  • Why can't you just say spin?

  • Ok so I now know what effect speed has on the cue ball, but how do I compensate the shot based on speed and english to get the coloured ball in?

  • LMFAO !! He Never Actually POTS the Object Ball !! In his every video he just uses editing to pot balls !! EPIC FAILS !! =D

  • He speaks so slow!!

  • Cool.

  • what is he talking?

  • @Shaggy30000

    sure? even though i would say you could be right and mostly the contact point (influenced by speed and english) between cueball and objectball is relevant for where the objectball goes i think he is saying that the less hard you hit the cueball the less time it has to transfere its spin to the objectball. because in 0:42 he is saying that he (even though he playes soft) is hitting the point on the objectball where he aimed at.

  • Your videos help me very much, thank you!
