Due to watching countless of videos of bhe and fhe and applying side spin and countlessly trying to do it all, I ended up with the same techniques as yours. I am not even aware of what I'm doing. I just do it because it seems to work well. But, I am thankful that I've watched all of your tutorials and tips. Thank you sharivari!
I watched Jeremy's video too, but I find your much more understandable. Your way of explaining is just as it should be: with not too many, but not too few words either. Thank you and keep up with the good work, looking forward to your next video(s) 👍
After watching this, it turns out I've already dialed in the Sharivari method! I remember watching one of your videos about using spin a couple years ago and I went to the pool hall to practice it and it has made me such a better and more consistent player! Thank you Sharivari!
Good video! I'm just getting started - playing less than a year. I have been placing side spin the way you explain at the end. Seems like a natural way to do it. Glad you confirmed!!
I watched JJ's video a couple of months ago and told my coach about it. She said that that was the wrong way to do it and she showed me her way, which was the parallel method. I tried her method but could get it to work most of the time. However, when I use JJ's method, it worked a lot better. I'm going to try the front and back method at my next practice to see how that works for me. Thanks for the lesson!
AWESOME VIDEO. looked into so many videos and no one explains the deflection or the adjustments necessary to make these shots with spin. Great help because I tend to mess my shots up only when applying outside or inside English because of the way it kicks the cue ball in opposite direction (slightly to left or right).
Okay, so i'm using a mix of yours and Jeremy's way when applaying spin to the cueball. It just feels naturel to me shooting that way. But it's very importent to know your cue and its deflection before adding any spin on your shots. Practice makes perfect. Thanks for this video, my friend. Greetings from Denmark.
Very informative video.. Been playing for less than a year myself and still learning a lot and the last method of how you did your spin is how I would basically do mine tho sometimes I would still miss because of probably my stroke or maybe misjudged aim but yeah very helpful
Very interesting approach, I like to do something similar to your technique and use a bit of feel, takes a bit of time but works after a lot if consistent practice.
I use the parallel on every shot with english. It's all about learning how much your cue deflects. I have always read that a player should drop to the ball with the English on the cue ball(to the right of center ball if u r using right english) with a parallel cue stick......
I also use parallel shift for every shot too because that’s how I aim for my tough shots instead of the ghost ball method. You mentioned the most important part about parallel, which is knowing the deflection on your shaft. From my experience with different cf shafts I have been able to use, the McDermott defy, revo, and Becue engage are the closest to each other in deflection. I’ve been wondering about other people’s experiences with different shafts when using the parallel method.
@@HillbillyIslandLife I haven’t had the chance to try the z shaft yet. Been considering getting one because I came from the time the LD shafts were the new thing from the old maple shafts, and I miss the LD wood shafts sometimes since I only play with cf now
I like your video, it shows all the ways to spin that I use to pot balls, the only thing you didn't mention is that the purpose of learning all these ways to pot the OB is to place the CB for your next shot. The object is to make 8 shots easy, with break outs when needed. Playing 3 balls ahead is the minimum. Vision and skill to spin = table run
The way a friend taught me awhile back was to aim the shot straight, and to adjust my bridge hand by flexing it to apply spin (We're both double jointed). By flexing the bridge to change the tip contact point, you can get the advantages of both backhand and fronthand without their disadvantages. The disadvantages I'm referring to are changing your backhand wrist alignment, or shifting your whole bridge across the felt.
Not sure thats a great idea, i mean if it works for ya, then ok. I am right handed, and right eye dominant. I feel if i kinda lineup and aim over my right eye i seem to play better. English, spin squirt are all different, depending on table, pool cue, distance and speed. Thats why it takes soo long to learn pool, in my opinion
@@adamdion1262 Nothing you said makes sense. Adding spin at all is inherently a "mechanic", so introducing it in a different way is literally no different. It isn't as if this method drops an elbow, or redefines how a shot can be played, it is simply introducing spin without shifting your body. In my opinion, if you think table, cue, and ball conditions are the reason pool takes so long to learn, you yourself are the thing holding yourself back. Perfecting fundamentals and creating your own style of playing has nothing to do with the humidity affecting your kicks by half an inch.
