Good info Dupree. A suggestion for your videos: show an angle of the camera set up behind you so viewers can see how you are lining up and cueing. The whole right/left thing gets a bit confusion when viewers are observing with the cue ball coming toward them.
It can get confusing but practicing it will help u understand.i jus try to remember right English throws to the left and vice versa after a while it's easier to understand
He tells you left or right spin (English). It’s up to you to practice and see how much left or right to use. It’ll be different for all different angles.
If someone has pointed this out earlier then I apologize, I didn't want to read all the replies. The reason the ball is going in even though he is using the "wrong" english is not due to english, it is due to the deflection of the cue ball when he cues it off center. When he is cutting a ball to the left he aligns for a thin cut. When he applies left english the cue hits to the left of center of the cue ball which forces it to deflect to the right. So his thin cut becomes even thinner. The stiffer the cue the more deflection you get. It's why they make low deflection cues, so it's easier to aim when using english.
great lessons. extreme cut shot had always be my most difficult situation in the game and it comes alot. cant wait to apply ur teaching to my game. thanks.. keep up ur great work and waiting for ur next tutotial videos
Thanks Dupree, good info. The reason for the direction of the spin in your shots is that the spin the object ball takes is always the opposite direction of the spin you give to the cue ball.
Great tips. I much prefer cutting. Not good at banking. Knowing I can cut these impossible looking cuts will come in real handy! Thanks, you got a new subscriber here!
Dude, your videos are great. Good explaination and good examples that can be applied in various other situations. I read some of the comments down here and let me tell you this: the way in which you do your videos is what got you the subscribers and loyal followers, DO NOT change the way you do things to appease one or two douchebags. Good stuff man.
No man he should buy a gopro and when showing spins or where to hit the cue ball he should switch to a gopro and then go back to this one,he just has to cut video like 3 times and put one from gopro... simple to edit and would help a lot and also be a better video
Beautiful shots and explanations! As a beginner, it would be great to see exactly where you are hitting the cue ball, either using a graphic or a camera close up of where the cue contacts the cue ball.
Them pockets look like a girl I knew in high school! Keep up the great work, you have a great shot, I hope you have not lost your passion for the game! This video is 5 years old now!
Its not the "spin" that sends it into the rail, but rather the 'cut induced throw,' imparted by the friction of the cue ball contact throwing the object ball slightly in the direction that the cue ball is moving. Putting outside spin on the cue ball eliminates that friction.
ction there is an equal and opposite reactipn.it is not friction.the object ball HAS to move away from the direction of the cue ball ,so you allow for that in the cut OR use english.
I don't think you know what you are talking about. In a frictionless world, the trajectory of the object ball will always be 90 degrees to that of the cue ball. That's basic physics. What is also basic physics is the friction between the object ball and cue ball. The cue ball literally drags the object ball in the same direction as the cue ball causing the trajectory angle to be less than 90 degrees. This can be offset by using outside English (not inside) allowing the cue ball to roll off the object ball like a gear. There are some great videos out there on contact induced throw and spin induced throw. I recommend that you watch them.
You dont exactly know what you are talking about either shaun but you have everything else right but i got no clue as to what you are talking about with the friction-less world stuff. My world has friction, so i dont care about theoretical conclusions. Inside english will also alleviate friction induced grab or cling, which ever one prefers to call it. So will draw and top spin if there is skid involved. The draw is a given for skid effect rather quickly despite velocity, but in the case of top spin, its harder to produce the skid as quickly because velocity sends the mass forward before the skid takes place. ....... and because it is difficult to produce a needed level stroke and all these variable physics combinations as well as the cueball bouncing more often with high english rather than draw, top of the rail in the way of the stroke hand for a level stroke in many situations, distance between cue ball and object ball etc etc etc, high english is the least effective out of what i call "lubricant". Spin or vertical axis side spin with no skid is the best lubricant. Spin induced throw is most effective when combined with skid. The skid is most of the cause for effective throw. Thats why pure vertical draw will definitely help thin cuts tremendously.
paul couto cling or skid only has to do with a dirty cue ball and extreme diversion from the expected path. This is throw, of which there are two types, contact induced and spin induced. There are some great videos out there showing there effects and explaining how to compensate for it, along with demonstrations. You should take a few minutes to watch them.
