Yam

The act in cue sports, especially in 8-Ball Pool, 9-Ball Pool, and Snooker, of deliberately impacting the cue ball with unnecessary force in an apparently random direction in hopes of fluke-ing a shot which will not end in a scratch/foul.

Especially relevant when the result of the impact results in a correctly pocketed/potted ball.
