A faulty shot in billiards is a shot that does not go as intended. It can be caused by a variety of factors, such as poor aim, incorrect technique, or a misjudgment of the angle of the shot. Common terms for a faulty shot in billiards are 'mishit' (6 letters), 'masse' (5 letters), 'CAROM' (5 letters), and 'AMISS' (5 letters). A mishit is when the cue ball does not make contact with the object ball, a masse is a shot where the cue ball is hit with a high degree of spin, a CAROM is a shot where the cue ball hits two object balls, and an AMISS is a shot where the cue ball misses all of the object balls.
