This is the first time I’ve seen a video of playing a shot with side and how it affects as to weather the object ball goes down or not. It has been explained extremely clearly and I actually understand what Steve is saying. Thank You so much Steve for your incredible instructional videos.
Couldn't agree more. Watched breakfromlife, stephen hendry and even another video from this chap on side spin and only this particular video managed to make it really sink in. It's also exactly what I was looking for cos I keep finding myself perfectly straight on the blue while doing Hendry's line up!
This is, by far, the best video I’ve seen (and I have watched a lot of videos!) on the effects of side spin when pocketing the object ball, and controlling the after-shot position of the cue ball. The use of dynamic diagraming, combined with on-screen text really clarifies the entire shot process. Beautiful job!
Great lesson! May I suggest that you do multiple videos covering side spin. It takes many examples for these concepts to sink in...and there aren't that many online. Keep producing these wonderful tutorials, and thank you for putting the time into this.
This is a fantastic example of side spin and I must say one of the best videos out there. Well done Barton snooker - I am saving up to have one on one coaching with you and in the hope of taking my game to new levels! I did contact you a few months back from Birmingham! Thank you for all these amazing videos helping to improve people's snooker all around the world!
Excellent explanation of the use of side and how certain degrees of power and extreme side can throw the white differently. I remember my coach Neil Johnson telling me experiment with different degrees of side with various amounts of power and also short distance and long distance. I’m struggling at the minute with long distance safety and shots to nothing using side and plain ball. My eyesight is either going or my setup I.e. technique / sighting has changed as I took 2 months away from the game. I’m planning to visit my coach again in the coming months to revise my setup. You’re a great coach I always watch your videos as I like your interactive, visual and explanatory nature of how you put together your videos. It gives the viewer a feel of actually being there with you by way of you including the power meter and various camera angles, etc. Brilliant coach. I look forward to the upcoming vids 😀💪
I'm an old American pool player who is fascinated with the game of snooker and the skills I see. You have my respect. I have never used side spin unless it was top or screw side spin and then, only a tip either way from center. I have only been concerned for what happens to the object ball when using spin. I call it throwing the object ball. I never had lessons but I did learn tips from good pool players that were older than me. Thanks for a great video. You are a talented teacher.
Nigel Bond gave me an excellent tip about using 'helping side'. In cases where you have too much angle on say the black to hold for the next red, use helping side (running side) to hit the black thick and still make the pot to hold position. Brilliant tip that has helped me to continue breaks.
You don't hit the black thick, you aim the black thick because the cue ball has deflected, swerved a tad and therefore has approached the black from a different line which helps to hold it. It's very slight this deflection and swerve, but it's crucial to offset your aiming to allow for it.
@@BartonSnooker When you 're going for left or right side spin,do you calculate compenzation for the cue ball in preshot rutine,or you can make adjustments when you stand in shot postion?
Thank you so much for this. Can you also please make a video about trying to pot a ball from the cushion (double)? It's tips, tricks, and how to measure angles correctly from different positions, like when its right against the cushion, or its in the middle of the table. And also trying the double towards the middle or corner pockets as well! Cheers!
This is a great video. As you know I play billiards, not snooker, but in billiards you use so much side, I'm hoping having watched this video it will help me out!
Very well done Barton, I eventually have understood how to aim with side spin and I am going to apply these principles at the pool table. I think there is no difference between snooker and pool talking about how to aim with side spin
Thank you so much Mr Barton. I loved all your videos, keep it up the good work as it helps me a lot in playing better snooker. Really appreciate that :)
The arc effect will depend on the nap of the cloth too. When playing from baulk end to black end, the cue ball will drift back to its original path, but if you are playing against the nap from black end to baulk end, the cue ball will drift further from the original path.
and this is why when i play a new table i spend a few mins just hitting the white up and down and acrros the table with various spin and strength to get a feel for the speed and run of a table. as every table is different if only slightly.
Great explanation of spin. Watched many other videos of this , none come close to yours. I have been breaking with a lot of spin, the same principle for hitting the head ball. I am not getting a good hit on head ball because my English is pushing me off a direct hit. Will have to compensate for English to get the direct hit on breaks. Thanks
Thank you, sir, very clear explanation, I've noticed the palm position of some people playing side is the same as normal, just move the cue left/right by using the palm as a pivot, but what I learned is moving the whole palm to left/right (parallel with the normal shot), could you please tell me what is the difference between these?
Great video, but! From my experience, the cue ball always flicks the object ball slightly on its way to the pocket, depending on the side spin of the cue ball. For example, if you are playing the shot with lefthand side, the cue ball is gonna flick the object ball a bit to the right on its way to the pocket, so thats one more thing to keep in mind, but very difficult to judge sometimes :)
Absolutely fantastic video .any chance you can give us a video how much to allow for side over different distances? Say 4ft-5 ft all the way up to long pots. Give us some idea how much allowance for side over many distances
Excellent well explained tutorial channel!, I hope that I don’t get to play you in my club when I think I’m a top dog with my highest break ever of 57 ?. I have recently got a new cue that is heavy and the prominent grain has helped me with my overall game. I don’t hit the balls any where near as hard as I used to do and I have realised that it’s my delivery and follow through that I have been working on with your help, great job pal and keep up the good work
You'd be surprised how little difference it makes on a lot of shots. When you're close in, a lot of the effects I talk about in the video cancel one another out, so it's nowhere near as complicated as it would seem. Have a play around with it 👍
Hi Steve Great video seen your previous video on side spin without graphics would like to see line of aim with ghost ball allowing for adjustment with spin I know I put unwanted side and left eye dominant seen videos keep missing easy pots trying to correct tks would book a lesson only for distance??
