If i may,Francois Mingaud created the "Mingaud masse`"which is now a part of the APTSA masse` list.

Its a similar dynamic.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the concept of overspin. Care to explain?

[forcefollow]

The cue ball having more forward revolutions than natural roll.

i believe skid will be a better word to use in this situation

[houstexman29]

this is dumb!!!! of course there is a residual spin if an english is applied- and depends how much english is applied on the cue ball - until the cue ball stops spinning--- but OVERSPIN--

you're dumb dude -- no such thing as overspin-- spin cause by english on a ball is just a spin that can be transferred from ball to ball

dumb!!!

I say it is top (forward) spin at the first ball. It comes off that ball with (draw) bottom spin which comes (back) to sink the last ball

[CandymanJan1]

Over-spin is in fact possible, though very hard to impart. Basically over-spin is like burning out in a car, the ball is spinning forward, faster than friction is imparting. Thereby causing a reverse draw effect. If you are successful at imparting over-spin there some rather interesting negotiations of balls you can do by combining it with the stun effect of a fast moving shot. It is like I said MUCH harder than draw to impart and I don't advise trying it with any more distance than in this vid.

[KiNGBird21]

@PestVic Agreed, playing the carom would be a much simpler shot along withoffering better chance for position after the ball is pocketed

[PestVic]

Not to down this shot.. but what is the purpose? Is it to show off? Wouldn't It be easier to just carom off the ball into the nine?

Nope

Haven't read up on it, but have seen the "overspin" term used, but never cared cause top english was always fairly easy to use. But after watching all the way through, I have a question. Is "overspin" like generating "forward draw" where the cue ball is "sliding" with forward spin faster than rolling english? Just like the cue ball spins backwards on draw but forward instead?

[RAKESHGUPTHA452]

If the seven ball wouldn't have been der.. Then can this shot be executed?
