- In this video I explain what is happening to the cue-ball when we play with side-spin. I try to cover exactly how the balls behave and how we can then adjust our aiming so that we make the pot!

This is the first time I’ve seen a video of playing a shot with side and how it affects as to weather the object ball goes down or not.
It has been explained extremely clearly and I actually understand what Steve is saying.
Thank You so much Steve for your incredible instructional videos.
Thanks a lot. Really appreciate your kind comments!

I've always only compensated for the deflection but never seriously considered the arc. this explains a lot... thank you.
This is, by far, the best video I’ve seen (and I have watched a lot of videos!) on the effects of side spin when pocketing the object ball, and controlling the after-shot position of the cue ball. The use of dynamic diagraming, combined with on-screen text really clarifies the entire shot process. Beautiful job!
Much appreciated Brian! Thanks a lot for watching 🙂
No one has ever explained this better than you Steve! Thank you !
Fantastic tuition. Very professional.
That is the better video about side I've ever seem. Congratulation Steve.
Finally I see the light, thanks so much for this video,
Excellent video Steve. I always struggled to account for the deflection. This really explains the effects. Best video explanation I've seen.
Beautiful video...I ve been going mad that why such an important topic is not discussed in any of the channels.. great job done..
Excellent explanation of the use of side and how certain degrees of power and extreme side can throw the white differently. I remember my coach Neil Johnson telling me experiment with different degrees of side with various amounts of power and also short distance and long distance. I’m struggling at the minute with long distance safety and shots to nothing using side and plain ball. My eyesight is either going or my setup I.e. technique / sighting has changed as I took 2 months away from the game. I’m planning to visit my coach again in the coming months to revise my setup. You’re a great coach I always watch your videos as I like your interactive, visual and explanatory nature of how you put together your videos. It gives the viewer a feel of actually being there with you by way of you including the power meter and various camera angles, etc. Brilliant coach. I look forward to the upcoming vids 😀💪
Great lesson! May I suggest that you do multiple videos covering side spin. It takes many examples for these concepts to sink in...and there aren't that many online. Keep producing these wonderful tutorials, and thank you for putting the time into this.
The most helpful & informative snooker video for me,,, will definitely improve my game from avg breaks of 40-50 to the next level. Thank you.
I'm an old American pool player who is fascinated with the game of snooker and the skills I see. You have my respect. I have never used side spin unless it was top or screw side spin and then, only a tip either way from center. I have only been concerned for what happens to the object ball when using spin. I call it throwing the object ball. I never had lessons but I did learn tips from good pool players that were older than me. Thanks for a great video. You are a talented teacher.
That was superbly explained.
This is a fantastic example of side spin and I must say one of the best videos out there. Well done Barton snooker - I am saving up to have one on one coaching with you and in the hope of taking my game to new levels! I did contact you a few months back from Birmingham! Thank you for all these amazing videos helping to improve people's snooker all around the world!
Thanks a lot Sam. Will be great to see you and a help you out 🙂
absolutely amazing video, helps out a lot
amazing i love to watch that i always thought that why i miss my shots wuth sides thats the difference thanks...
This is fantastic. I completely understand this previously mind boggling concept. Thank you so much!
Awesome video, clarifies the use of side so well, keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Excellent walk through, Steve. Thank you
A superb explanation and the added diagrams helped massively. Thank you.
A big thank you. Finally I found somebody how explain nice, clear and understandable and with good examples.
Very well made video, explained perfectly with diagrams and animations. Splendid.
i've been trying to pot this straight blue with side for a whole month . i didn't know what was wrong! This is just perfect example of how to use side
Thanks, this is the best a easiest video to understand side spin I've seen. Something I've really struggled with.
Very very very well done and very well explained 🙏🏽
Nigel Bond gave me an excellent tip about using 'helping side'. In cases where you have too much angle on say the black to hold for the next red, use helping side (running side) to hit the black thick and still make the pot to hold position. Brilliant tip that has helped me to continue breaks.
You don't hit the black thick, you aim the black thick because the cue ball has deflected, swerved a tad and therefore has approached the black from a different line which helps to hold it.
It's very slight this deflection and swerve, but it's crucial to offset your aiming to allow for it.
All aspects comprehensively covered, great video!
Thanks for your clear explanation again Steve. I learned a lot again. Regards Richard.