I noticed that too. I think its good to have your home table with narrow pockets so when you go to the bar they look huge and makes you look better. I'm glad my cheap home table has narrow ones and the bar I go too big ones. However, not as big as that table.
Sensational Stuff! In the immortal words of Fats Brown, "It takes more than skill to be a champion. It takes equal parts of talent, luck, work, and nerve..."
Nice video! Regarding the spins you are having trouble explaining, you can refer to them as inside and outside English. On a cut shot where you cut an object ball left, inside English is left spin, outside is right spin. If you cut an object ball to the right, inside is right and outside is left. Keep up the good work
Opposite if your left handed? Being left handed "cutting" seems natural for me but I never knew I had to spin it, I must do it subconsciously. I just play pool for fun, never got into the terminology but my friends think I'm crazy when I make these shots. Is it easier for left handed?
When you shoot the 8 ball you did aim the left of the cue ball, is it the same if you hit the right of the cue aiming to the left of the 8 ball will still get it to the right corner pocket, yes or no?
I also hear the cue ball lifting off the surface after hitting the rails so they are just a little low. Keep up the good work on your videos good info.
What you're actually talking about on those "aim to miss"shots, is "throw".It's not spin that makes the cue ball hit short of the pocket,but throw.The cue ball actually drags the object ball off line.Throw is an important concept to understand,because you can use it to make otherwise impossible shots. Inside english will increase throw,while outside english will diminish throw.
I could have used this video before I played last night. I learned a lot; now I have to apply it. It would be helpful for many if you could find a way to show the view from the stick's point of vies. To see where you strike the ball and watch the cue do its work. That would be cool.
Thank you. Hubby is trying to teach me and I end up frustrated and confused. I am not trying to become a pro. I just want to make the game fun for us both. This video really explained something I had been wondering about. I wonder if you could make one with a go pro so we could see the shots from the shooters perspective. Just a thought. I tend to lose my target when I walk around the ball.
ty for all ur tips i did some of these shots with spin i never knew that u have to use a bit of side lol the only shot i can get 1 out of ten is the extreme cuts u played the first 2 shots can be a bit award for me to play but ur cut down the table is norm for me ty a lot for ur detail explanation i will try the extreme cut with side once again
On the yellow ball shot at approx 3 mins he uses totally the wrong spin (left). I think the only reason he pots the ball is that the cueball is 'thrown' to the right, thus making it an extremely fine cut. If he's making it with left spin then you could play this with no side at all (far safer) and still make the ball.
This is true. I recommend outside English on back cuts, as the spin will throw the object ball to the thin side. Inside spin is usually reserved for frozen rail shots.
I still can't believe he pulled off that over 90 degree cut shot the length of the table. I used to be very good at that type of cut when I played but that shot was phenomenal.
I have, since finding your channel, taken to watching your videos while I eat lunch and then go home and apply the techniques. Thanks for improving my game. I usually just try to cut the object ball very thin to make the shot. Aiming to miss sounds dangerous, but I will definitely give it a try.
Ya know on planes they say check now where your nearest exit is in case of an emergency and it may be behind you. Well, check to see if the pool pro is a great explainer who'll save your game in an emergency and he may be behind (or younger) than you. Point. Case. Win. Also, disregard any negative comments proffered by less than great pool players here in your comments section who'll find anything from (pocket size, video pauses, extra verbiage - i like that) to diss you. HEY PEOPLE, if you don't want to hear him, mute your machine. D'oH! i actually put on the annotations as I have a lot of background noise here in Manhattan, NY so I enjoy your explanations. For example "I like the long cut because it's a beautiful shot; beautiful - yeah when its executed beautifully which happens to me 2 times out of ten but there's always room for improvement and isn't that the point here? Keep those videos coming, this one totally helped my game by remembering to "aim for the miss" and a simple yet fantastic explanation for using spin and backspin. Jeez where were you 7 years ago when I was, and am still, struggling with those cut shots. Banks are my strength, but ya need to be good all-around or in your case great all -around.
Well said, Phil...the kid is doing a good job in terms novice players can understand. Why in the world, if all you can do is make negative BS comments, would someone spend the time to watch? The hot shot criticism freaks should be out hustling for big dough. I doubt any of them could take you in a heads-up match.
Love how he says "and here it is" and then skips all the times that he missed. Would love to see him explain a shot for 15 minutes and then make the ball with no cutaways
You are a great shot. For teaching purposes beginners may be putting opposite spin than that of which you are describing, mixing up right spin and right English. Clarify where you hit your cue ball.
