Errant pool shot (6)

I believe the answer is:

miscue

(Other definitions for miscue that I've seen before include "going to pot" , "Parapraxis (from a term used in billiards)" , "Faulty strike" , "Strike snooker ball badly" , "Faulty shot on the green baize" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