Excellent video ! Very well done !
Pure gold...thank you, sir.
This guy 🔥- really accurate teaching skills. Thanks bud
Thanks for watching. Great to help 👍
Good video. Easy to understand with those graphics. I appreciate the hard work you've put in 👍
Great film of side spin, with superb explanation.
The best tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you.
Very good and clear instruction sir. Thank you.👍
Finally a clear explanation of all the mechanics involved. Thanks! Now I've just got to practice...
Thanks! Good luck 🙂
@@BartonSnooker When you 're going for left or right side spin,do you calculate compenzation for the cue ball in preshot rutine,or you can make adjustments when you stand in shot postion?
@@sasadjoric7552 you make the adjustments in the pre shot routine. Do not make adjustments once you are down on the shot
@@BartonSnooker Thanks for advice and replying,i 'll need to work on that.
This content is really usefull for me. Thank you alot!
Great explanation of spin. Watched many other videos of this , none come close to yours. I have been breaking with a lot of spin, the same principle for hitting the head ball. I am not getting a good hit on head ball because my English is pushing me off a direct hit. Will have to compensate for English to get the direct hit on breaks. Thanks
Best video you've done. Really stepped up well, and this is very informative to have a good understanding. Nicely done!
Cheers Ben!
Another great video. Much appreciated 😎
Thank you so much for this. Can you also please make a video about trying to pot a ball from the cushion (double)? It's tips, tricks, and how to measure angles correctly from different positions, like when its right against the cushion, or its in the middle of the table. And also trying the double towards the middle or corner pockets as well! Cheers!
You got the best snooker lesson channel
Keep it up
Amazing video, it really did help me a lot, you are one of the best online teacher thanks a lot! Greetings form Kosovo - Zumfer Bequku
One of the best tutorial I've ever seen ...best videos bro👌👌
Thankks so much again u r so kind to give us this imfo
Terrific work here!
wonderful video!
Another great explanation from Steve, thanks. I can strongly recommend the coaching sessions, from personal experience👍🏻
Thanks very much 😀
Brilliant vid mate
This is a great video. As you know I play billiards, not snooker, but in billiards you use so much side, I'm hoping having watched this video it will help me out!
Described excellently 👍
Thank you so much Mr Barton. I loved all your videos, keep it up the good work as it helps me a lot in playing better snooker. Really appreciate that :)
Thank you so much for watching 🙂
Thank u so much for the video i was aiming with side spin wrong all this time
thanks for the tutorial😀 helps a lot
Very well done Barton, I eventually have understood how to aim with side spin and I am going to apply these principles at the pool table. I think there is no difference between snooker and pool talking about how to aim with side spin
This tips very helpful for me.. Thank you sir
Tnks bro..finally i m able to understand the side spin effect..
so helpful thankyou
Mate I love your tips...Please keep posting vids!
Cheers Bradley!
Thank you so much Steve for this tutorial, this is the best video I have seen on side spin top coach. Can you do a video on the mental side of game, including technique, game plan and any other info you think is important for the game Thanks bro?
Hi Steve Great video seen your previous video on side spin without graphics would like to see line of aim with ghost ball allowing for adjustment with spin I know I put unwanted side and left eye dominant seen videos keep missing easy pots trying to correct tks would book a lesson only for distance??
Thanks for this video! Excellent stuff.
Can anyone recommend a good video on triples and going off 3 cushions with side for positional?
Thanks :)
Thank you, sir, very clear explanation, I've noticed the palm position of some people playing side is the same as normal, just move the cue left/right by using the palm as a pivot, but what I learned is moving the whole palm to left/right (parallel with the normal shot), could you please tell me what is the difference between these?
The arc effect will depend on the nap of the cloth too. When playing from baulk end to black end, the cue ball will drift back to its original path, but if you are playing against the nap from black end to baulk end, the cue ball will drift further from the original path.
and this is why when i play a new table i spend a few mins just hitting the white up and down and acrros the table with various spin and strength to get a feel for the speed and run of a table. as every table is different if only slightly.
Great video
Such an awesome video. Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot for watching 🙂
Keep up the good work.
Great video Steve, please do one explaining what happens when the cue ball is spinning against the nap as there is a difference.
Hi Steve another great video. I think it would be useful to see a slow motion video showing the cue ball curving back on line on a long shot.
