The term 'FIRST SHOTS IN BILLIARDS' can be summarized as the 'breaks' which is a 6 letter word. In billiards, the break shot is the first shot of a game, in which the object is to scatter the balls across the table with the cue ball behind the head string. The player who breaks must hit one of the racked balls first and then any ball must hit a rail or pocket for the break to be considered legal. The player who breaks in the game is determined by a coin toss or lag.
