Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Push Shot as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A push shot is a shot where the player's cue tip remains in contact with the cue ball for a period of time that is greater than just the moment commensurate with a normal shot. This constitutes a foul. A push shot in snooker occurs when the cue tip contacts the cue ball more than one time in any shot. This is also known as a double hit. It is also a push shot in snooker if the cue stick, the cue ball, and the ball on are all in contact at the same time. The exception to this rule is when the cue ball and the ball on are frozen together. In these situations, special dispensation is given when the player strikes the cue ball in a downward of off angle manner.
