Name this sound: You're playing pool and your cue stick hits the ball in the wrong way and it makes that awful clacking noise.

A miscue.

Miscue is too technical... that's why I decided it needed a new name

Some sort of variation on 'twang' with a little 'click' mixed in. Twick? Twack?

It's the sound of failure.

Everyone I play with says "awwww I shanked it!" when that happens.

Cue shank or cue clack.
