Une balle est frappé e n puissance lorsque le joueur y met toute sa force tout en orientant son tir pour bien placer sa balle; elle est frappée avec violence si cette force est issue de la rage (d'être en train de perde, d'avoir raté le coup précédent, de vouloir enfin triompher de cet adversaire, etc.), la balle ne retombant pas nécessairement en faveur de celui/celle qui l'a frappée. Ces deux termes rendent le sens de «power» mais, comme il y a lieu de choisir, il faut veiller à distinguer entre le contexte de l'impulsion positive d'une frappe en puissance et celui de la rage négative d'un boulet en violence. 6, record 2, French, - puissance
