Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Roll Up as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Roll up is a light or gentle cue ball tap that is executed with the intention of getting it in as tight as possible behind another ball so as to create a snooker situation for the incoming player. The roll up is most commonly seen in the game of snooker, and is actually not a legal safety move in many billiard and pool games, where each shot must either yield a pocketed ball, or a ball driven to a cushion after contacting the object ball.
It is snooker we're playing mate, why don't you roll up on the brown and snooker your opponent, since you have no other shot.
