Sharivari wie immer Top 👌. Mal noch eine Frage am Rande, was für „Aufkleber“ nutzt Du um die Positionen der Kugeln zu markieren ? Kannst Du eventuell mal einen Link dazu nennen ?
@@michelbader Nein, ich bekomme nichts dafür. Aber mit der Glocke werdet ihr sicher informiert wenn es ein neues Video gibt. Wenn nicht, muss ich immer hoffen dass TH-cam es möglichst vielen meiner Subscriber anzeigt. Und das funktioniert manchmal besser und manchmal weniger.
As someone who has watched just about every tutorial on pool that there is on the internet, from Rollie to Tor Lowry - to the old videos from Robert Bryne, Sigel, Strickland and the like. I believe that this is the most valuable comprehensive explanation on the APPLICATION of spin, in practice not just principal. I've been explained the the strategic utilization of spin just about every way that you can, but no one ever demonstrates the nuance of these shots in practice, with useful commentary and everything. Thank you my dude.
Once you understand these concepts, pool makes a lot more sense and becomes tougher at first but the final product is you will see that you try to stay out of too many situations where one or more of these variables is a major factor. The more you can get position with a natural angle, the less variables you have to equate. So while this is very valuable fundamentals to know understand and incorporate, don't let it over-complicate your game. Someone once told me when I was a young mountain climber, the best route is the easiest route.
@@Z0MBM0Z that's what I learned from my dad over the years, RIP, he was a shot up there with some greats and yet he always told me endlessly to "keep it simple stupid!, and keep it uninteresting if you wanna WIN." He told me to watch the pros and how 90% of them are fundamentalists and make it look easy because they quite literally keep it that way. The flash and glamor can be saved for the exhibitions and low or no money games. Haha
One of the best videos on the topic of side spin in the entire TH-cam archive. Keep up the good work! You are helping a lot of people, and as one of them I can't thank you enough.
I don't understand the many thumbs down on this. I think this video explains all the complications of using english brilliantly. You are a real treasure to the pool community!
I think the negative feedback is more due to the misleading title? From the title I thought this would be an explainer on how to aim when shooting side-spins. But this turned out to be an explainer on the nuanced effects a spinning cue ball can have on the results (which, I still appreciate tremendously).
It's crazy for me because I started to play pool more competitively 9 years ago and there was very limited billiard content creators on youtube and now there is high quality content being made with a a plethora of information I wish I had back then!
7:26 RIP the 10 ball... gone... forgotten in the void lol... All right enough about messing up. This is such an amazing video with not only point-on explanations of pool theories but also excellent demonstrations. If I have to add a couple more points, 1. All the adjustments and side-spin effect stay true only if the cue stays level, and the shooting mechanism is good. 2. Different cue cause significantly different deflections and hence different adjustments are required for the same shots. 3. The cleanness of the balls is not mentioned in the video but it's also a very important factor when considering the cut-induced-throw. Lastly, Sharivari's word at 17:20 "You don't wanna calculate before every single shot." is so true. Knowing the theories only gives you the right direction. It's the muscle memory and sometimes "a feeling" from tons of drill practices (or years of plays) that help you master the game.
GREAT content. This type of video will set the standard for future pool instruction. We’re all lucky we live in a time where this is available for FREE which is crazy
I just want to tell you how much I appreciate all of your videos and the obvious time you put in to making them. Aside from the great camera angles, overlays, and audio, you're knowledge has been a tremendous benefit to why I have been improving so quickly and getting in the top 3 at tournaments. If you're ever in NJ, I'm buying you a beer.
This was awesome. The problem with most spin videos is they film facing the pool table which makes right/left really hard to visualize because it’s reverse. The Go Pro REALLY helps with this because we can imagine it without having to flip right/left in our heads.
Wow! You blew my mind! I do much of this intuitively but never consistently because I didn’t understand the basics! Fantastic!!! Thank you. ESPN here I come!!!
