To ball a jack refers possibly to the action of risking a shot in Boules, or Bocce or its sister game Petanque. The jack in either case is the smaller ball for which the goal of the game is to either throw your team's ball closest to it, or to knock away your opponent's ball. To hit the target ball to another location, or to ball the jack, is to alter the focus of the gameplay.
