Superb!! That's the most useful vid I have seen for months. I have been wanting to get advice on how to cannon balls off the cushion for so long, and this lesson so helpful. Thank you Brando. Your channel continues to impress me.
today i spent hours in club and figured out that i bent my arm too much and my weight goes to my right leg and thats why my face is angling different. do you have any video on body weight? dont know what happend to my game but years ago a coach told me to flattern the cue to bed of the table and since then my body weight changed , i dont see much gap between table and cue although i feel my body weight is balanced, but i heard that lots of weight should be on left leg, but when i do that the butt of the cue comes offline to the right. can you help me? tnx
i was told to parallel the cue to bed of table years ago and since then i cannot play at all. my body weight has changed, i have huge alignment problem now, i can see that my cue is very parallel to the table and if forces me to have a bent bridge arm and my body weight feels strange, watched a recent shaun murphys video where he "says body weight should be on left leg if its not then ur stance is wrong"..... do you have any video about weight balance in relation to cue parallel , thank you
the 90 degree angle is not applicable for straight/ straightish shots and very thin cuts . I mean you can't force an angle on those two angles by going high or low on the cue ball right.
The 90° rule between the cue ball and object ball is for a perfect stun shot only - ie. when the white is not rolling on impact. It works for all angles including fine cuts and straight shots, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4. A full on and straight perfect stun shot won't transfer the ball off the tangent sideways because on impact there is no energy left in the white as it's mass is the same as the object ball so it stops dead when it transfers it's momentum into the object ball. If you hit perfect stun, but slightly off center, you get a slight amount of roll along the tangent. For full face top and screw shots it will give the maximum effect with top and screw and transfer all the top or screw into forward of backward motion. For a fine cut it's the opposite, where the ball is travelling almost perfectly along the tangent already, and has only transferred a tiny amount of momentum into the object ball, so no matter what you do with the white, top or screw will hardly have any effect on it - until you hit a cushion :). For most 'natural angles' played with some kind of top or screw 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 balls, the deflection angle is more like 30°, but it's more complex. For 1/4 and 3/4 balls it's less, about 27°, and for a 1/2 shot it's 33°. So this is the 'about' 30° rule, but you are really just generalising for the effects of medium top and screw on general 'natural angle' shots. They are still going off the tangent until the spin on the white takes effect, rounding off the effect to about 30°.
Brandon, you are the best couch ever👍
This 90° angel helped me a lot I have more cue ball control now 👍 thank you.

That’s something I haven’t been aware of in years and years of playing. You really are the best…Thank you.
Continue learning from you
Very nicely explained. You are good at this man. Appreciated.
Fantastic! Thanks.
Your Tutorial is very useful. ❤

Shaun is correct, yeah :)
Good video
Great vídeo
