BHE-Squirt-Deflection Demonstration

This is a good video to understand whats happening. There are some videos out there trying to show how parallel english affects cue squirt, etc. They are just plain ridiculous. If you are aiming parallel to the line of contact and hitting the cue ball off center, of course it will deflect a lot, because you are changing the angle from which the cue ball it struck by the tip. You have to stroke across the aiming line to compensate for the squirt due to english.

a simple but very well done demonstration. Your "BHE" description is basically how I adjust when using english as well. I set up for a center ball shot and then after I have my body alignment and general aim, I make the same type of adjustment that you are demonstrating for applying english. Repetition with an aim line is a great idea because different cues have different degrees of deflection and the repetition gives you the ability to adjust properly for your own cue.
