How To Aim & Apply Side Spin | Back Hand & Front Hand English

A lot of you were asking for this video, so I made it. If you enjoyed it and want to show appreciation, you can use the new "Super Thanks" feature that is next to the Like button. Thank you guys!

Thanks for the tips, and going into detail on how not to shoot 👌🏽

thanks a lot i win lot of games after watching this😊

If you are a new player it's great to learn all these, try practicing for a few months to understand the physics. Once you got the hang of it, before a shot just tell your brain what you want and your body will adjust instintively. In the end, trust your guts. Good luck fellas 😊😊

Got to work on this drill

I obsessively played pool for a lot of years, and nobody EVER said a single thing about BHE or FHE. Nobody ever told me there is any difference. I feel duped.

Thank you for your channel.

What cue stick is best? 12mm or 13mm?

Great video. I have one question: After repositioning the cue tip, either via using BHE or FHE, do you still maintain your line of sight as if you are hitting center ball i.e. aiming directly for the 'ghost' ball, or do you realign your sight and stance to look straight down the cue and through to, and past, the new contact position on the cue ball?

Bro...amazing! Thank u very much

Cool

Hi sir,how about slow speed shot with ignite,still use FHE?

No one ever sees pro players use FHE or BHE.

Question. Why would you play siding on a straight shot?

This is really great insight and presentation. Thank you Shavivari!

Sorry was confused. Whats the difference between the first 2 examples? Seems like the aim to the right is the same as the back hand english?

This is realy helpfull thx❤

Hi... just one thing that still confuses me. On a non left or right english shot - I aim at the center of the ghost ball behind the object ball towards the pocket (simple enough), but now if i apply BHE or FHE, should i still look at the original position of the ghost ball? or the ghost ball also moves to a new location to which where i should be looking at before hitting the shot? Sorry if im not making sense here.

Great video, was curious about the size of your pool table?

good👍

Great lessons!

THANK YOU! I have been looking for a video like this for months.

Is it wrong if I just aim dead on, then set up for sidespin, and just imagine how much deflection I need? It works pretty well

Thank you for this video!
Notes for myself:

HDC/LDF = High Deflection Close bridge/Low Deflection Far bridge.

SF/FB = Slow is Front Hand English/Fast is Back Hand English

This might seem.. "stupid" of me but what if we add top or bottom spin to the equation, can we still apply BHE and FHE as usual? 🤔

Thank you! Nice video.

Undisputable best video on the Internet about applying English. Thank you a lot Sharivari!

People, learn all of this during practice until its all second nature. In game, you should be thinking of position opposed to throw or your stroke. Stay focused on the right thing and your game will get better!

What do you mean by English?

I have to admit I'm still confused and can't get it..I will have to watch this video over and over and experiment on the table with BHE and FHE until I finally get it.

Great info but one question. Wouldn’t a pivot of cue with a long bridge cause a greater deviation from original aim line than a short bridge? I believe you described it in reverse in this video. Thanks

One of the best explanations. Already watched this a few times and shared this. Thanks!

this video blew my mind!

Nice title that make me click this video

Adjust my opinion your better off just making the shot as simple as possible. I respect this video an I thank you for it but simplicity is beauty.

Common since. No big deal

no need to apply english (piktos) if your not going to hit the rail... Filipinos do in every shot...

Thank u a lot!

This is the one aspect of the game that I'm trying to master right now. You've added some insight. Thanks!

i''m confused Diamonds, what's it?
, it's equal cm cuz we only use centimeter to measure the distance

Awesome

Bs..

Thanks

I dont understand backhand english vs fronthand english

I really need to learn to compensate for spin induced throw versus just spin deflection. I feel that I miss in mid range balls because of that. In long balls that I don't have to hit too thin, spin induced throw really doesn't bother me much, because I tend to hit them harder. In short distance, I'm currently using the spin induced throw so the cue ball just misses being potted. The mid range is a problem, tho, because I need to account for both and I'd say I misjudge a third of the situations. At quite a few times (half) I still make the ball, but it shakes inside the (tight) pocket, and if my spin is slightly misscalculated, the ball sits there for the other player, which is less of a problem in those tables you play that aren't really that tight. The same principles apply, nevertheless, tho some techniques aren't applicable for a matter of geometry and physical constraints.

I guess I'll try the lessons in this vid. I think the mid pocket ball is the type of drill I need to get this, tho my cue sticks aren't great (cheapo ones, square tipped instead of rounded), tho the only adjustment really is that the shot range within the "ball clock" is just smaller. The spin deflection and spin induced throw happen still, I just can't replicate effects that need a lot of spin, since the cue stick contact with the ball happens in a too small area to drag the ball.

I might buy a cheapo stick and shape it's tip more rounded. Since I've been playing basically uninterrupted twice a week, and I feel like I'm limited by my materials to evolve the next things in my game, tho that's gotta be in a few months.

No wonder why I suck

What about the spin on the object ball, how that will curve? I've been using bhe to get the cb where I expect it and also aim to the edge of the pocket. I'm still figuring it out though
