Failure at table to avoid row becoming audible (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miscue

'failure at table' is the definition.
(bad shot in cue sports)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for miscue that I've seen before include "Bad hit in snooker" , "Faulty snooker shot" , "Faulty shot on the green baize" , "Parapraxis (from a term used in billiards)" , "Strike all wrong" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
