The term 'billiards shots' can refer to a variety of shots in the game of billiards, such as the carom shot. A carom shot is a shot in which the cue ball strikes two other balls in succession, usually resulting in the cue ball rebounding off the second ball and into a pocket. This type of shot is often used to set up a combination shot, where the player will use the carom shot to position the cue ball for a more difficult shot.