This is the best explanation for potting using side spin (English). The difference between gentle and hard shots explication has now help me understand where i was going wrong. Always wondered my my shot were not hitting where i expected. Thank you.
Absolutely love your training videos. Showing where to hit the cue ball, explanation, demonstration absolutely outstanding. You have definitely raised the coaching bar, TREMENDOUSLY!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
Great video. I have improved my pocketing percentage significantly when putting side spin on the ball. I was aware of these effects but it made me be more cognizant of the effect than I had been previously. Also, the discussion about effect on the ball at different speeds was great. Really fine job.
This is the very best video on aiming with sidespin, I’ve watched it probably 25 times in the last 2 weeks. Now when I practice everyday for about 2 hours I use about 1 tip of English and it’s really starting to pay off! Thanks again! Steve
Your are a great teacher making it easier to understand. I am a senior woman having only been playing for about 4 years, in our woman’s league. It’s my passion. It’s still not easy to understand english etc. You’re a big help. I watch all of yours I see. Thank you.
Very good information. You are absolutely right at the end of the video, you can't think about left/right and how hard/soft to hit while you are actually playing. A very simple way to adjust for left/right/top/backspin, just aims at the same spot on the target ball as you are hitting on the cue ball.
finally I think I understand the different elements you explain in your video, I knew a bit but sometimes thats as bad as not knowing anything, how I think it's all clicked into place. Thanks for your hard work.
Truly a fantastic tutorial. Just started watching your vids. I just jumped from a 6 to a 7. Self taught. My game is built on natural adjustments over time. So I'm very much looking forward to checking out more of your videos. Keep it up. Thanks! Adam
Great video and explanation! Somehow this came naturally to me when I started playing and I have been using it for over 30 years and find that unless it’s a straight shot or the position doesn’t call for it, I always use it. It’s kind of like second nature at this point. I have tried to explain it when teaching people, but they have a hard time picking it up. They get frustrated quickly because they tend to start missing everything and quickly go back to playing center ball. If anyone is frustrated incorporating this into their game, don’t give up! Keep practicing it and it will just click one day. You will be amazed how much this improves your game by having these tools! Just remember that your cue tip and the table felt plays a huge roll in how much effect it has on your shot when using this and you will need to adjust accordingly! Don’t give up and practice, practice, practice!!! 👍🏻 🎱
Great job once again! I really don't understand why people go out of their way to thumbs down this content. You're obviously putting a lot of work and effort into your production. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your videos and lessons. People may not know how much work goes into making these videos with such high production quality. You are doing awesome ! Anywhere from your lighting, to your sound and all the post production editing and adding all the special effects. Just a great job and your are giving free lessons that would otherwise would cost people hundreds of dollars. I have improve my game in 4 months by an extra 40%. I use to go play and there were way more advance players, so I would win 3 out of 10 games. Now I’m winning 7-8 games out of 10 games. They all ask me me how did I get so good so quickly, I told them about your video and practicing every day, giving every shot the same amount of focus and importance. Anyways, thank you for the videos!
I really thank you sir, you are the only expert who is willing to teach and in fact does it in detail, I have never understood as much about the game as I have after watching your instructions. Thanks again.
Excellent excellent EXCELLENT video @Sharivari, this is some of the hardest stuff to understand about pool that most people can't explain well enough to understand. Well done, keep up the great work and content flow!
I have been playing pool for quite a while,but mostly i have only been playing for fun.Recently i have been getting a lot into it,and i wanted to be better at the game.This video has been really helpful for me in improving on the game.Really great work on the video,i cant thank you enough.

Great video.. a lot of half decent players don't really understand these concepts properly... Also a lot of players don't realize that side spin will have nearly no effect on cue ball position unless the cue ball hits a rail.
Thank you so much Sharivari for your tirelessly teaching and keep on searching for new technic to show to us. Ive learned lots of things from you specially on how to spin the ball to a position to the shot. Thanks again, hoping that you keep on doing videos for me to learn more.
