Dr. Dave and Tom Ross describe, illustrate, and demonstrate the back-hand English (BHE) method to compensate your aim for squirt when using English. This is an example shot from Disc II of "The Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots" (VEPS). The VEPS series includes over 750 shots in 50 different categories, with over 250 "gems" of the game. The series is the most comprehensive collection of pool shots ever published. Disc II covers English and position control.

  • dr.dave i have a problem for applying 'right' english with BHE (i'm right handed). My style is like snooker player with cue near my chin. The problem is my 'grip hand' sometimes stuck with my chest or my stomach when i use 'right' english, it's feel not comfort and make your body or stand move a little bit. Do you have any suggestion? *i don't have any problem with Left english with BHE. Sometimes because this stuck or barrier i used FHE for right, but the squirt is high.* Best regards-thank you

  • @Drzhaza

    Most people shift or tilt their stance or body when performing the cue pivot (in either direction). If you don't, problems like you describe result. Give it a try. Still aim and align as normal in the center-ball position, then shift or pivot your whole body with the cue.

  • Thank you Dr.Dave :)

  • @Drzhaza

    You're welcome!

  • Dr.Dave, is there any disadvantages for using FHE(Front Hand English) compared to BHE?

  • @Drzhaza

    FHE is better for long, slow follow shots.

    BHE is better for short, fast shots.

    For a lot more info, see "aim compensation for squirt, swerve, and throw" in the FAQ section of my billiards DOT colostate DOT edu website.
