How to Play Pool : How to Use Backward English in Pool

[techiezeus]

i've never tried pool... but I've tried backward English. Hehe.

[MrHighcue1]

do you stroke a 100 times when you play a normal game of pool because i would make fun of you the whole time and i would probably half to pack a lunch to play you or i would starve to death or die from boredom!!!!!!!!!!

The best things to gain from any videos by this guy are common flaws most people don't know they have. For example, watch how he readjusts his bridge hand while he is down on the shot, and then stays down and shoots. A lot of players do this, and it is a really bad habit. You really shouldn't be repositioning your bridge hand without standing back up and resetting your aim. Also, you should learn a little bit about the game before calling yourself an "Expert" and making a shitty video.

[runoutman]

I just looked at one of his magic the gathering videos and the comments are just like these. everyone complaining that this retard is out there teaching about shit he doesn't understand

[joewizard100]

"backward english" Take this fucking video off now

[joeygonzo]

@joewizard100

lol

I guess draw is too short of a word.

[KKisforever]

you suck.

[DarkStyler94]

nice man nice ^^

[clementino07]

His cueing is really bad, he strokes the cue and bam all of a sudden he shoots, thats not good.

[s1llyvi3tb0i]

haha yea, and besides, he stood up after the last shot, didnt do a complete follow through at all

[9SuperMonkeyBall0]

@s1llyvi3tb0i yes he did, he did it real fast and hard, can you see the 10-ball roll on the other side, if he didn't use 100% follow through, the 10 ball would've never had made to the other side of the table.

[s1llyvi3tb0i]

@9SuperMonkeyBall0 lol nah, it's not a complete follow, a complete stroke can never be "hard and fast", it has to be smooth which is obviously not the case here

[9SuperMonkeyBall0]

@s1llyvi3tb0i then in that case, it's amazing how the 10-ball went from one side, to the other.

[s1llyvi3tb0i]

@9SuperMonkeyBall0 no offense though, you know that force/power is not really the factor of a good stroke right? And besides drawing from that short of distance, a bebinner can just jack the stick up and do that easily. There's a reason why the majority of people here said that it's not a good stroke

[9SuperMonkeyBall0]

@s1llyvi3tb0i I meant hard by a lot of power.

[runoutman]

for those of you who care it's called english because it was showed to us by the english. everywhere else in the world it's called side. and to reiterate follow and draw, or top and bottom for you fish, are not english. only right and left are english.

[dshowmaker]

god... bitch much?

[manofdorset]

why do you call it "english"

i am english

over here we call it "left" or "right" side.

to be more specific,its actually called left hand side or right hand side.

to pull the cue ball back its called "screwing" or "deep screwing" if you want to pull the cue ball back a long way and to make the cue ball follow through its called "top side" as opposed to left or right hand side.

[danmuntz]

Backward English? HAHAHAH WTF

[starmate]

why does my cue jump sometimes off the table when i try to put too much force, otherwise it justs stuns..

[Ryjeethan]

very common question

little do people relaize that draw has less to do with how hard you hit and more to do with form.

concentrate on keeping the cue level

stroking through the shot

on you final back strke after all your sets

slow is down a bit, some people pull back to hard and fast and of set their cue position, even a small amount will affect your draw. i hope this helps,

keep practicing im sure you will get it

[runoutman]

he's right but your problem probably also lies in the fact that your tip isn't properly shaped or scuffed.

[pirocan1]

my cue has a wooden tip..does that help?

[ProdigyKimXP]

@pirocan1 Hell no! My first cue i bought had one. I hated it and ended up buying a quality playing cue and used the wooden tip as a break cue till I could afford a real one.

[runoutman]

follow and draw are not english. you got action fish. people like you are the reason people can't play pool. they're listening to you and you can't play. you don't have a stroke but you're the first person to offer advice.

[Nadrealis]

Actually, putting english on a ball works on both horizontal and vertical axis'.

If you give the ball right hand english, you're essentially giving it draw on the right side. It's the same concept.

[fragmentCR]

Ok so if this is the case why do you have the terms draw and whatever you call topside over there if you could refer to them as "english"?

Why do you call it english anyway? It doesn't make any sense. Left hand side, right hand side - makes sense!

[Nadrealis]

Well, when you're drawing the ball, if you replay it you're essentially stopping the ball in it's tracks and "drawing" a new course for it.

Top-English, Left-English, Right-English, Bottom-English. They're just terms used in the game. Just like there are special terms for the right and left side of a boat.