Hi Shari. I know you work very hard getting everything together, so thank you for that. Allowing for deflection has helped my game a lot. Allowing for speed too. The two together sure gets tricky sometimes. Anyway thanks again and keep the videos coming. Cheers.👍😀
This is my 3rd time watching this video, I imagine it'll take several more before I can consistently make shots. Still a phenomenal video! Nobody explains how the shot is changed by applying english, and upon seeing how complicated it is I understand why 😅
Yeah it takes a lot of practice. This is why you see some people just smack the balls really hard, because then there is less CIT and if you hit center cueball then there is no deflection and the game becomes a little easier on some level.
Sending this to my teammates I captain and this helps those guys who love to think they know how to throw a ball, but dog it instead, understand where they hit wrong. I enjoyed seeing the combo shot to understand how speed plays that big role.
at first when I started practicing shots with sidespin - I was missing them badly (was just aiming as usual shots). Once I started feeling how much I need to compensate - these shots became makeable, and with a bit of confidence - I started using them in games. And they really really help to get the white rolling where you wouldn't be able with no spins. It's really neat skill to train. Sadly I am not very good with them from range, I can only make short-medium shots, but at least I can make most of the angles/straights. Train these shots :)
I absolutely love your videos. This actually helps me understand why I am missing shots that appear to be super easy. My question for you is... seeing as how this is a very complicated topic, are there any drills or mental games that you would recommend to help us keep these factors in mind? I don't even know where to begin practicing trying to account for things like deflection, CIT, etc. Thanks again! Hope all is well for you!
Nice to hear it all described and compared. One thing I would add is to describe WHY the speed changes amount of throw. It is the relative difference between the energy the cue ball has in the vector going forward vs the friction of the cue ball on the felt. If hitting soft, the friction on the felt is more relevant and affects the path of the cue ball more. If hitting hard, the energy the cue ball has going forward doesn't let the English/spin come into play until that energy decreases (that also explains why if hitting hard the english/spin can occur but it just takes longer... it engages once the cue ball has less energy in the forward vector).
amazing video! been playin for years, never got into the technical aspects of the game, now I finally have a pool table and its very educational and entertaining to watch all your videos! thanks and cheers!
Your videos are so awesome bro! Thank you so much. I still struggle with SIT and CIT so I’ll be watching this video several times lol. Understanding the physics of the game is so crucial in improving our game. It’s also the most confusing 🤯. So thank you again for all the great content.
Great video and well explained! As other people may do, I find it quite daunting trying to balance and guage the effects of the various spins. When Ronny O'Sullivan got a (never to be beaten) 147 in 5 1/2 minutes, I don't think he would have time to work that out - but I guess thousands of hours of practice will mean it becomes second nature.... thanks
Thanks for explaining the different terms used with English and the effect it has on the object ball. I hear these terms often when playing pool, but without explanation.
Great video, man. Helped me fill in a few gaps in my game I wasn't certain about and used to guess on, answering why I'd miss a few key shots that always perplexed me. Jumped my level up at least a ball or two instantly after watching.
These are all very true, and also changes with carbon fiber, type of tip size, soft medium or hard as well with how hard you hit... You have tought me all this, I have improved greatly.. Thanks!
Great video. I think the mechanics of the shots were well described. Many times I make a simple cut shot and miss. This will video explains most of those failed shot scenarios. Thanks.
As always your videos are good . I'm glad you are getting into spin and English induced deflection,perhaps you should the differences between wood and carbon fiber,it will improve a lot of players speed.I always learn something from your videos. BIG THANKS, PS, Dr Dave has good info this subject
Thanks for this video. I seem to miss these a lot even though I aimed perfectly. Now I understand why I was missing the shot and need to practice aiming with throw and CIT in mind. Great explanation my friend.
