Pool Shark Side Tear Checks

Billiards, Not Buckets!

You might be surprised by some of the entries in a billiards glossary. We sure were!

For example, we learned that "jump shot" isn't the basketball-specific term we thought it was. It turns out that it's also used in pool to describe a ball that goes airborne during a shot.

Then there's the "shot clock." Basketball needs a shot clock because the game once grew dismally dull due to the "four corners strategy." That's when certain teams (we're too nice to mention which ones) would monopolize time of possession by passing the ball to each other indefinitely. Since winning scores like 20-14 didn't generate much excitement for the game, the shot clock was born.

But pool -- c'mon! As far as we're concerned, when it comes to that game, the only thing you should have to rush is your order for Pool Shark Side Tear Checks and matching address labels. Personalize yours today!
