Running Out of Spin | Pool Tutorial | Pool School

- In this video we look at how spin runs out on the cue ball. Any sort of spin we apply to the ball will eventually run out because of the friction with the pool table, so we need to be aware of when this will happen. The video looks at how we adjust pace and the amount of spin to determine when we will be running out of spin. The tutorial includes a practice drill that focuses on the stun shot and enables a player to get used to how the pace and spin can be adjusted.
The shots are carried out on a 7ft Supreme Winner UK 8 ball table. However the same principles apply to all forms of pool, billiards and snooker.

Great video! This is something I've never actually had explained to me so it's always been a vague concept of "feeling" the shot, but this explains it so well especially with the spin and power visuals!
Is called drag shot
Just play every shot with screwback and you will never have to worry about spin running out. (Oh wait, I haven't played a decent frame of pool since last March, I've forgotten how to play 😥). Great video, and a good drill for getting the feel of how to play these kinds of shots.
😂😂 very true!! Cheers
Absolutely right that it is a feel shot. I seem to play them instinctively either adjusting by spin or pace depending on the situation. One thing I found about adjusting by putting screw on the shot is that it is very easy to misjudge and actually screw back a few cms rather than stun which can really mess up your positional play when it has to be so precise in pool! I think it is absolutely essential to master the stun shot as it can make positional play that much easier by keeping things simple. Great vid👍
You’re absolutely right, stun is such an important shot and often overlooked by beginners. I was guilty myself of always playing full screw back or full topspin and forgetting the huge range in between!
You're videos are really helpful; great tutorials indeed. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Nice one, next one could you make a video explaining the effect of cushion on the spin on cue or object ball. For example scenarios when to use top spin or bottom spin on the cue ball when playing towards the cushion when trying to stop the cue ball especially when object ball is very close to the cushion.
I ve heard there’s “sliding zone” near the cushion but don’t ve clear picture. Please explain with graphics if possible.
Thanks. Ok yeah I think I know what you mean, I’ll see what I can do.
@@PoolSchool thanks, will be waiting till then
Great video mate ! I jus got a table and never realised the spin like thanks a lot
Bit of a rule question here: If you break, pot a ball and nominate a colour and pot that colour, but also scratch and the cue ball goes in. Does the opponent still have a choice of colours or does the fact I scratched doesn't effect the colour decision?
It might be different for different rule sets but I can tell you the rule for World rules. It depends on whether you nominate the same colour you potted of the break or not. For example if you pot a red and then nominate reds you are then reds, regardless of what happens next. Even if you foul on the shot you are still reds. However if you nominate the opposite colour to the one you potted off the break then you need to legally pot it in order to claim that colour. So if you miss the pot or pot but scratch the cue ball then it would still be an open table for your opponent. If you potted balls of both colours off the break then it is like the first example and which colour you nominate, you immediately claim that colour regardless of shot outcome.
I only really play World rules but I suspect it's the same in other rule sets like blackball but hopefully someone else on here can confirm that?
It's very much physics that plays a part. Worth noting that the shot at 3:57 the cue ball skids across the table instead of rolling. I find this sort of thing fascinating. For future videos would you be able to explain about the forces used in pool for anyone who is interested. Great video and missing playing pool so much.
Cheers. Yep you’re absolutely right, the sliding across the surface is also a factor and is influenced by things like the cloth and the pace. Yeah I’ll see what I can do, glad I’m not the only one who finds that sort of thing fascinating!
Great video again mate, I’ve ordered a table similar to yours that should hopefully be coming in the next month or so. Would you recommend any additional accessories that you’ve used (triangles, racking cloth etc). Thanks and keep it up.
Cheers. I’d definitely recommend the Racker Pro triangle, love mine.
Thanks mate, seen your video on them so will definitely have a look, thanks again 👍
Hi maybe through boredom of the lockdowns, I've been watching a lot of pool videos. But I was wondering is there a shot where to bring out your awkward balls that are stuck in a cluster with others and you pot one of your balls but jump the cue ball a little after its made contact with your ball your potting to Canon the group of balls?
That quite a specific situation you seem to be talking about so hard for me to know exactly what you mean? Why would you want it to jump? Are you talking about when you couldn't get the cue ball into the pack using just normal spin?
@@PoolSchool yea sorry I knew I would struggle to explain myself very well.
But Ronnie o'sullivan has just done it recently against Ding.

But I was wondering if it is actually a unique shot that is sometimes used in pool. Cause as you say if you can't get enough spin on the ball to break up a group of balls, being able to jump the cue ball into them legally will break them up just as well.
Thanks for replying 🙂
Was more of a drag shot
That’s exactly what a drag shot is, starts out spinning backwards, runs out of spin, and then slowly rolls forward for the last bit.