I must admit, this is the most accessible explanation of the side spin topic that I watched so far :) Great job and thank You! I can't wait to practice it all, so it will become more natural for me.
It seems this would be overly technical and confusing to a beginner. I imagine that is the issue. And in practice, most of the examples in this video are pretty exaggerated, also making it difficult for beginners to relate to. I doubt a beginner can even recognize the amount of deflection in their own shots, yet this guy is telling them to account for significant deflection, etc. I just think someone who considers themselves an intermediate player would be who this video is aimed at. I would consider myself more or less an expert, and these concepts are all mundane to me, but I just think for people trying to learn this for the first time, the examples are all exaggerated and it may be difficult for people to relate to, especially people who play on smaller tables.
Like most others... this is the best video I have encountered explaining this! One question though... Where can I get one of those disappearing ghost balls?
Haha, they are Sharivari exclusive. I need an advantage when competing, sorry :P
4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
inside english is a fascinating subject. I practice it a lot not because I use it all the time but because it makes me more sensitive to the overall subtleties of the game in general.
1st, you wrote"consider leaving a thumbs up" yay!! You are going to master English even more than English on the pool table!!! 👍👍 2nd, outstanding we_dio haha. I'm joking , because you know you're saying video like an English teacher, now 😁😁. Brilliant break down of aiming with side spin. Top drawer!
I know what you're saying when you say aim more or less to the right or left of the pocket. But since the aim is actually on a part or point of the object ball, I think it's much easier to understand if you say instead, aim thicker or thinner on the OB.
I have a small request - In my free time during this pandemic period, I am playing this game called 8 Ball Pool by Miniclip (available for Apple and Android devices). The physics is by far the closest to reality among the popular pool games, especially the spin, delay in leaving tangent line etc. However, it doesn't account for swerves, masse shots or spin restrictions for cue ball near a cushion. I thought if you could try the game and make a review video, including if one needs to do aim correction due to cut and spin induced throw, and due to deflections on playing with force. It seems to happen at times when I am least expecting it!
Such a good video explaining this shot that I've struggled with for years. When I started playing pool as a kid, TH-cam was still relatively young and didnt have anything like this..but I didn't think it would take a decade for something this good to come out! Thank you for the effort and time. This was a wonderful video. One question;which microphone were you using? Sounds good in the hall!
Thank you i now understand why the force i use changes the angle from undercut to overcut or vice versa. Always believed it did not change the angle it was the position i hit the ball changed the angle. Not the amount of power i hit the ball. Thank you so so much. A fantastic demonstration.
Great video! When first learning to pot balls with english you have to take all of this into consideration. But eventually it just comes down to understanding the basics and then hitting thousands of shots with different types of english until, as you say, you don't think about it. You just get down on the shot and pull the trigger. By the way, what do you use for your graphics on these videos? Excellent graphics.
Thank you James. I am using Adobe Photoshop for the graphics. And for the first time I used a Billiards Simulation called ShootersPool. The graphics at the right with the white and yellow line are from there.
I think everyone should appreciate the hard work you put to help anyone who wants to improve his game! My game has developed so much cause of those videos and thanks for that.
Been lockeddown in some place...that's why seen all of your videos such a big theory on the movement on pro billiards, been an amateur filipino player for such a long period of time but when i see your videos its a huge help and tips on how to enhance my ability...kudos bro keep up
This is why using side spin is so hard to judge and takes a lot of experience. The balls, the table, the cloth, the cue, your stroke, the humidity there is a lot of factors to take into a count. For example the soft shot where he used outside english was aimed too thick for my stroke(more deflection probably), cue(more deflection) and playing conditions. I would need to aim for the center of the pocket not for the left side as in the video. Great video none the less, shows every aspect of shot making with simple easy to understand examples. Keep up the good work!
This has been confusing me so much, most people give "half the story" and forget to mention or give examples of the different factors which contribute to the whole shot. Thanks for the comprehensive video, it helps to understand how the different factors affect each other.