1st shot: IIRC from Byrne, the cue ball does not spin the object ball into the rail, it pushes it into the rail. English on the cue counteracts the push.
I watched over and over - for instance at 8:40. If you watch the numbers on the 2 ball it doesn't look like there is any spin on the ball - it looks to me like it is rolling straight as an arrow and the numbers do not change orientation at all. So I don't get what spin you are talking about. It makes sense to me that the object ball would spin with an extreme cut but...just can't see it. What am I missing?
I've been putting inside english my whole life since i was 7 (because thats the way I was taught) but i think you are right it make more sense to me , can you elaborate on why?
Oh I get it now, it's because he's actually back-cutting the final shot. The angle he's aiming for is smaller than 90 degrees (since he's aiming to miss).
@@onetzaid1 because when you use inside english you actually aim a little farther to the right than you would need to and the spin causes the cue ball to slightly curve towards the object ball thereby giving you a better angle on the strike as if the cut were actually less of a cut than it is. on the rail cuts the cue ball is coming off of the rail first and the inside english causes the cue ball to then hit the object ball so the object ball does NOT strike the rail and can then stay tight to the rail.
Thanks man. Great job. But it will be better for viewers if you show point of contact between stick and cue ball. Also we need to know how you are aiming around the target ball. Thanks
As far as the first two example (thats as far as I got), the shots you are missing are on purpose. You can easily make those shots by aiming at the correct line. you do not have to aim to miss the shot. NOW let me tell you why. You are telling people to use inside english to lengthen the cut angle, which does the opposite. "gearing outside" english would eliminate throw, and excessive outside english widens the angle. So, the fact that you are using the incorrect english (left in the case of the back-cut) and STILL made the shot into the heart of the pocket is proof that you can hit just about any cut shot on the correct line and still make it. I enjoy your videos and I don't want to bad-mouth you, I just hate to see misinformation spreading.
The only thing better than understanding how the cue ball “spin” can “throw” the object ball is having “young eyes.” Make these shots now because they will get much, much harder the older you get. Good video instruction - thanks for posting.
It is not so much the spin of the object ball that is causing it to go into the rail. More so, it is caused by the direction of the cueball's force. When the cueball touches the object ball, the direction of that touching-force is toward the rail. Some of that touching-force's direction does indeed causes the object ball to spin, but the predominant reason of it's railward diversion (off the line of centers) is the direction of the frictional force during impact.
Very good. On the ball you was shooting in the side pocket? And wasn’t a straight in shot. You could of banked the object ball across the center pocket. On the other side. You know your pool pretty good there. Rackem up! Let’s Play Pool? 🎱👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Can someone explain using inside spin on a cut (not on the rail). Left spin should throw the object ball right and right should throw left. Why would you want to use left spin for an extreme cut to the left?
Funny how you showed the long rail shot in this video as I had been practicing that today with CTE and 90/90 aiming and missing every time. Now I can do this with the "aim to miss" approach and will need to figure out which angles call for this -- in other words, when does CTE and 90/90 stop working on these long steep cut shots? Angle is no problem when close to the pocket, like a couple or few feet, but when the distance is more than half the table those methods need to be tweaked with aim to miss. Hmmm, maybe edge of ferrule aiming?
You should do some videos on how to avoid that double kiss, where possible. Something I only see pretty advanced players doing correctly, using draw/follow and English properly for each case, where it leads or trails the cue ball on the kiss. A very good thing to know. If you don't know how, there is a vid on Dr. Daves site about it. There are also a couple of INTENTIONAL double kiss shots a (used to be) SUPERB snooker player showed me where it looks like you have the side pocket shot with a double kiss certainty, so you hit it JUST SO to get the double and send it to the corner pocket. He also showed me a shot where he placed the object in the far corner diagonal cross table from the corner he was shooting the cue, and placed another ball about six inches frozen on the short rail near the cue pocket, then shot in the corner shot and drew the ball, no cushions all the way back to make the frozen high angle (pretty near zero error budget) cut shot on that remaining ball. Took him three tries, first hit the ball, didn't make it, second off the ball/wrong side by millimeters, third cut the ball right in the pocket. My response (Do you think that makes me like you more or less"? He laughed, AMAZING rock control that guy has. He came one missed final shot from winning the Australian Open snooker many years back, like I said, was REALLY good. Evidently a camera man moved just as he took the shot. I would have been livid, but he's pretty easy going. Keep up the fun! ;-) Your final shot brought it to mind (X about 100). I run that exercise every now and again to check my center ball hitting and accurate aiming, it's a good one.
