How to Aim with Side Spin: A Simple Guide

[@Sharivari]

I've combined 21 of my favorite practice routines into one single training course. Each one is guided by a typical Sharivari video, where I show how to perform each exercise. Along with that I am sharing the knowledge I've gained over the years. The great news is, each exercise can be adjusted to your individual skill level, which means you have hundreds of different drills. Master each level and work your way up to a strong game.

I watched all of your side spin videos, and I didn't know that it could be this simple! Great explanation as always.

[@thadstuart8544]

Wonderful breakdown to the simple principles. Ive watched most of your vids about side spin and all the physics, but this "essential info" version really resonates with me. Thanks

[@Sharivari]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Sam-di8nm]

Now I understand the contradictions of some and others about the deflection, it all depends on the speed of the shot. Thank you so much

[@MrSegopa]

You are briefly clear about each tutorials & which makes it easier for Us people who are following you to understand You. You making things easier for Us out there to see your elaboration being easy achieved. Keep up the good work & God bless You for Us. Masta Leon from 🇿🇦

I love your videos. I have been playing in APA for years and I have always been afraid of using spin because it was never properly explained to me and it seemed scary. I started watching your videos a few months ago and have since been able to implement spin into my games and control my cue ball positioning after a shot. Thank you!

[@elius3252]

I cant wait to see the new video. I am going to the club today and i hope this video helps.

[@mrkkitson]

Excellent explanation!!

[@2005StangMan]

Thanks for this. I never realized it switched dependent on speed. Might be why I always seemed to miss slower shots!

[@Slycologia.]

Great job man. This video is a real game changer for beginners 💪🏻💪🏻

Your the best period! I have a pool stick question, I’m 71 and need one last new cue shaft. Is the j flowers shaft has low of deflextion as the predator revo shaft? Does the flowers shaft have that Tinny sound as the revo that sound I don’t like. I also could buy a cuetec cenergy shaft. I have never heard of the j flowers shaft before, just wondering if it’s another sales pitch maybe giving the. Stick for free to all the great teachers as yourself in order to advertise it. I cannot afford to buy a cue that is not the best. The best is what I want period. Thank you for all your great videos!! Stephen

[@MusicLover-rt4bs]

Most helpful. My brain wasn't getting it. This helped a lot. I think I got it.

[@tonicogsf]

Nice video, Schickling. I see you chose to leave out the Spin Induced Throw (probably to make it simple). Cheers!

[@dansass1353]

Nice video and well demonstrated, thank you for sharing! When hitting with side spin, do you prefer to parallel shift your cue to the side you are hitting or do you use a pivot system?

[@alexandrucosminvlad9338]

I recall seeing this in another of his videos, where pivoting with side spin (back-hand english?) is used mainly when distance is short, whereas parallel cue adjustment on side with side spin (front-hand english?) is used when the distance is longer. Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Sharivari]

@@dansass1353 I am doing a mix of both. You can watch this video. At the end of it I am explaining how I do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqu1loNrqd2XjJo

[@mrslynn2078]

Hi sharivari. I recently play alot of pool and really want to upgrade my pool skills. I am thinking of getting a cue, so do you have any suggestion what kind of cue should i get?

[@CosplayZine]

Great video. I think the reason you needed to aim more to the left using right spin was because sit throws to the right so that is like a douple wammy.

[@dwakeling38]

What do,you think of the “pivot point” method? (where you line up straight with a consistent bridge length for your cue, then pivot the aim) A video on that would be interesting. My own experience is that it breaks the alignment routine, to adjust after getting down on the shot.

[@Sharivari]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqu1loNrqd2XjJosi=ciNroq9qG9aYoKEh At the end of this video I am talking a bit about that.

[@trailerwookie]

Dr. Dave has some informative videos on finding your natural pivot point to allow you to use back hand english (BHE).

[@congtuaatoiongianla5753]

i love u bro. thank a lot !!!!

