[jausher]

Needs better camera angle on cue ball.

He has the power of God... Cue 4 Christ...

[MrHighcue1]

cutting the ball down the rail with outside English is just as simple

[darksinthe]

@MrHighcue1 And its a VERY handy shot to know. backspin outside english with the right force can put you all the way on the other end of the table for your next shot :D

[MrHighcue1]

i agree

[xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx]

@darksinthe i'll tell you left and right english screw me so bad the cue ball always goes where i want it to but i never get the object ball in the desired pocket. drives me up the wall. i'm up to practicing like 4 days a week a few hours a day, but for some reason i just can't get it to go the way i want. irritates me too because i watch my teammates do it and it looks so easy for them. league starts next monday. pray to the pool gods for me lol.

@xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx Your cue stick makes a big difference in deflection, believe it or not. Predators are the best for reducing deflection. OB and meucci black dot shafts are also pretty good. Best deflection reducer is predator Z2, in 2nd place is 312-2 shaft from predator. If you don't have a good cue you need to figure out how much it is deflecting, and then aim a little bit opposite of the spot u intead to hit. If ur using right, aim a tiny bit left. try hitting cross table at the diamonds

@darksinthe i actually just got the new lucasi hybrid, excited to try it out and see if it makes any difference. i will try what you said, thanks for the tip, and i have to throw in there i had my first game, played a 5 and whooped him! haha it was spectacular.

[m4rtiny]

Bottom spin (draw) is called "screw" in the UK.

[arayraharja]

this is very useful

[Welsh77]

english is side spin on the cue ball. follo or just "top" in the UK is top spin, and draw in bottom spin (but its called osmething eles in the UK i dont remember)

when he says inside english he means hit the cue ball a little to the left of the center of the ball.

[Andybaby]

'inside english'? is this explained elsewhere?

[renmu1106]