What you are doing is hitting the "Ghost Ball." You are correct...hitting the Ghost Ball with the que ball will have the object ball go in every time! 😉😁✔👍🏾
It all comes down to aim. If you're aiming for the outside edge of the pocket, (like you should), you'll naturally aim to overcut. I see people aim to the wrong part of the pocket on shallower cuts and 'BOOM', right into the rail. It used to be 'egg money', now I just feel bad for people. Nice vid!
I must use spin alot more than I thought bc I usually aim to the heart of the pocket on must shots...well then actually on thinner more extreme shots I do shoot to miss thin now I think about it
This is great info, we would need to practice it and figure out how it works on different tables to get the percentage up, but yes it is an option to playing safe or if we can still play safe while doing this maybe if our percentage at doing it is not yet high enough.. We would not want to leave our opponent straight in :-)
Nice video. Looks like your rails need their height adjusted. The cube ball should never bounce and get air when it rebounds off a rail, like the cue ball did in the last cut shot.
You're a good teacher! I aimed to miss and I missed!
lol
E Dinger

He is telling you to hit rail then ball.
Good info Dupree. A suggestion for your videos: show an angle of the camera set up behind you so viewers can see how you are lining up and cueing. The whole right/left thing gets a bit confusion when viewers are observing with the cue ball coming toward them.
I was going to say the same thing. I need to know where on the cue did he hit.. High low mid, left right center.. LMAO soooooo much
It can get confusing but practicing it will help u understand.i jus try to remember right English throws to the left and vice versa after a while it's easier to understand
I agree also not sure what way English he is using
Good question, i don't think he has a camera
He tells you left or right spin (English). It’s up to you to practice and see how much left or right to use. It’ll be different for all different angles.

But it will be better for viewers if you show point of contact between stick and cue ball. Also we need to know how you are aiming around the target ball.
Thanks
I have trouble with the reverse cut by corner pocket i had to master it same way hes explaining because its super important shot in one pocket
Good job sir
What does power mean?
Is it about long back swing or throwing it forward forcefully?
Gotta say that's a hell of a cut.
How wide are pockets also you have bevel toward pocket so you can give lessons with fewer misses right
My old Buddy Clyde used to say, "If you really wanna WIN, you gotta cut 'em in"....
For the first example when you "aimed to miss " we're did you hit the cue ball?
I aimed to miss this video but clicked play be accident!
Damn you make some bad ass shots look easy.
great shot,very nice,thank you!!
As far as the first two example (thats as far as I got), the shots you are missing are on purpose. You can easily make those shots by aiming at the correct line. you do not have to aim to miss the shot. NOW let me tell you why. You are telling people to use inside english to lengthen the cut angle, which does the opposite. "gearing outside" english would eliminate throw, and excessive outside english widens the angle. So, the fact that you are using the incorrect english (left in the case of the back-cut) and STILL made the shot into the heart of the pocket is proof that you can hit just about any cut shot on the correct line and still make it. I enjoy your videos and I don't want to bad-mouth you, I just hate to see misinformation spreading.
Zach Snyder I concur
Saw that too, got comfused since he is a better player than me but I am glad you corrected him.
totally! he got taught wrong on lots of these vids.
This...!
This is amazing
Thanks this really help me
How come u don't use a camera to show where u hit the qb, inside or outside hit?
thanks for this tutorial, i learned something new. Ur really great.
You should diagram this on a white board...
Or use chalk on the felt...
Great work keep it up but at some time i do not see the angle on the cue ball when you apply the stroke thank you.
The only thing better than understanding how the cue ball “spin” can “throw” the object ball is having “young eyes.” Make these shots now because they will get much, much harder the older you get. Good video instruction - thanks for posting.
Disagree.
It is not so much the spin of the object ball that is causing it to go into the rail. More so, it is caused by the direction of the cueball's force. When the cueball touches the object ball, the direction of that touching-force is toward the rail. Some of that touching-force's direction does indeed causes the object ball to spin, but the predominant reason of it's railward diversion (off the line of centers) is the direction of the frictional force during impact.
