ACEY Meaning and
Definition
-
Acey is a term commonly used in the game of pool, specifically in the variation known as "Acey Deucey." It refers to a situation in which the cue ball strikes one of the object balls and then another object ball, resulting in a successful shot.
In Acey Deucey, the game begins with all the object balls positioned on the table in a random fashion, usually in a triangular rack formation. The objective is to pocket all the balls in any order, with the exception of the cue ball, which is used to strike the object balls. When a player successfully pockets an object ball by hitting it directly into a pocket, it is considered a legal shot. However, an "acey" occurs when the cue ball first contacts one object ball and then another, leading to the pocketing of the second object ball. This is typically achieved by aiming the cue ball to hit the first object ball in a way that it deflects and strikes a different object ball, thus pocketing it.
The term "acey" is often used to describe a skillful shot in Acey Deucey, as it requires precision, control, and an understanding of angles and ball collision. It adds an element of strategy and excitement to the game, as players must carefully plan their shots to create the opportunity for an acey.
