How to Start Aiming with Side Spin

For folks that don't have hours to practice aim to thin side of the pocket to use inside/check aim to thick side of pocket to use outside/running english. The less english the less adjustment. Basically once you can start throwing balls in your cue ball control will skyrocket and the game will be easier.

Awesome content.

Very concise and informative. No unecrsary information. Good Job on this, got you a new subscriber.

Request: I have purchased a new Pool table at home and I'm willing to start recording videos of me playing and explaining the thought process behind (vo), Would you recommend me some links to better equipements to use for this purpose?

At one pool hall for kids we played at as kids, one of the house rules was that you must bank either the 8 ball or the cue ball and zero slop was allowed. This was to create a level playing field for learning bank shots. Something similar with sidespin might work also.

I am a beginner player and i have a feelings that the local pool tables we play on are really hard to pot, especially the rail shorts. I don't know if tables are always the same coz i see in videos how professional make it look easy potting a rail ball.

One said, perfect is simple. Make it nice control, no need side spin

Hey bro , I've got a question does bhe and fhe help when using side spin?

Do you still "aim" with the centerline of the cueball even though your stick is off that line? I normally stand where I would make the shot, then readjust my feet to stand where I'll "miss" to compensate for SIT but when I get down, idk what to look at anymore. My stick is aiming to some nonsensical at that point, I dont have the stick to look down to be like a gun barrel. So I end up trusting that I lined it up right, shoot. Most the time I'm not taking much for a risk, its close to pocket, and works but this is not much a plan.

Potting with side is hard

Shoot it over and over and over and over lol that’s the only way I could learn aiming with side spin.

What cue tip do you use in this videos?

Sir where do your eyes last looking in the object ball or in the cue ball tip of the cue? THANKS

Great video lately my english has been rattling the pocket how do you prevent that?

Hello! Thank you for providing such a thorough explanation, it was very helpful. However, I still have a question regarding aiming with sidespin. What reference points should I use? Normally, when aiming with no spin, I use the center of the cue ball (or tip) along the cue to the object ball. But if I add right spin, should I still use this line for aiming, or should I use the actual line of the cue? Additionally, should I move the cue in parallel to the right or just the bridge hand, keeping the backhand in position? I would appreciate any insights you have on this matter. Thank you!

No one ever tells us in what situations side spin helps though? I've tried side spin the odd once or twice and I see it producing nothing that I couldn't produce or at least produce similarly enough with either forward, Backward, Or center ball.

I have a question. Look at the spin you manage to get the cue ball. I can never accomplish that. Does the quality of the ball make that possible or am I just not using spin the right way? Sometimes the object ball will spin, but rarely if ever does it look like the cue ball is spinning.

I got into your videoes, and as alwayas in this case I watch many of all your old videos. The quality is top notch. Even 3 eayrs ago. Great, great, great job! You migth not be the greatest pool player :( but you are surely, for me(Niels, Darren, Karl, Shane, Sharivari, Dr.Dave, Venom, Rollie) the best pool video maker.

Great work!

I play 8 ball on a Chinese 8 ball table. The pockets are so tight that if I use any spin I will miss. I only use top and back spin to try to get some cue ball control.

What apps you use to save your shot ?. Thank you

hit balls....best way to learn, hit thousands of balls....

Good👍🎱

I think that 8 ball didn't go in 😅

Are you releasing new videos any time soon?

To bad you don’t talk in little slower, so we can visualize just what your saying without you rushing to the next shot. Think about it!

Having a look at the app. I really like the idea of this. Is there anyway we can access the photos we have created, but from inside the app, and perhaps add some text?

Subscribed!! Great content, very clear and informative!

Hey you very good I m am the best player in my league everyone fairs to play me and I'm only 14 years old I have a natural stroke I been playing since the age of 4 but I think I haven't gone all out I want to unleash the real me is there not tips on how

I can't think you enough for telling me about how important straight in shots are it has changed my game completely

I have a great aiming system for this I found something out about the balls

Great video - love it!

Like always a very awesome video. Was an enjoyable watch. Hope all is well!

Beautifully presented and edited vid. Great advice too. Keep creating!

What kind of pool table do you have? I’m looking to buy one.

Downloading the app now.

What would be amazing for the table maker tool but might be insanely hard to do if at all possible would be if you could build the table select the ball you wanted to make and where you wanted the cue ball to end up and it would suggest how to shoot it.

Hey man, keep up the good work! It was a pleasure playing with you 2 years ago, it's great to see your channel doing well. Solid pieces of advice, keep them going!

how do you know when to use left or right? top left, right, bottom left, right

It's been a while. How is Korea? I was rooting for IM from S. Korea to win the Masters. They would have held a day of honor in his name had he won. Still a great finish

I think your friend and I have more in common than I'd like to admit, but I think part of the issue for me is that I can always blame bad shots on not knowing some system or technique. The advice you offer is exactly what I needed to hear, thank you!

Great advice! I have actually neglected drills with sidespin a lot, need to focus on them more. Thanks for yet another eye-opener!

Hi. What's your opinion on the impact of playing a game like virtual pool, have on the brain, in the increasing ball potting percentage.

Great video. Thanks