The type of English depends on the deflection characteristics of your cue shaft . I use parallel /front hand shift when using inside English . For outside English I just aim slightly thicker on object ball and play by feel . If you use a standard deflection shaft just find the pivot point and use backhand English when using spin.. Higher squirt = shorter bridge length. Lower squirt= longer bridge length.
I think I naturally learned to use sidespin without thinking about it by just shooting certain shots over and over again. It helps to understand the different effects at high and low speeds, but then ultimately there’s no replacement for just hitting the shots a million times.
So I used h o s s method along with exactly what you just said that you do and I've been doing that for a long time my aiming has become automatic in the last couple of years now but I still get in my own way sometimes even though I know it works😂😂
Hi Sharivari! thanks for the great video. I would like to ask for the Sharivari method, does it work for all speed and all distance? Example high speed short distances, medium long distance. Or even high speed high distances and medium speed low distances? I'm new to pool and its fun learning and understanding the game more. appreciate your vid
Yes, it works for every kind of speed and distance to the object ball. However, you will need to put the components (BHE, FHE and Parallel Shift) differently together to make it work. And unfortunately, this only comes with practice.
I'm using SAWS from DrDave: Now that's a confidence-building technique. He uses a mix of BHE and FHE, and adjusts the proportion based on distance and speed in a methodical, nearly mathematical way. A rare case of "you can learn on paper and it transfers to the table". Hitting a million balls when you pay $20/hour for a table ain't happening for most of us…
Well explained, as always. One thing I don't follow yet though - I don't see how the Jeremy Jones method is different from front-hand English. In the end it seems the same to me, in which case wouldn't it have the same pitfalls when hitting hard? When hitting with enough speed it seems that you always will need some BHE, or do I misunderstand? Thanks!
Great video though im shocked at the way you explained the parallel shift method. I get it, because its not an aiming system at all, but its the only method shown here that allows straight cueing with no left/right elbow motion, plus it keeps the cue right underneath your eye. Would love to hear your thoughts on this
My technique: It’s a kind of parallel shift, however, i add it to my stance as well so my stroke stays good and straight and it works very good and clean but it requires lot of training and focus. However, back and front hand is much easier and recommended if you don’t feel fresh and focused.
Good video but a secondary topic I don't feel any video on side spin covers is: why do pros use side spin even when the cue ball will *not* hit the rails? I believe they are "cheating the contact point" on angled hits so they can still sink the object ball but effectively get a stop shot or to draw the cue behind a nearby ball at an awkark angle even *without* the cue ball hitting rails.
Yes, this is one of the reasons. Another one is that spin sometimes makes the aiming easier. And very rarely, you need spin to throw the ball you want to make off it's line, because you can't hit the ball at the right place.
So when I try to hit the ball with back hand english with a left spin, every time I pull my pool stick back and shoot the ball it makes “clank” sound as if I hit the ball with the side of my pool stick. How do I fix that?
Please watch your video at speed 0.25 at minute 9:50 and you will see how you are crossing or placing your cue diagonally. That is, you are not doing a parallel shot, you are doing "Back Hand English", placed on the shot. But, what you do here in this specific shot, is not a shot with side effect, it is a modification of the "Back shooting line Hand English," but already set. So in the end you are doing the version of the shot, "BACK HAND ENGLISH (BHE)", but already placed on the cue when you go down.
Would it be better to understand throw and side in a more general sense and adjust the right amount regardless rather than using back or front hand movements?
If you are using your chest and chin for cue contact points, you can't play bhe or fhe, you just stand or correct your shot line with your torso or hips.
Parallel seems like it takes a lot of variables out of the strike? Surely we should be taking these last minute calculations out of a shot if we want consistency
Parallel shift involves moving both your front hand and back hand the same distance to the side. Front hand English, on the other hand, keeps the back hand in place while only moving the front hand. This adjustment affects the aiming line.
I like this explanation, except that it describes shots as either soft or hard with no gradation. It also ignores that I have a cheap stick with more deflection than yours. 😆
If you move the front hand and back hand to opposite sites, it's different. Only if you move them the same distance to the same side it's parallel shift.

