- In this video, Mick Hill demonstrates how to apply back spin to the cue ball. The back spin (or screw back/draw shot as it also known) is a crucial technique in any pool players' arsenal.
He goes into why timing the shot is important to ensure the best and most effortless results and why whacking the ball hard is unnecessary.

It’s amazing. Been playing a long time and would say was at a high standard, yet every one of these videos teaches me something new. Unable to play now due to health reason but still really enjoy watching this channel. Many thanks.
Glad you are enjoying them
Excellent video. Now do one for FORCE FOLLOW please. Same as this one.
Mick you seem to be struggling with playing shots bad. Tag me in. I got this…😂😂
🤣
Good to recap the basics every now and again
Mick with the stone island, very stylish
😂
Remember you coming to have a knock down in Norfolk at the Staithe a few times. Top bloke and made time for everyone. Love the videos 👍🏼
Amazing teacher
Thank you! 😃
😁Another video. Yippee.
Hope you enjoy
Really great advice in here Mick, been playing for about 8 years and still learned lots. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Great advice, ill get practicing that👌
Been playing pool.30+ years and watching your videos has given me a lot more confidence to manoeuvre the white as desired. Very simply and excellently explained Ed. Can't wait for more tips. 2:54
Great to hear!
@mickthemachinehill Further to yesterday's comments, I have been cueing with my small finger wrapped around the butt of the cue for years, last night during a local league game I adopted your suggested grip for various shots ( shortening the grip, soft hands etc).. 2 break & dishes out of 3 games
. Your never too old to learn, Many thanks.
wow, congrats. Small improvements can help a great deal
Fantastic technique and explanation on how to hit and follow thru on the cue ball. Love watching all you video clips, keep up the excellent work Mick and when you eventually make your way down for the Geelong open l will be ready for you. Lol👍🏻🍻
Thank you! 👍
easier said than done Mick but you make it look easy
thanks for showing us what to practice
keep it up 👍
Thanks, will do!
Is there a vid of cueing over a ball? All the pro’s have their cue arm straight when jacking up over a ball, my arm simply doesn’t bend like that, i have to cue up with my arm jutted out, i’ve been playing for nearly 40 years and it’s a major weakness for me.
Loving your vids Mick👌👍
We’ll add it to the list of suggestions we have. 👍
@@mickthemachinehill nice one.
sure, the 1 7/8 cue ball centre strikes below the centre of the 2 inch object ball. but the backspin is more easily generated here because the cue ball is LIGHTER.
more interestingly - it's the 'timing' of the stroke which generates the work on the cue ball - as I think you would agree mick.
how you explain this phenomenon is a little difficult though.
I think that a better timed stroke results in slightly longer contact time between the cue tip and the cue ball.
a point I've been trying to make, with little headway, with the youtuber 'drdavebilliards'
Brilliant video mick.Can u do a video of u playing the cue ball with side and where u hit u object ball.cheers 👍
Side spin coming up soon. 👍
Great video. I think most amateurs are worried about striking the cue ball so low and potentially miscueing. I discovered that if you ensure the cue remains parallel to the cloth then I can strike really low on the cue ball without any issues.
Absolutely
As someone new to the game, i love your videos and how you explain everything in a clear and easy to understand manner. Please do many more 🙏
Thanks, will do!
Looks simple but the screw shot is one of the most difficult shots to master. Even county A players struggle with controlling the spin. I would go as far to say it's the shot that gets most players in trouble. Under/Over hit it and you lose position. Yet very few players practice it, myself included. 😬
Hi Mick. Loving the videos. I've been playing pool for many years but I seem to lose the cue on my back stroke at times especially on big shots. Will you be making any videos on fundamentals like cue action and how to be more consistent?
Yes. A few have asked on this. 👍
Mick can you do a video on cueing?
Yup. Will do.
Would love to see how you deal with pressure and how to practice under it i played a comp recently and bottled it bad and that just spiralled me into annoying myself but i cant seem to get out of this habit any advice would help
Great suggestion. We have had a few people request videos around the mental side of the game so we hope to cover off in the next filming session.👍
Hey mick
Can you do a video when playing down the rail ?
I'll appreciate it
only the list for the next session.
Thankyou for the video! These help a lot as someone who's still learning. Can I ask about tip sizes? I know you get more action with a smaller tip and a lot of people play with a smaller tip. I have admittedly got a snooker cue thats 9.5mm as I started on snooker, would a smaller tip be beneficial? Or is it personal preference and discipline with your cue action and timing?
Please ask at the upcoming live Q&A.
Any chance you could post a video about playing shots when the white is up against the cushion? It's something that I've always struggled with.
Yes, already on the list as many have requested it. Will cover in the next filming session. 👍
@@mickthemachinehill And when the object ball is on the cushion! As this seems to be slightly different for English pool versus snooker and American pool.
@@mickthemachinehill Brilliant, thank you.
Smaller ball and all that.
Would appreciate a video on cueing straight. Sometimes I'm very consistent and others not.
A few have asked. So it’s already on the list to cover off👍
Thanks Mick. Where do you stand behind the ball and sight the shot correctly?
Do you stand with your right foot on the line of aim as snooker coaches suggest or do just stand behind the balls naturally and get down?
We have a video coming up about stance and cueing so stay tuned for that one.
When you try to be bad at pool but your to good so hit the perfect shot haha
if the cue ball being smaller than the object ball makes backspin easier. does it also mean that top spin is hard than in snooker? I have always struggled with top spin shots more so than screw shots.
Yes. Top spin video coming up soon.
I would love to see Mick Hill and Gareth Potts play the likes of Filler and SVB, why doesn´t it happen? Chris Melling does it...
I can back spin easy short distance but long distance can’t never get it right like that my issue
#getthebadgein
Can't say I understand what timing is, in a pool or snooker context. I get it tennis or cricket.
Not to be too critical. But the title of the video is 'how to play backspin with perfect timing' , but there is not really anything in this video which describes timing or offers any tips for timing technique or how to improve timing, other than simply saying 'follow through'.
We have some videos on timing coming up, but this video was mainly focused on the back spin element.
Not all pool tables have a smaller cue ball, bad advice!
The channel is predominately covering English 8 ball pool. Other versions of the game differ of course.
Is this a joke?
Why would you think it’s a joke? The videos we put out will be for all levels. Stay tuned for more advanced stuff.
Talk about boring, again over complicating something that’s easy, it’s not hard to play correctly
These videos are for all levels of player. Some will be around the basics and fundamentals and some will cover more advanced topics.
