How does english affect the shot? I thought english only affects the cue ball on contact with a cushion? Many thanks.

[choongtzezhu]

@Jas0nP balls can impart english on one another, there is quite a good video which explains this, but i don't remember what it is

imagine the balls are like cogs, when one moves in one direction, it makes the other one move in the opposite direction

[crime943]

wat other drills to improve strokeing of the cue stick are ther

[Firefox867]

What a great tip. Thanks.

[achanggreenroom]

worth doing daily before play, as a way to keep your fundamentals in check and works very well as a confidence booster!

[thelastsamuraj]

[larakiCroft]

[Paperb0y112]

[LeonFleisherFan]

Terrific drill, looking simple, this will send some people to the nuthouse (myself included). Thanks!

[aardvaark069]

No one ever points out that, in these types of drills you have to mark the table so that your alignment for the shot is EXACTLY at 90 degrees to the end rail. If not at 90 degrees and the cue ball comes back to your tip then you are imparting sidespin on the cueball.

[mreisma]

i would think that their should be 3 drills, the first being just the cue ball, then the 2 drills u suggested.

[SANDLOLZ2]

what do you mean by 'english' im brand new to pool sorry =(

[forcefollow]

Its sidespin on the cueball. Browse my channel I have several videos on it.

oh stfu.

[nathan777110]

dood you rock

[rhmsr63]

i will try it. thanks

[BigRigTom]

I really like this drill. I have done it my self lots of times and it is VERY difficult to hit it perfectly straight and after a while you can start to see the improvements in your stroke from this one drill.

Good job forcefollow!

Thanks

[forcefollow]

Glad I could help.

Here's a tip to test a table for "perfection" (no table is perfect). If you know that a shot from a corner pocket to the opposite rail at a distance on that rail halfway to that opposite side pocket will result in pocketing the ball into the side pocket on the same rail from the corner you shoot, you can practice on tables in bars, etc to test the table by simply going around the table and hitting that shot. If you are consistently hitting the same spot NEAR that pocket, you can judge it.

[dougnhouston]

Actually I just now saw "testing a table" by forcefollow and he also mentions this method for testing tables as well as some others...good information.

[lopside0]

I feel this drill is a little impractical. Because successive hits exaggerate imperfections in aim many times over, I would suspect that success here depends more on equipment and chance than anything else. I'd be pretty surprised to meet someone who can do this five times in a row. Or even three.

[dougnhouston]

If you balls are clean and you're on a clean table, th is shouldn't be too difficult to do 5 times in a row at all...you have to remember that if you're just a slight angle off, that's a result that you may have shot a slight angle off, but if you're close within a very small percentage, you're going to pocket your object ball.

[budomushin]

this is a stroke drill rather than aiming...but ofcourse stroke relates to aiming but aiming more goes with hand to eye coordination.

[mowgli225001]

if u want to learn to curve and do many other stuff check out my video on my channel

[Ihatemyself3]

Side spin.

[mumps1980]

just one question (since i'm not a native speaker). what is "english" that's mentioned here?

[othb15]

its when you hit the cue (white) ball left or right of the center of the ball

[dougnhouston]

"English" is any application from the cue tip to the cue ball that is not dead center, IE left, right, top, bottom, bottom right (45 degrees), bottom-left, etc...then a measure of how many cue tips in whichever direction you're applying the "English".

[Xx12yiNxX]

yeah i agree with BigDTinyE, most pool halls iv been too theres always a slight curve, i always check if the tables slanted by putting a ball on the long rail and hitting it with another ball really slow to see if the object ball comes off the rail

[BigDTinyE]

The table has to be perfect as well as your stroke here.

[purplehazer42]

I love your videos man, you got skills.

Good show

[rotinknee2]

ditto

[batmancrammarc]