Deflection actually doesn't change with speed. The reason it seems like you get less deflection on slower shots is because slower shot speeds have more swerve.
Well, that was a lot of work, but I think it was worth it. I just enjoy producing those videos so much. Help me to make a living here on TH-cam, so that I can do this full time. All you have to do for that is to like my videos, subscribe & ring the bell. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your kind comment Ollie!
Great video.. a lot of half decent players don't really understand these concepts properly... Also a lot of players don't realize that side spin will have nearly no effect on cue ball position unless the cue ball hits a rail.
Just watched again this 3 years on. Brilliant and amazing Job by Becs. I'm passing myself laughing. Xxx such amazing friends and photos xx
Your whole series has been great. This is by far one of the best lessons on aiming with spin I’ve seen. Thanks for your awesome content
Thank you so much Sharivari for your tirelessly teaching and keep on searching for new technic to show to us. Ive learned lots of things from you specially on how to spin the ball to a position to the shot. Thanks again, hoping that you keep on doing videos for me to learn more.
Hi Shari. I know you work very hard getting everything together, so thank you for that. Allowing for deflection has helped my game a lot. Allowing for speed too. The two together sure gets tricky sometimes. Anyway thanks again and keep the videos coming. Cheers.👍😀
Superb explanation of the complex physics behind the contact between 2 spheres! Thank you!
This is my 3rd time watching this video, I imagine it'll take several more before I can consistently make shots. Still a phenomenal video! Nobody explains how the shot is changed by applying english, and upon seeing how complicated it is I understand why 😅
Yeah it takes a lot of practice. This is why you see some people just smack the balls really hard, because then there is less CIT and if you hit center cueball then there is no deflection and the game becomes a little easier on some level.
Sending this to my teammates I captain and this helps those guys who love to think they know how to throw a ball, but dog it instead, understand where they hit wrong. I enjoyed seeing the combo shot to understand how speed plays that big role.
at first when I started practicing shots with sidespin - I was missing them badly (was just aiming as usual shots). Once I started feeling how much I need to compensate - these shots became makeable, and with a bit of confidence - I started using them in games. And they really really help to get the white rolling where you wouldn't be able with no spins. It's really neat skill to train. Sadly I am not very good with them from range, I can only make short-medium shots, but at least I can make most of the angles/straights. Train these shots :)
I wish this video existed 25 years ago. Phenomenal instruction. Thank you.
I absolutely love your videos. This actually helps me understand why I am missing shots that appear to be super easy. My question for you is... seeing as how this is a very complicated topic, are there any drills or mental games that you would recommend to help us keep these factors in mind? I don't even know where to begin practicing trying to account for things like deflection, CIT, etc. Thanks again! Hope all is well for you!
Nice to hear it all described and compared. One thing I would add is to describe WHY the speed changes amount of throw. It is the relative difference between the energy the cue ball has in the vector going forward vs the friction of the cue ball on the felt. If hitting soft, the friction on the felt is more relevant and affects the path of the cue ball more. If hitting hard, the energy the cue ball has going forward doesn't let the English/spin come into play until that energy decreases (that also explains why if hitting hard the english/spin can occur but it just takes longer... it engages once the cue ball has less energy in the forward vector).
As always, very informative in a way that is easy to understand. You have a way of explaining things to help every level of player. Thanks.
amazing video! been playin for years, never got into the technical aspects of the game, now I finally have a pool table and its very educational and entertaining to watch all your videos! thanks and cheers!
Your videos are so awesome bro! Thank you so much. I still struggle with SIT and CIT so I’ll be watching this video several times lol. Understanding the physics of the game is so crucial in improving our game. It’s also the most confusing 🤯. So thank you again for all the great content.
