1:10 balls moving without being touched. Incredible.

@wildrider100 "english" is placed on the cue ball when you strike the left or right side of the ball (not dead center), causing the ball to spin. You can combine it with "draw" (hitting the bottom of the ball) or "follow" (hitting the top of the ball) to manipulate the path the cue ball travels. Once any friction takes over (hitting an object ball, rail, or even friction from the felt) the spin on the cue ball will temporarily change it's trajectory until it rolls. Speed is a big factor too.

@wildrider100 in this situation, they talk about that while the ball is going on, the real move of the ball is to go back because it slide to back in circles while it´s walking

[wildrider100]

could someone explain me what is this english spin??????

[cheapect]

The second shot had draw on it. The cue was still spinning backwards as it hit the rail causing the cue to come off with low left English.

[jufreese]

the cue ball didn't spin left or right at all off of the rail...look at the red dot on the cue ball.
