Hi.

Many of these, you can just look up here on SpanishDict. For example, if you look up cue, you'll find (billiards) el taco, and if you look up pocket, you'll find (billiards) la tronera.

On the other hand, SpanishDict doesn't know what straight 8 is. Nor do I.

A few other terms:

  • to break: romper
  • balls: bolas
  • chalk: tiza
  • shot: golpe

I don't know your level of Spanish (your profile doesn't tell me), but perhaps this glossary will help you.