Great video and well explained! As other people may do, I find it quite daunting trying to balance and guage the effects of the various spins. When Ronny O'Sullivan got a (never to be beaten) 147 in 5 1/2 minutes, I don't think he would have time to work that out - but I guess thousands of hours of practice will mean it becomes second nature.... thanks
The Best Video ON the entire internet about Spin Maaaan I loved it, I saved it downloaded it so i can practice using it much love brother ♥
Thanks for explaining the different terms used with English and the effect it has on the object ball. I hear these terms often when playing pool, but without explanation.
Great video, man. Helped me fill in a few gaps in my game I wasn't certain about and used to guess on, answering why I'd miss a few key shots that always perplexed me. Jumped my level up at least a ball or two instantly after watching.
Dude! I have played 30 years and I never knew this! Thanks for your service.
Well done! I particularly like your “ghost ball” sight picture before the shot!
These are all very true, and also changes with carbon fiber, type of tip size, soft medium or hard as well with how hard you hit... You have tought me all this, I have improved greatly.. Thanks!
Highkey the best pool video tutorial I've ever watched tbch
Great video. I think the mechanics of the shots were well described. Many times I make a simple cut shot and miss. This will video explains most of those failed shot scenarios. Thanks.
As always your videos are good . I'm glad you are getting into spin and English induced deflection,perhaps you should the differences between wood and carbon fiber,it will improve a lot of players speed.I always learn something from your videos. BIG THANKS, PS, Dr Dave has good info this subject
Thanks for this video. I seem to miss these a lot even though I aimed perfectly. Now I understand why I was missing the shot and need to practice aiming with throw and CIT in mind. Great explanation my friend.
I must admit, this is the most accessible explanation of the side spin topic that I watched so far :) Great job and thank You! I can't wait to practice it all, so it will become more natural for me.
I hardly see time pass by watching these videos. Keep em coming man♥️
I wonder who gave 250 thumbs down on such a good lesson? Unbelievable ;)
People without thumbs I bet...
Losers tear people down and winners build people up. Opinions are like assholes everybody has one and some of the stink more than others.
Probably someone that can't run 2 balls in a row
Only amateurs and idiots who don't understand what you are showing, I like your videos it makes sense.
It seems this would be overly technical and confusing to a beginner. I imagine that is the issue. And in practice, most of the examples in this video are pretty exaggerated, also making it difficult for beginners to relate to. I doubt a beginner can even recognize the amount of deflection in their own shots, yet this guy is telling them to account for significant deflection, etc. I just think someone who considers themselves an intermediate player would be who this video is aimed at. I would consider myself more or less an expert, and these concepts are all mundane to me, but I just think for people trying to learn this for the first time, the examples are all exaggerated and it may be difficult for people to relate to, especially people who play on smaller tables.
Would like to see more cue ball deflections off the cushions. One of the best videos I have seen using side. Thank you so much......Sal : )
Like most others... this is the best video I have encountered explaining this!
One question though... Where can I get one of those disappearing ghost balls?
Haha, they are Sharivari exclusive. I need an advantage when competing, sorry :P
inside english is a fascinating subject. I practice it a lot not because I use it all the time but because it makes me more sensitive to the overall subtleties of the game in general.
1st, you wrote"consider leaving a thumbs up" yay!! You are going to master English even more than English on the pool table!!! 👍👍
2nd, outstanding we_dio haha. I'm joking , because you know you're saying video like an English teacher, now 😁😁. Brilliant break down of aiming with side spin. Top drawer!
This is by far the best explanation I've seen on this subject. Thank you sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding walkthru Shari, and great vid overall!
Priceless information,going to have to watch this more than a couple of times to take it all in,thxs for your time much appreciated.
I know what you're saying when you say aim more or less to the right or left of the pocket. But since the aim is actually on a part or point of the object ball, I think it's much easier to understand if you say instead, aim thicker or thinner on the OB.
It is the left and right instructions but seen from the right and left is what’s messing me up.