Hi Steve, when you walk into the shot should the cue be on a parallel line to what it would be for centre ball striking, or do you step into the shot with the cue line as for centre striking and move the cue butt left or right as required? Great video series, thanks
You walk in on a new different line and the cue should be parallel. Do not pull the butt offline to add the side spin. Great question. Thanks a lot for watching 🙂
Thank you so much Steve for this tutorial, this is the best video I have seen on side spin top coach. Can you do a video on the mental side of game, including technique, game plan and any other info you think is important for the game Thanks bro?
BTW, very well created and edited. I cna clearly see your passion for this game. I dont live in the UK. If I did, I would definitely take a few lessons from you.
Thanks for this video🎥.. Because whenever I try the side spin I find it difficult to pot the ball. Thanks once again. Warm regards, The UnknownManCub👍 😎
You forgot to mention using left hand side will kick the object ball to the right, and right hand side will kick the object ball to the left. For some side spin shot where deflection is not a lot , you can still aim without compensation due to this effect.
This is definitely the third factor to compensate when using side. Like you said when side is applied, the friction of the cue ball will "kick" the object ball to the opposite side, I would say up to 5° which makes some impossible thin cuts possible. Some players say the side spin of the cue ball "transfer" to the object ball and I think the term "transfer" is misleading, it merely "kick" the object ball by a few degrees.
@@crazyrichdolls3860 the side spin does transfer to the object ball, it is used when you are trying to pot a ball that is sticking to the cushion, the very small transfered spin will grasp the cushion a little bit to stick to the cushion.
@@rickywong4054 I've experimented a lot with this but I really don't feel the transfer, I've seen slow motion videos on youtube which also doesn't show the object ball with transferred side spin. Do you have any good videos which show otherwise?
This is why im finding side tricky! How about ensuring the cue still travels parallel to the direction of aim? I suppose one might try and only move the bridging hand, which would change the direction of the cue?
Great stuff. Your camera is constantly trying to adjust the light level. It looks so sensitive that it even tries depending on whether your face is looking straight ahead or down. I would turn that feature off or look into some lighting strategy that keeps a more consistent profile so the camera isn't adjusting so much. If you watch pool vids from Griff's in Vegas you'll notice odd red/blue lights on the wall. I believe these are designed for that. Maybe someone with more tech can add to this.
Thanks for the great video, its really helpful. But i have a question please, what about spin induced throw on the object ball?? Does change the path of the object ball? And should we compensate for that? Thanks again for ur effort😁
Hi Steve, Great video. I would just add to this that it might be advisable for people to learn to cue the cue ball dead centre, and understand where to strike the cue ball dead centre! Also, some players might be already putting unintentional side on and not realising where they were aiming either. So, for me, it would be better to learn to pot dead center until they feel confident and then introduce side gradually. Don't run before you can walk! But this is a great video for explaining the theory! Well played.
Hi Chris, thanks. You're exactly right there Chris and I think that is excellent advice. We must get the fundamentals right first and then move on to more advanced shots. Thanks for the advice, it's very useful 🙂
@@BartonSnooker Fundamentals are essencial, of course, but I understand this video IS about side, therefore it focuses on this.. Steve is a great instructor and the video is perfect.. fundamentals sure come on another video ABOUT fundamentals.. = )
Greta video mate very clear… I have a question if someone can help me….even after accounting for deflection the side I put on the que ball generates opposite swerve on the object ball I tested it a few times and it seems the ball will always kick the opposite side, is this a case of deflection that I can’t see or does the rotation of the cue call cause the opposite reaction to the object ball ??
an excellent video. There is one thing that noone covers with the aim. Does the cues stay on the aim line an cued at an angle to the straight line off when striking the ball or is the cue parallel to the aim liner and cued straight. I can't find anyone that covers this. Everyone mentions aiming to the different regions of the ball.
good explanation on how ball will react when side applied, how ever you for got to mention few thing and i would like to add, 1) bridge distance, the closer your bridge hand to white ball will drastically increase angle of deflection when side apply, the longer the distance bridge hand from white ball will result opposite ( as result are vary from 1 cues to another, much stiffer shaft require more distance and less stiff shaft will result opposite. 2) Aiming with adjustment, is a bad method to do specially under pressure shot in a real match game, its more to a feeling like + with some luck advantages, it is better to find method that much more technical approach, which is suggest by "DR.Dave@billiard.edu" which is much more consistent on every technique and step. " angle of throw by side = length of front shaft vibration & flex. Those method that you explain took me over 4 year to understand" its actually much more physic and science involve", and its really will cause confusion to a young player, so its better to leave aiming adjustment away from training module rather focus more on technically approach on how to deliver cue ball in straight line even when side apply. cheers..
Can you explain when I cue top or bottom and sidespin with low speed the cue ball works immidiately right ? It between normal shot or am I wrong. Thanks for sugguestion.🙏🙇♂️
