placed anywhere in/at the baulk/balk end of the table

The balk/baulk end of a snooker/pool/billiards table is where the cue ball (white ball) is placed at the start of a game (or if the white is itself potted).

In your first instance, the opponent can place the cue ball at the baulk end only, in the second instance he can place it anywhere on the table (e.g. after a foul).

Reference: misspent youth ;-)
