Sorry for the many ads in this video! As you all know, I am doing this full time, and I've just put so many hours of work into this video that otherwise it wouldn't be profitable. If you want to support, just head over to my shop or my exclusive content. Maybe you'll find something you really like. Links are in the video description. Apart from that, I really hope that you've enjoyed this video and learned something new!
This is easily the best video I've ever seen on this topic. Very thorough and explained incredibly well. I love that you demonstrate the physics going on and how to execute each example. Thank you and please never stop!
The clearest and simplest video on spin EVER! The visual lines showing how and why the balls are deflected makes it much easier to remember. Many many thanks 😊
I love the more technical videos. I appreciate they're difficult to produce, but this is where your channel has tought me many things about the game, despite playing league pool for 20 years!
Very good video. Helpful and accurate information. It's worth adding that compensating for english is further complicated by the equipment and playing conditions. If you are not playing on a familiar table with familiar balls and a familiar cue and tip, the adjustments change. Dirty worn balls have more cut-induced throw than new or recently-polished balls, and under some circumstances a thing called skid can occur as well. The cue shaft and the hardness of the tip affects deflection. And the cloth's age, cleanliness, and nap affect swerve. In unfamiliar conditions it can be helpful to fall back to using mostly center ball and medium speed, rely on natural roll and speed control for position, then re-introduce english gradually as you become familiar with the conditions.
This is better explanation than your other video about aiming with side spin. The key here for easy understanding is you described deflection later than earlier.
Excellent explanation and demonstration. So often I've played against players who do not have this knowledge and they'll miss a shot like this and walk away from the table scratching their head and sometimes even mumbling under their breath like "I can't believe I missed that shot. I hit it right where I wanted or I hit it dead on. How did that not go in?!" Obviously if I'm competing I'm not going to give advice but as far as my pool league teammates go, I often send your videos to them because it explains it better than I can even if were just having a practice session. That way they can watch, study, and go practice on their own. Many of these things I learned over 45 + years of playing but how good could I have possibly been with this kind of information decades ago?Your explanations don't just help someone play better but help a player to better understand why the balls behave the way they do.
This is why I feel in love with pool. It’s sooo much to the game and I’m not gonna be satisfied until I get majority of it down. Thanks for the great Videos
Regarding spin, this is the best explained video I ever find on youtube. I've never understood the physics behind, not the case anymore! Keep up the good work!
This is THE video that finally, FINALLY, after YEARS of watching other channels, reading books, buying all the latest training/practice aids and never going beyond a beginner level, gave me that awesome AHA moment and really upped my game x10. Thank you so much!
I know I am a little late to the party but this video has completely changed how I envision cut shots with and without sidespin. Your ability to explain it in a way that makes total sense to me is amazing. Please keep up the fantastic work.
I thought the "How to Aim with Side Spin" video 3 years ago was amazing and this is seriously just as good! Thanks Sharivari for the amazing work and hours you put into these videos, simplifying the topic of side like no one else does!!
I'm watching your lesson and writing in my Pool Diary. Basically, it's my log of lessons, techniques and all kinds of good stuff I've picked up over the years. All new players should do this! Buy a blank pad and write down what you learn and track your progress with your log book. You will Thank me in 20 years.........Be Good
this is unbelievably awesome video in so many ways.. the topics .. editing .. graphics.. example.. all top notch .. i never wanted this video to end .. thanks 🙏🏻
Excellent video you got down and explained it in detail because I still have problems with this situation it seems like when I am in a match I still have to run this though my pre shot … thank you
This is genius content brother! Thank you for the effort!seems to me the best stroke one could develop is one that is soft enough to reduce deflection but hard enough to reduce spin induced curve, therefore canceling each other.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I have been a fairly decent amateur pool player over the years, but very often stumbled at certain times while not knowing WHY even though I am well aware of deflection. However, that's where my knowledge ended. Very frustrating to say the least. Your EXCELLENT explanation in this video how CUT and SIDE induced throw, in conjunction with DEFLECTION and cue ball SPEED, have given me an entirely new perspective on exactly why I often miss straightforward simple cut shots. This my friend has frustrated me to no end!!! I believe now that I am armed with this wonderful knowledge you supplied, which I intend to practice until it becomes second nature, will no doubt take my game to another level!!! I have shared this video with several of my friends already. THANK YOU!!!! (also.... I just subscribed 👍)
Excellent animation, very easy to understand! Can you please show how you adjust you cue to apply this spin? Do you move your front hand, or back hand, or parallel shift? Thanks for another great video.
