nine ball, that allows the player to push out the cue ball to a new position without the requirement of contacting, pocketing, or driving to a rail, any ball. On the flip side of a push out, any pocketed balls are not counted as pocketed balls. With the push out, the opponent is able to shoot from the new cue ball position or elect to give the shot back to the pusher who then is required to shoot from the new position. The push out can be used in strategic play, where pocketing the money ball on a push out shot results in that ball being respotted. This is of strategic advantage in situations where the break shot leaves no available shot on the ball on, and a failure to hit it would give the incoming player an instant win easy shot on the money ball.
I elect to push out, and I want to invoke the push out rule.