"It sounds impossible, but here I am doing it"
Sheeeesh
It is impossible the vid is reversed😂😂
@@tuhavimahi423 what are you talkin about
Very good. On the ball you was shooting in the side pocket? And wasn’t a straight in shot. You could of banked the object ball across the center pocket. On the other side. You know your pool pretty good there. Rackem up! Let’s Play Pool? 🎱👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Can someone explain using inside spin on a cut (not on the rail). Left spin should throw the object ball right and right should throw left. Why would you want to use left spin for an extreme cut to the left?
You're right but here he compensates the wrong spin with the aim to miss.
Funny how you showed the long rail shot in this video as I had been practicing that today with CTE and 90/90 aiming and missing every time. Now I can do this with the "aim to miss" approach and will need to figure out which angles call for this -- in other words, when does CTE and 90/90 stop working on these long steep cut shots? Angle is no problem when close to the pocket, like a couple or few feet, but when the distance is more than half the table those methods need to be tweaked with aim to miss. Hmmm, maybe edge of ferrule aiming?
You should do some videos on how to avoid that double kiss, where possible. Something I only see pretty advanced players doing correctly, using draw/follow and English properly for each case, where it leads or trails the cue ball on the kiss. A very good thing to know. If you don't know how, there is a vid on Dr. Daves site about it. There are also a couple of INTENTIONAL double kiss shots a (used to be) SUPERB snooker player showed me where it looks like you have the side pocket shot with a double kiss certainty, so you hit it JUST SO to get the double and send it to the corner pocket.
He also showed me a shot where he placed the object in the far corner diagonal cross table from the corner he was shooting the cue, and placed another ball about six inches frozen on the short rail near the cue pocket, then shot in the corner shot and drew the ball, no cushions all the way back to make the frozen high angle (pretty near zero error budget) cut shot on that remaining ball. Took him three tries, first hit the ball, didn't make it, second off the ball/wrong side by millimeters, third cut the ball right in the pocket. My response (Do you think that makes me like you more or less"? He laughed, AMAZING rock control that guy has. He came one missed final shot from winning the Australian Open snooker many years back, like I said, was REALLY good. Evidently a camera man moved just as he took the shot. I would have been livid, but he's pretty easy going. Keep up the fun! ;-) Your final shot brought it to mind (X about 100). I run that exercise every now and again to check my center ball hitting and accurate aiming, it's a good one.
What if the object ball was in the middle of the table and u want to hit it in the top right hand corner pocket where u hit the cue ball
What you are doing is hitting the "Ghost Ball." You are correct...hitting the Ghost Ball with the que ball will have the object ball go in every time! 😉😁✔👍🏾
It all comes down to aim. If you're aiming for the outside edge of the pocket, (like you should), you'll naturally aim to overcut. I see people aim to the wrong part of the pocket on shallower cuts and 'BOOM', right into the rail.
It used to be 'egg money', now I just feel bad for people.
Nice vid!
Why not make the side pocket back cut at the end with just straight middle follow thru?
Can you position the camera so I can see your English as well looking down the table to the receiving pocket?
I must use spin alot more than I thought bc I usually aim to the heart of the pocket on must shots...well then actually on thinner more extreme shots I do shoot to miss thin now I think about it
Very good instruction and wish you had more to learn from. Aplus 12:55
This is great info, we would need to practice it and figure out how it works on different tables to get the percentage up, but yes it is an option to playing safe or if we can still play safe while doing this maybe if our percentage at doing it is not yet high enough.. We would not want to leave our opponent straight in :-)
Nice video. Looks like your rails need their height adjusted. The cube ball should never bounce and get air when it rebounds off a rail, like the cue ball did in the last cut shot.
Your are amazing, I love watching you!
'
Good job. Some photo shots close and behind you when you shoot would be nice. Thumbs up.
Thanks for the video
Oh my God! This is superb, I can't wait to execute these kinds of shots
Are your bumpers too low? It sounds like it jumps everytime a ball comes off a rail
put the white ball at other side of table and another ball at opposite end and cut shot it. thats my favorite
Great technics and explained very basically.
this is indeed how i learned cut induced throw
nice haven't seen that in a long time
When aiming to miss, are you still using Center English?
NICE POOL ROOM !
