I like watching McCready, he reminds me of Popeye. It's entertaining. He's still a great player though.

Yes you can throw the ball with english but the farther you are from the object ball determines the distance you can throw the object ball if they are frozen i can throw the object ball as far as 6 inches in 9 feet.

@ProdigyKimXP If you hit slowly you can effect the direction of the object ball. When you hit hard the change in direction is negligible no matter how much english you put on the cue ball. However, hit softly and you can alter the angle of a shot slightly, but sometimes just enough to make a shot that would otherwise be impossible. You are correct that english off a bumper has a larger effect, but this is a totally different concept. It's called 'throw', look it up in a book.
