Top 10 Things You Need to Know about THROW - Part 1 (Intro, 1-4)

thank you Doctor Dave!

Amazing Content I'm New To Channel Liked it a lot

Thanks a lot for these videos. It helps me tremendously and it is the best educational material on the internet. ♥️

I've been playing for 22 years. I think I shoot every damn shot with throw 🤷🏾‍♂️. I use that jab stroke, and just feather a little side on each and every shot. I just know how much to hit it now. I don't even "aim" per se... I just look at how steep the cut is and add side accordingly. My cue ball often comes to rest and still has lots of side spin on it 🤗, my son calls it "loading time" 😝

Amazing knowledge. I will work on it...

Awesome! Thank you for honoring my request ;) :D

Dr Dave, can you play a match with Sharivari 9 ball race to 9? You think you can beat him? 😉

This is the best pool lesson I've ever seen, going to watch it several times, no wonder i miss shots thinking it was just poor aim, so does dead center cue ball hit create 0 throw but see gear outside spin is the safest? you may have answered that but will watch again, Thanks Doc

Perfect DrDave He he he.. thats why sometime I use the ghostball for aiming. Aiming was perfecf but I still missed the shot. This is the reason, thank you so much! 👌🏻💕

The main throw i have problems with is my mond being thrown from my x not shpwing up on custody visit days. Throws my mind com0metely outta whack then i pmay pool to try to get my mind off it but play terrible from a thrown mind and get more mad. Heeeeelp docmy mind is thrown and i cant get out!!!!!! Seriously tho ur vids help my soul. When i get away from these lawyer bills i will def be buying some stuff from you for my little girl to learn as she grows. She is 4 and i bought her a tiny play pool table and she said ddady i already know how to play pool. Sinve she was 2 i would hold her up to the edge of various pool tables n let her hit the ball. I havent seen her but 6 times in a year but im having her this summer and were gonna play every day at my apartment pool table. When she says daddy wow your so good i will say u can thank dr. Dave. Hahaha seriously thx for the vids tho. Ive learned so much. Once my mind is thrown back in order once i get my angel back that was stolen from me i be running out way more often. Doctor daaaaaaaavvvveee maaannnnnnnn. Grape ape grape ape

Dr Dave thanks for the scientific, engineering point of view in pool. 🙏

Good content. For shots where I know there will be a good amount of C.I.T. I simply aim for the far side of the pocket (opposite side of the throw direction). Tends to send the ball straight in the pocket.

This video gives the answer that I sometimes make: “how did I miss that”

Pool is not an exact science. Just a reminder.

Finally, I was waiting for so long for this. Thank you very much!

"gearing"? Did you come up with that term or the rest of the gamblers? The effect is called "coefficient of friction", and the moment of contact transfers some of the inertial elements of the striking ball into the struck ball. No need to say "cue" or "object" ball, because it happens in every ball collision. Since there are no "teeth" on round balls, I find this choice of terms silly, at best. I hope it has not been in use throughout the sport. But I put nothing past y'all. I am into the physics of the shot. Not winning any game or anything. I am about the shot. I think that pool players have come up with these terms and most of them suck The drunken players AND their terms). We need to think about young kids coming into this thing and teaching them the gambler mentality claim to be pro terms is pretty lame to me. There are English terms and terms from here in the US that are pretty lame in my view. I remember "follow" and "draw", but from you guys, we get stupid, now commonly used terms like "screw back". Hard to revitalize a sport that requires getting kids interested with weird terms floating around everywhere. Someone should write up a glossary of the terms used and their origins in the sport and whether or not they actually sound like a term we should continue to make use of or deem as "Archaic". "Gearing spin" spin just lame to me.
"Spin induced throw" and "spin induced throw correction" sound better. Also, ANY throw can also be corrected by altering one's contact point, thereby changing the "tangency angle" the throw is induced against, resulting in a "corrected" shot.

DrDaveBilliards. I kept getting the opposite effect to expected when using spin. Eventually I worked out this is because my cue ball is squirting in the opposite direction of the spin, e.g. if I use right English, then the cue ball is squirting to the left which is causing the object ball to go to the right. This effect is larger than the SIT or CIT effect. Talking to other people, a lot of people have a similar experience. What do you think is causing so much squirt on the cue ball?

The importance of soft stun is vital for my game. For me it is about keeping the game simple when possible. Thanks

Dr, just to clarify - is the term “gearing side spin” a standard terminology in American pool, or your own annotation? Thank you

I truly believe that this is the hardest part of learning pool, I been trying to work on this and still having problem, GIR I am okay. But CIT is kicking my a$$, It must be something to do with speed control , I'm ether hitter to hard or to softer. Thanks Dave for all your hard work, and great lesson.

At what angles can we ignore throw? And at what speed can we ignore throw?

Dr. Dave steve from Seattle, let’s try my question again. If I have a 13 mm tip and you have a 12mm tip let’s say we’re both shooting a 30 degree spot shot, now I know we’re suppose to split the tip on the edge of the object ball, but me with a 13 mm tip would I need to aim a little thinner or thicker than you? Maybe I have to aim for a 3/4 or 5/8 I don’t know, or would we both aim a the same spot! Thanks

I don't know how I compensated for all this without knowing about it years ago, but I no that was why I could only get so good,, I needed to work all this out.

In shooting these shots do you use (front or backhand or parallel) English?

One question please, Dr Dave. You said both the draw and the relatively faster speed can reduce the throw effect. I suppose a faster speed means a shorter touching time which causes a lighter throw effect. But for the draw, what's the physical explanation?

Gearing outside spin, would you estimate one tip of outside english be enough?

Gee dr Dave I have a 13. Mm tip and I did not go to Harvard.

Another great video Dr Dave...

This might be a silly question, but I'll throw it out there anyway...
Might old/well used balls experience greater throw than new ones?
I play snooker & English billiards. The snooker balls I use seem well worn. The billiards balls are effectively new. I am not sure if they are the exact same size, but the two sets of balls seem quite different to play with. The new ones seem to 'slide' a lot more, making me think the old ones might be rougher surfaced and thus possibly more prone to throw (and transferred spin)?

And there I was: always thinking that my aiming is poor for longer shots when in reality I wasn't compensating for throw!
An eye opening video. Thanks so much!
With some practice and experimentation I hope my long shots will get better.

if you dont tell, backhand or fronthand english?

How do you do gearing side spin

I’m here as well, just to let you know…

Thank you Dr Dave . My cut shots using gearing outside spin are almost perfect shot .This is a very high percentage shot to pocket the ball.

Great videos. Been playing for years just off of what I learned at the table but got frustrated that I couldn't close off enough games. I thought I was decent at cutting the ball but I had no concept of throw. What a game that you can play for so long and not know all the fundamentals.

Hi Dave, with the shot at 8.40 I take it the CIT, sending the CB to the right, is not strong enough to counter the SIT, which sends the ball to the left? Does this happen often when they are in conflict? Any tips on who wins generally? Is SIT the big daddy? :)

...IM youre funs.. idol.

...thinks to youre video..☺☺☺☺

How do I make the purchase.
How much does it cost?

What exactly is gearing outside spin? In other words how do you shoot it?

The light bulb just went off on gearing English! I understand! 😃👍🏽

Anyone else wamna give up on pool because of how complicated the physics reallg are?! I mean how does anyone truly master every aspect ??

Thank you for this lesson. Similarly to what most have been saying, I have been playing pool for ages and just learned about this concept. Much love from Manila!

so does cut induce throw make you want to ever so slightly cut the ball more so it compensates for the throw?
