Bramley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (171 words)
"Bramley" is also a term given to a particular shot played in either pool, billiards or snooker or any game of that variety.
Similar to a 'shank', it is when the ball wishing to be sunk sits on the edge of a pocket, and the player manages to remove the ball back out onto the table without sinking it.
It can be intentional if the ball is not yours, or it can be an error for a person wishing to sink that particular ball.
