object balls

Striped and solid spheres

In cue sports like pool and snooker, the object balls are the balls a player aims to pocket, as distinguished from the cue ball, which is struck directly with the cue stick.

The cue ball is the instrument; the object balls are the targets: She lined up the shot, sending the cue ball into the object ball at a sharp angle.
