Most of your video highlighted things that I know well and already incorporate in my game all the time, but the bit about the effect of the drag shot was super interesting to me. Never occurred to be to hit bottom drag spin to accentuate the side action off of the rail (especially on a shot like the one at 7:43 where it looks like top spin would be necessary. Super counter-intuitive and very cool.)

Hi Dr. Dave! This video has been so influential for me learning how to control the cue ball! I heard some people saying they avoid inside spin on a lot of shots because it can cause someone to miss because of throw etc..is it advisable to avoid using inside on any shots even if it is needed for shape, or is it important to use inside and all other forms of spin if the situation needs it and to use SAWS / BHE / FHE to just make sure the adjustment is made for throw / squerve etc? Thank you Dr. Dave!

I'm glad to hear it. You're welcome. With SAWS, inside spin shots (which are sometimes required) are no different than outside spin shots (which are also sometimes required). You can be just as accurate with either (with SAWS).

Thank you for this. What I don’t understand is where is the cue stick aiming ? How do you aim the cue stick to where you need to hit the object ball if you’re hitting the cue ball off center? I understand a center hit because you are directly aiming the cue stick toward the point where you want the cue ball to hit the object ball. I understand the spins. Thank you

What table size do you recommend to practice BCA rules on? Following BCA rules has significantly improved the quality of the games I've played with my friends. My next goal is to practice my spins and cue ball control, but I want to train properly. The billiard halls near me offer 8 and 9 foot tables, but the 9 foot tables are far fewer (ten 8ft tables to three 9 ft tables), so I don't have a lot of opportunities to practice on 9 ft tables since they're typically always booked.

@DrDaveBilliards

Good pool can be played on tables of any size, under any rules. My favorite game is 8-ball on a “bar box” (7’). Lots of problems to solve, and CB control (with and without sidespin) is critical. I also like practicing on a 9’ table to keep my ball pocketing sharp.

Does it make a difference if you hit the object ball on the far left or right when adding left/right English?

Left/right refers only to the side of the CB you hit. Other names apply based on the direction of cut (inside/outside) and the incoming angle into the first cushion (running/reverse). For more info and demonstrations, see: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/sidespin/terminology-and-uses/

Sidespin is basically all I use in 9 ball tourneys. If you use it right, you'll get position, run out and there you go. Much easier for me anyway vs hard draws and follows. I use sidespin and stuns and natural neutral straight shots.

@@DrDaveBilliards I almost struck there for 5 mins and thinking how right spin could do... :( may be you can add it in title. But apart from that, this is just an amazing video. Keep going Dr. and thanks a lot.

Does it work the same in a wool cloth? Or do I have to apply more spin to the cb?

Spin will wear off faster on slower cloths (especially for soft-speed shots), so you will need to add more spin (and use more speed) on a slower cloth.

@@DrDaveBilliards thanks for the reply. By the way, the video you did with with Rollie was awesome. Thank you for giving the pool and snooker community all the amazing content.

Keeping it loose it may wobble a stick and ultimately miss a shot. In snooker when playing a long shot one must have a controlled grip but i can't do it due to my height that is 6.5 inches. The cue goes up and the aim misses

Agreed. The grip should be relaxed, but it should not be loose with slop.

How come the clock drill doesn’t include any “hours” between 3-9 with draw and and side spin?

I would need more distance between the CB and OB to ensure full roll at the OB (otherwise, the CB would not go into the rail at the natural angle). Good idea, though.

When using sidespin, you need to know how to compensate your aim for squirt, swerve, and throw. For more info, see the videos and articles here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/sidespin/aim/compensation/

so your saying to get more side spin affect off cushion you need to hit cue ball slower rather than faster for the spin to take affect ?

@DrDaveBilliards

That is true when using a drag shot, where you want the CB to also develop full forward roll, but it is not true in general. With long slow-speed shots, the sidespin actually wears off some (or completely depending on conditions and the amount of spin) before the CB reaches the rail.

if I use side spin the ball that I want to put in the hole will not be the same direction as if I don't use sidespin

I ADDED EACH POSITION TO MY PHONE. THEN I USE PHONE ON TABLE TO PRACTICE SHOTS. THEN I GO ANOTHER DAY AND ADD MORE SHOTS. SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TABLES OR LAPTOPS. SO THE PHONE WORKS GREAT.

It does not look like your using backhand English where you pivot your stick.what’s up with that?

I've told you this many times already. I usually edit out all the pre-shot routine stuff to make videos like this shorter. I use SAWS (appropriate combinations of BHE and FHE) on every shot with sidespin, per the info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/sidespin/aim/saws/

None of the tables I play on will react nearly that easy

@DrDaveBilliards

One must always be able to adjust to different table conditions. A slower table will obviously require more shot speed and maybe more spin, and some shots will obviously not be possible on a really slow table with dead cushions.

Where is the link for the quiz :X

If by "quiz" you mean the collection of example sidespin shots, it is linked in the video description, along with other useful stuff. Here's the link: billiards.colostate.edu/resource_files/BU_English_Examples.pdf

Great vid, however you never mention where you Exactly aim the OB to go... In theory this is easy. In practice it can be a nightmare.
