What Is The Definition Of Double-Kiss In Billiards?
1. A double-kiss is a shot in billiards where the cue ball hits the target ball twice in one shot. This shot can be intended or unintended. If a player hits the cue ball too hard, a double-kiss can occur because the cue ball is moving faster than the target ball. If the target ball hits the rail or another ball and comes back to hit the cue ball, that is also a double-kiss.
A player can use a double-kiss strategically to make a shot. When the target ball is near the pocket, a player can double-kiss the target ball, causing it to be thrown in the pocket. The second hit is caused by the target ball bouncing off the cushion, and colliding with the cue ball to then go into the pocket. Using the correct speed and spin on the cue ball enables the player to make this shot. Using a double-kiss shot in this instance ensures the cue ball is not hit too hard and will stop in a position near where it started.
