這種情況下擋住了自己舒服下桿的線路只有把握桿的後手高高抬起 擊打母球的上端 這樣失誤的幾率會增高。如圖；為什麼又叫"Chinese Snooker"
下面是國外一個檯球教練，對這個詞的由來的解析：中國古代的文字是從右往左寫的，而英國的文字是從左往右寫的，chinese snooker的意思就是，通常的snooker是在白球的前面有球擋著，而和這個情況相反，就是白球的後面被擋住，就像中文和英文的書寫習慣是相反的，所以叫chinese snooker。
這也許只是一種解釋，但是我只知道這種。來源於美國一個高級檯球教練，Bob Jewett。
以下是他解釋的原文：
My understanding is that Chinese characters are sometimes written right-to-left, or maybe top-to-bottom and then right-to-left, as opposed to English which is rarely written other than left to right. The person who told me the story implied that the snooker was "reversed" like the writing. I have no idea whether he was full of wisdom or something else. The explanation seems weak, but it is the only one I've heard.
他說這種解釋似乎有些牽強，但是這是他聽到的唯一的版本。
