    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!

    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.

    • @vmax4steve524
      @vmax4steve524 4 роки тому

      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.

    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.

    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 :)

      @crazyrichdolls3860 5 років тому

      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.

    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.

    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.

    @mohdfairuzahmad5091 4 роки тому

    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..

    @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?

    Great stuff..can you do a video for various safety shots involving side spin?

    Most other coaches I've seen say that the main counter effect to deflection is "spin induced throw" which causes it to miss on the opposite side of the pocket on soft shots, rather than arc. I guess it's a purely theoretical question, but why do you think it's arc rather than throw?
