hey man I am new at pool but really want to get into it. Does the cue really make that much difference as far as getting good english on the ball? I dont want to spend $500 on a cue if you can do the same thing with a standard cue. Thanks for your help

[Natesdeskyou]

@2175hunterboy -- I'm no expert but I used to do table runs in 8-ball games and do lots of draw shots and even routinely do masse shots, jump shots with a $50 cue. I used a 2 piece "sneaky pete" style cue made by the "Player" company with a "Le Pro" tip that comes stock on the cue and costs only $8 to replace. Its a great stick to learn with. Experiment with different cues, shafts (shaft stiffness and TIP diameter) and tip hardness to see what you like.

Hey force o was wanting to ask u a couple of questions can u reply back an I will give u my email

[OneGreatGuy7]

Does the hardness of your cue tip effect draw, or any other spin for that matter

[forcefollow]

@OneGreatGuy7 The softer the tip the better it contacts the ball. So yes softer tips help with draw.

[Bladerunner55217]

@forcefollow How high up do you have the butt of the cue ? I have been training to stroke my shots with my cue low and almost level for many shots. So then I tried one time elevating my cue a little and hitting draw shot and it drew allot. Thanks for your time.

[mycannon223]

That kid was funny. Good video's man. Hope they help for my pool league tonight!

[blindahl78]

Oh man I'm really struggling to get the object ball to come closer than a diamond from the head rail after it bounced off it. I'm struggling with my stroke in general but I seem to miss cue when hitting the cue ball any lower to decrease the amount of force used.

I'm beginning to think I need to invest in a new cue tip since it's used for at least 3-4 years now. Good to have something to blame though. ;) I know this is a old post from you but I always appreciate them! Thanks!

[fraxiont]

is that forcefollow junior?

[giorclano]

i love that little kid

[omega666ification]

hello forcefollow when the cue ball is at a great distance from the object ball its very difficult for me to get draw is there a certain stroke pethod that u should give which varies a bit from the one u just demonstrated ?

[hyrael2]

Nice little boy trying to play with you :P

[bushputz]

[nunolee]

let baby play

[elefanculo]

Stupid video. Spin back the ball so near is quite easy as an idiot can do. Why don't you put a video when you draw back a ball hit on a full table shot? Ehehe, this is really to difficult for you too...go practice a bit before doing stupid lessons..

[Staab0]

Just one question..

I have an amateur cue, those really cheap.

I can do back spin but its pretty hard, and dont look like you used too much strenght to make that backspin...

[tifferdile1]

Reverse spin is not about the cue... the only element of the cue that will really affect it that much is the quality of the tip. If you have a good tip you're fine. The amount of backspin you're getting is based on having a good cue tip and then just having good technique. If your tip is well chalked and in good condition then it's just your technique.

[Zach014789]

its not about the strength its all about the stroke.

[hayato10]

I agree.. I always use too much strength but I don't get a proportional draw I should be getting. So sometimes I hit it light and because I follow through the stroke well and steady, the cueball draws back further than with more strength and less followthrough.

[Zach014789]

yeah. For me man its all in the brain. I can do it but its a mental habit to hit it harder on long draw shots. Many people have this problem naturally. Hard to overcome it, takes thousands of hours.

[MYLENEIL]

I have been practicing your training techniques. Check out my improvement on my page where I am practicing on a full size snooker table

[caafa]

this is the best "introduction to backspin" video on youtube! thanks!

[enwhylarka]

All your videos are great. Just a quickie, what cloth are you using?

[forcefollow]

I was using the head spot. But you could use pieces of chalk or shreds of paper.

[gamefreak1398]

hahah that little kid at the left side at the end of the video is TIGHT

[caafa]

that kid is probably gonna be the next ronnie o'sullivan lol

[cyruseven]

We've spoke before. this is a nice drill, thank you!

[d1ckrichard]

hey you got a new table ! nice

[SeanSolarboy]

so serious, lighten up a bit

[Volokentrikazn]

second drill just teaches stroke over power. That increases accuracy when you have to draw a long distance, so i would say the second drill is the money maker as far as those particular drills

[mjerew]

are you using worsted cloth

[forcefollow]

I am using 860 and it does make a difference.