[@yousufalharasi7816]

Thank you

[@ericwolf5067]

I love your teaching style, Sharivari, but Dr. Dave’s FHE/BHE system is far easier to use across the speed/distance spectrum. BHE (pivot) for hard shots, FHE (parallel) for softer shots, and a mix of the two depending on the specific distance and speed required. The real beauty of this system is that it cancels out the need to change your aiming point. I use side-spin a lot (a good coach would say I over-use it), and after learning this system, I aim through the ghost ball on every shot, at any speed and distance… so it even cancels out spin-induced throw (SIT). I’m not going to link to this out of respect to Sharivari, but we are all students of the game, even the masters. :)

[@Sharivari]

Thank you for your comment! This video focuses on the physics and how the cue ball behaves. I use a natural approach, which is essentially a blend of BHE and FHE. For those interested in these methods, I have previously made a video on BHE/FHE. I appreciate your input and the ongoing learning we all engage in as students of the game.

[@robertlang4955]

I'm pretty decent on bank shots, but queball spin always gave problems. This video explains a lot why. I just need to adjust my speed better. 👍

[@salsabil44]

The hardest shot in pool for me, bar none. So many variables: how much side, deflection, strength of the shot, the distance, the cue, the cloth...

[@macktlo9]

To start, I would suggest practicing by keeping speed constant and changing distance. Don't try to remember all variables at once.

[@salsabil44]

@@macktlo9 I find it confusing that the aim needs to change completely based on the strength of the shot.

[@whitigir]

English can be easy or very complex

[@greggy284]

You might want mention how throw effects the shot as well. When the object ball is further from the pocket, this will have a greater effect on the ball. Especially with low deflection cues.

[@davidharrison8295]

Please explain this, I play pool, I’ve only ever seen this once but it brought a question as to how it happens, I was watching a game when a spotted cue ball bounced off a cushion and one of the spots stayed perfectly on top while still moving down the table, now if it’s spinning how does it roll at the same time?

[@JD-fx1np]

HOSS hard outside soft same but you state this differently. For the hard shots, you state left spin, aim left, but i was looking at it as left spin, aim right - as in aiming the onuect ball further to the right. Youre indicating aiming the cue ball further left. Interesting. I wonder which perception is better? For soft same, id aim the object ball further left for soft left spin, respectively.

[@jameshilger3091]

Get a Jacoby ultra shaft. Even shooting hard, I have to aim more into the object ball with spin.

[@james1795]

No

[@Jamesmark72]

Yes ​@@james1795

[@micha-42]

Without saying whether you put sidespin using back-hand, front-hand, or parallel english, and what are the head movements you do, I have no clue what you mean by "aiming in the same direction" or "a bit more to the right/left"…

[@tonicogsf]

BHE and FHE are just techniques to apply spin. Once you get used to it, you can just get down already in the intented line of shot, with the desired spin. It's better not having head movements at all.

[@micha-42]

@@tonicogsf they widely change what one would consider "applying sidespin and still aiming in the same direction". Without that point addressed, that concept is meaningless.

[@VirgilJohnson-gc6vd]

This is for beginners

[@james1795]

So?

[@scottytoohotty3461]

[@Sharivari]

[@RazaXML]

the gist of it is that there is no way to teach how to aim with side spin. it's boils down to experience and guesswork. the more experience you have the better the guess. too many factors to teach any specific method. you just gotta go do it until you know it. problem is most people don't have a solid enough foundation of what it takes to aim without side spin to even begin to understand what it takes to aim with it. without that experience you won't know what does what and it will just be guesswork and luck. you just gotta put in the hours (and i mean hours... 1000 hours of practice is a good start, but not nearly even close to enough)

[@naonao76]

[@whatsup5328]

Well done bravo

[@axl6667]

Und das ist leider auch die Schwierigkeit für Beginner. Es gibt nämlich kein System das dir sagt, wie viel Adjustment du brauchst. Kommt auch immer auf die Qualität des Stoßes an.