If a new player is going to be self taught as many players were before the internet he just explaineed what would take literally years of information in just minutes. In fact alot of good players would play by feel while not completely understanding the physics. With me growing up a few people could teach you certain things but the main thing id hear is you just got to keep practicing and you would hear that because they themselves didnt know how to explain how they are so good. Great teacher it took me years to learn all that on my own. Looking forward to learning things I still dont! Edit: I was given that little red book written by Willie Masconi and was wished the best of luck was about it lol
It is amazing information. I wish I could remember everything all at once but I will have to take it one thought/spin at a time! Thank you for the video…
@1:55 for many this is also known as TOO (Touch of Outside). It just makes aiming a little easier. And if one use this knowledge together with TOI (Touch of Inside), they could have a very solid pocketing skills.
I've been looking for someone to explain these concepts of side spin in detail - much thanks! - very helpful graphics overlays needed to visualize the concepts ...kudos again
Also good aiming with inside english with slow speed is very useful when you want to "kill" the cueball. I use it by cancelling deflection with swerve...
The '50 yard line shot' comes up all the time and almost exclusively by mistake. This is definitely a shot one needs to be proficient at. Excellent explanation.
@@pioneert90 low deflection shafts have less end weight, causing lower cue ball deflection, meaning you can aim closer to true using spin. Many carbon fiber shafts and a lot of maple shafts now have low deflection.
@@pioneert90 look up low deflection shafts. Also look up the Dr dave video comparing diffrent cues or deflection because he does a great job showing how bridge distance affects it. The tip on a low deflection shaft moves easier so it shares the deflection force. Not as much "push" transfers to the ball. It's no magic tool though. You still have to learn how to shoot with it. I have a carbon fiber and honestly I don't notice much diffrence unless I hit fairly hard. I do love how slick the carbon fiber is. If you like wood and want low deflection check out predators Z shafts or the 314. Z shaft is a conical taper and the z is a pro taper.
Excellent video on this topic. 🙌 I strongly suspect that cut-induced throw was responsible for a LOT of my inconsistent gameplay back when I used to play Pool regularly. The trouble was... I had no idea it was a thing! I was relying on ghost-ball most of the time and scratching my head on occasions where I missed simple shots. 🤦♂️ Thank you SO much for explaining this is such a clear & concise way. 🙏 (P.S. - Been a happy subscriber for the past few months - keep up the great work! 👍)
This is an AWESOME video for 98% of it! At 14m15sec you swerve the CB to demonstrate how tought it is to compensate aiming when elevated. My 2 cents: You DO NOT hit that shot hard at all, you are barely making it back to the rail you were hitting from, so my guess is 55% at most. What you need to understand is that AS LONG AS THERE IS BACKSPIN, there is no curve. You could make your point much better by hitting higher on your CB and it would barely curve, if any, by the time you hit the 1 rail. In short: YOU CAN AIM with side spin when elevating without compensating for swerve, as long as there is backspin remaining at contact! There could be a whole video about that, which has never been made yet from what I've seen... :) Thanks again for such great content!!!!
Great video, I love your instructions and demonstrations, big fan!!! The way I compensate that you did not mention is I almost never shoot at the center of the pocket. I just figure out which way the object ball will be thrown or spin off line and aim at the opposite “horn” of the pocket and the ball will automatically drift towards the center of the pocket. This drastically increases the margin of error giving you a much “wider” pocket to shoot at.
I have an OB2+ shaft. For harder shots with english, I use back hand english after aiming to the ghost ball. The back hand english cancels the deflection. At least it does for my stroke and my shaft
Respect brother been watching you years inn the madness of pool you always seem to help.Simlar job to my psychiatrist.😂 you help greatly when I hit the pool brick wall Respect.
Thank you for this. There are a ton of videos out there that explain what happens to the cue and object balls when you use sidespin but none that really go into how you aim or compensate when using sidespin, nor do they go into depth about the effect speed/power has. Hopefully I can remember this when I'm playing! One thing you didn't cover is FHE vs BHE and combinations thereof because both have different results. Perhaps another companion video to this one? :)
I just wondered around your channel, only playing online pool. Very well done! Also congratulations on the last shot! You need to trust yourself more apparently! :) the explanation of the physics helps so much to understand what i see. Normally it is too fast for me to comprehend, your explanation is very much appreciated! :)
Thanks
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it.
Thanks

I'd of been worried about the in off playing this shot at any speed or side so something new I've learned from the Pool master Sharivari 👏👍

Excellent points but it just highlights how much practice and talent are needed!
Wow the effects really allow you to visualize the shot! Thanks, these are getting so good.
That failed replay in black & white reminds me of those old school infomercial products, lol so great.

Amazing explanation. 💯💯
I was dealing with this problem for a while. Thanks to this video finally found so many answers!!!
Very well explained, one other factor you did not mention that affects spin is the condition or type of cloth👍
Excellent, best video I’ve seen at explaining all the throws and speeds. How much does a low deflection carbon stick reduce effect in harder shots?
How does a cue/stick cause more or less deflection? I didn't know that was a thing!
About 50% from my experience, comparing let's say a Falcon wood cue and a Carbon Cynergy