Nice video Steve 👍🏻
Thanks!
best video yet!
Great video, but! From my experience, the cue ball always flicks the object ball slightly on its way to the pocket, depending on the side spin of the cue ball. For example, if you are playing the shot with lefthand side, the cue ball is gonna flick the object ball a bit to the right on its way to the pocket, so thats one more thing to keep in mind, but very difficult to judge sometimes :)
Thanks for this! I've just spent an hour trying to pot a straight blue with a lots of side. They were flying in and the white spent serious time spinning after. A little compensation in the aim and a good strike, cannot believe how much I've learned about my cue today, it has a lot less throw than I thought. My cue's 16 1/2 ounces, would you say that a lighter cue has less throw?
this video is awesome!
Great stuff..can you do a video for various safety shots involving side spin?
Excellent well explained tutorial channel!, I hope that I don’t get to play you in my club when I think I’m a top dog with my highest break ever of 57 ?. I have recently got a new cue that is heavy and the prominent grain has helped me with my overall game. I don’t hit the balls any where near as hard as I used to do and I have realised that it’s my delivery and follow through that I have been working on with your help, great job pal and keep up the good work
Many thanks Tom. Thanks a lot for watching and I'm glad the videos have helped.
This is great.. Snooker players must watch this video to have a better understanding in playing Side Spin. Easy to understand practice makes perfect.
Thanks for the great video, its really helpful.
But i have a question please, what about spin induced throw on the object ball?? Does change the path of the object ball? And should we compensate for that?
Thanks again for ur effort😁
Great video, thanks
Absolutely fantastic video .any chance you can give us a video how much to allow for side over different distances? Say 4ft-5 ft all the way up to long pots. Give us some idea how much allowance for side over many distances
Fantastic video loved it
Thank you!
amazing content
@BartonSnooker When you 're going for left or right side spin,do you calculate compenzation for the cue ball in preshot rutine,or you can make adjustments when you stand in shot postion?
Good job, thnx!!
You forgot to mention using left hand side will kick the object ball to the right, and right hand side will kick the object ball to the left. For some side spin shot where deflection is not a lot , you can still aim without compensation due to this effect.
He explains that within 2 minutes of the video starting
hxduck I’m not talking about deflection or curve.
This is definitely the third factor to compensate when using side. Like you said when side is applied, the friction of the cue ball will "kick" the object ball to the opposite side, I would say up to 5° which makes some impossible thin cuts possible. Some players say the side spin of the cue ball "transfer" to the object ball and I think the term "transfer" is misleading, it merely "kick" the object ball by a few degrees.
@@crazyrichdolls3860 the side spin does transfer to the object ball, it is used when you are trying to pot a ball that is sticking to the cushion, the very small transfered spin will grasp the cushion a little bit to stick to the cushion.
@@rickywong4054 I've experimented a lot with this but I really don't feel the transfer, I've seen slow motion videos on youtube which also doesn't show the object ball with transferred side spin. Do you have any good videos which show otherwise?
Thank you sir
Awsome video
Nice Video. What about allowing for throw?
Great sir
Very good video. The sidespin also affects the object ball which would be perfect to cover as well in another video.
Please do a video on the transfer of spins and whether spins affect fine cut shots
Greta video mate very clear…
I have a question if someone can help me….even after accounting for deflection the side I put on the que ball generates opposite swerve on the object ball I tested it a few times and it seems the ball will always kick the opposite side, is this a case of deflection that I can’t see or does the rotation of the cue call cause the opposite reaction to the object ball ??
Another top video :)
Thank you
BTW, very well created and edited. I cna clearly see your passion for this game. I dont live in the UK. If I did, I would definitely take a few lessons from you.
Thanks you! Much appreciated 🙂
Hi Steve, when you walk into the shot should the cue be on a parallel line to what it would be for centre ball striking, or do you step into the shot with the cue line as for centre striking and move the cue butt left or right as required? Great video series, thanks
You walk in on a new different line and the cue should be parallel. Do not pull the butt offline to add the side spin. Great question. Thanks a lot for watching 🙂
Well explained. I’m not even going to try playing these shots though now I know how much is thrown out of sync when using side.
You'd be surprised how little difference it makes on a lot of shots.
When you're close in, a lot of the effects I talk about in the video cancel one another out, so it's nowhere near as complicated as it would seem.
Have a play around with it 👍
