Understanding Aiming with Side Spin

- In today’s 5 minute video we lay down some helpful assumptions about side spin, and demonstrate the three main variables for working out your required aim when using side.
Let us know if this is how you aim with side… and if not did the ideas here help or hinder you?
PS. This video is taken from a training course we recorded in 2014, so the mic and sound quality was not as good as we have today!
However, the content still is as valid as it was then, with the follow on from this video showing you how to apply this cue ball behaviour to actual pots 😉

Great stuff! Thx
Glad you liked it!
So it comes with experience, observation and learning.
Nothing more and nothing less! Observation is what most people cannot do as they are too fixated on potting the ball instead of observing what is going on.
Welcome back
Thank you - we were on a Round The World Tour for five months and the demand was simply huge so we were unable to upload any videos!
Nic what about when people play thin cuts with running side in order to reduce the throw. I assume that they must play these slowly and with only a _tiny_ amount of side to avoid the squirt and swerve effects, otherwise it would narrow the angle instead of widening it as intended ?
It does not help them pot the ball - although most players think it does. And even if there was 5 cents of benefit by doing this, the dollar of extra difficulty in compensating all that side is not worth it...
Apparently otherwise known as the Barry Stark Squeeze @@TheSnookerGym Yes some coaches are teaching about squeeze (throw) effects, and others only mention deflection and swerve. Everybody seems to have different opinions.
Does side spin that we apply on white ball affect on object ball?
Very slightly - but the brain includes this much smaller effect in the much larger effect of cue ball squirt / aim compensation when playing with side. I did not know it affected the object ball at all until after I had made a 147... and in hindsight it was probably better that way as it made the game simpler.
Surely a lot depends on how hard you hit the cue ball, softly more time for the effect to work. Fast hit will send it way off line. ??.
Distance, speed, and amount of side are the three primary variables. Secondary variables include cloth type, cloth age, ball type, ball cleanliness, humidity, elevation of cue.
This was a tad disappointing after the first 2 it just did not say very much. In fact, it seemed to create more questions/problems than anything and then just drift into doing a swerve shot. I think there was something missing from the last video to this so I hope Nic corrects that or gives more examples relative to the previous video. What do you say/think Nic?
The idea was for the whole series of side spin videos to add onto each other to offer a comprehensive point of view.
Did the other videos answer what you had questioned? And do you have any other questions?
It's crystal clear to me.
The swerve happens when there's more spin than speed. Speed= push, spin= swerve. The balance of pull and push will create straight line(of course to a certain distance)