I agree its about the cue. I have an old meucci that has shit ton of english. The bhe aiming doesnt work well for me, esp over speed and distance

In my opinion you really should not be fucking around with your mechanics to put english on the ball...idk...everyone has their quiks tho
You compensate for english by aiming differently, not really fucking around with your mechanics. Thats prob not a good idea

Thanks! 😃
Excellent video. Do these techniques (bhe, fhe etc.) only compensate for deflection or also for the spin induced throw?
@@alinionescu2590 Thanks! When used properly, they can compensate for throw aswell.
thank u a lot my fr 🥰🥰

Imo it’s the only way to truly learn spin, you have to just shoot using spin over and over thousands of times. It takes time and there’s no shortcuts.
So I used h o s s method along with exactly what you just said that you do and I've been doing that for a long time my aiming has become automatic in the last couple of years now but I still get in my own way sometimes even though I know it works😂😂

the table looks nice. what is it? thx
@@StunDan Gabriels Gryffon
Omg i think i do your method... about changing at last second
Lol im not alone!😂
I use parallel shift and have no problems at all. I just need to compensate for spin depending on the amount of spin and the speed
So for Back hand and front hand you still aim at ghost ball just adjusting speed?
Its really good but can u talk about it through a break and run?
Can anyone help me should i get a mcdermot lucky or a fury ty knight with low deflection
Which is more dominant?
SIT, CIT, or Deflection?
@@JerryLee.. Always depends on speed. Check my side spin physics video.
I have learned many shooting systems. I can honestly say that I cannot just use one system.
but on the final method (the jeremy jones method) it appears you hit the shots with alot of power...what about slow rolls? will it work?
On the final hard shots I am using my approach. The JJ method is more likely to work on medium speed shots.
Typically, bhe will not work with slow or distance shots

If you are using your chest and chin for cue contact points, you can't play bhe or fhe, you just stand or correct your shot line with your torso or hips.
You should be aiming over your dominant eye. Reardless of r/l handed. You can be right handed, and left eye dominant, fyi
Not everyone aims like a snooker player, they have stupid 20 0 corrected vision, laser surgery
For me every system works.... sometimes. None work all the time. comes down to feel due to speed affecting deflection curve squirt swerve etc.
Parallel seems like it takes a lot of variables out of the strike? Surely we should be taking these last minute calculations out of a shot if we want consistency
So front hand English and parallel shift look the same to me, I am not seeing the difference between the two.
Parallel shift involves moving both your front hand and back hand the same distance to the side. Front hand English, on the other hand, keeps the back hand in place while only moving the front hand. This adjustment affects the aiming line.
I would only recommend this if you want crooked cueing.
👍
I'm from Indonesia. but in not understand English 😢
makanya belajar, bagian mana yg ga paham? kan udah ada visualnya
still there is difference between long shots and the ones you show here. I just count it by half ball
I like this explanation, except that it describes shots as either soft or hard with no gradation. It also ignores that I have a cheap stick with more deflection than yours. 😆
Do you ever not aim at the ghost ball?
If you move the front and back how is that not just the parallel method
If you move the front hand and back hand to opposite sites, it's different. Only if you move them the same distance to the same side it's parallel shift.
@@Sharivari oh I see I didn't realise that was what you were doing thanks for clarifying 👍
Well i think this is the single worst advice on technique i ever saw ...
Great video. Terrible player tho.