解釋得太棒了 雖然台灣撞球很多高手 但他們很少會這樣製作分享以及說明真正的理論 真的非常受益 謝謝您的無私分享
I day old, 59000 views. Dang. Congrats! I wish I could practice, everything here is closed, so I'm putting my imagination to work for now.
Best explanation I ever heard. I am quite sure many shooters will benefit from this video. Keep up the good work. Keep shooting.
Best video ever and information was very clear!!! Thanks!!!
Best tutor that I have, is you! Or should I say, your videos, with all the overlaying marks and animations. Thank you!
I have a small request - In my free time during this pandemic period, I am playing this game called 8 Ball Pool by Miniclip (available for Apple and Android devices). The physics is by far the closest to reality among the popular pool games, especially the spin, delay in leaving tangent line etc. However, it doesn't account for swerves, masse shots or spin restrictions for cue ball near a cushion.
I thought if you could try the game and make a review video, including if one needs to do aim correction due to cut and spin induced throw, and due to deflections on playing with force. It seems to happen at times when I am least expecting it!
Such a good video explaining this shot that I've struggled with for years. When I started playing pool as a kid, TH-cam was still relatively young and didnt have anything like this..but I didn't think it would take a decade for something this good to come out! Thank you for the effort and time. This was a wonderful video. One question;which microphone were you using? Sounds good in the hall!
Glad you like my videos. It's just a voice recorder connected with a Lavalier microphone.
@@Sharivari that makes sense. Like a little Zoom recorder?
Thank you i now understand why the force i use changes the angle from undercut to overcut or vice versa. Always believed it did not change the angle it was the position i hit the ball changed the angle.
Not the amount of power i hit the ball.
Thank you so so much. A fantastic demonstration.
Great video! When first learning to pot balls with english you have to take all of this into consideration. But eventually it just comes down to understanding the basics and then hitting thousands of shots with different types of english until, as you say, you don't think about it. You just get down on the shot and pull the trigger.
By the way, what do you use for your graphics on these videos? Excellent graphics.
Thank you James. I am using Adobe Photoshop for the graphics. And for the first time I used a Billiards Simulation called ShootersPool. The graphics at the right with the white and yellow line are from there.
I think everyone should appreciate the hard work you put to help anyone who wants to improve his game! My game has developed so much cause of those videos and thanks for that.
Thanks :)
Incredible work 🤝
Damn, you're everywhere. 😳
what are you doing here? trying to beat your homies at pool?
Been lockeddown in some place...that's why seen all of your videos such a big theory on the movement on pro billiards, been an amateur filipino player for such a long period of time but when i see your videos its a huge help and tips on how to enhance my ability...kudos bro keep up
I can't even put this into practice because the pool halls are closed :')
This is why using side spin is so hard to judge and takes a lot of experience. The balls, the table, the cloth, the cue, your stroke, the humidity there is a lot of factors to take into a count. For example the soft shot where he used outside english was aimed too thick for my stroke(more deflection probably), cue(more deflection) and playing conditions. I would need to aim for the center of the pocket not for the left side as in the video. Great video none the less, shows every aspect of shot making with simple easy to understand examples. Keep up the good work!
i think my 'thank you' is just not enough for you
Thanks buddy conceptualising why I miss when I go soft is a huge help
Summary : low speed equals less deflection but more induced throw
High speed equals high deflections but less induce throw
This has been confusing me so much, most people give "half the story" and forget to mention or give examples of the different factors which contribute to the whole shot. Thanks for the comprehensive video, it helps to understand how the different factors affect each other.
Deflection actually doesn't change with speed. The reason it seems like you get less deflection on slower shots is because slower shot speeds have more swerve.
If a pool table was 50 feet long the speed changes would be negated. (All the shots would roll before reaching the target).
Thats like saying swerve doesn`t change with speed.
@@HebroKeevin Its actually not because swerve, in terms of both the amount and the "breaking point", does change significantly depending on speed.
Probably one of the most intense and important lesson...Thanks!!!
