I felt so cool when I learned these. Then I played people who knew how to position it perfectly for their next shots. I realized I was only beginning to understand. I never mastered it, but learning how to play pool was actually great for building confidence. You could be pretty shy, but if you're running the table, you're going to get noticed.

That’s me with chess. I learned some tips and moves and didn’t even realize how little I’m actually setting up progress.

My father bought the family a legit pro pool table for my ninth birthday. I felt like I got screwed...it was NOT what I wanted. Dad taught me how to play and it was really cool to bond with him over that table and a mutual appreciation of the sport. By the time I was 14, I was playing in pool halls around Cincinnati for a dollar a ball. Bought my own custom cue for my sixteenth birthday. After I got my first car, I was traveling the tri-state and making fat stacks. Good times. Thanks dad...I'll see you upstairs. Rack 'em.

[@randomlygeneratedname7171]

@@franscofate3270 Pretty sure it is rigged back spin sometimes follows somehow

[@otsdarvafoxxfyre]

@@randomlygeneratedname7171 if you hit it too far away the back spin basically gets eliminated while the ball is moving across the table. Cross-table shots usually have enough time for the balls spin to slow enough, it starts to roll in the normal direction and just behaves like a normal shot. If I do put back spin English on a shot, I usually offset it slightly off center so it's less likely to just follow the other ball into the hole. And topspin English is never used on straight on shots bc the cue will just follow the ball, but it's useful for a combo shot off of another ball so the cue rolls clear of the others

Pool is fun in theory. In practice it's impossible to find a table that's level, let alone pool cues that haven't been abused. None of these techniques actually work on the tables that amateurs have access to. Makes me wonder how people enter the hobby at all.

Veteran pool player here. This is essential in being a good pool player. Word of advice to people that want to try this. You will fail miserably without the right tip on the cue. If you want to practice I would suggest spending $50-$75 on your own pool cue and going to a pool hall. Bar pool cues are often heavily worn. Also make sure to chalk your tip after every hit.

Always remember the linear momentum gets transferred but the rolling/angular momentum doesn't. So which ever direction the ball is rolling it would stop for a moment transfer it linear motion to the other ball but then starts rolling in the direction of the spin.

@J Zim it helped me. Everyone might not be as athletically or spatially inclined as you. It has a line up the middle too to help you shoot straighter. It pays for itself. I use it on empty tables and don't have to pay for the table time. 😉

[@Silkravage]

@J Zim okay...

[@ryanwilloughby453]

@J Zim no, you're completley wrong. This ball can teach a beginner the miscue limit, how much bottom is needed for a stun shot, how left or right English throws the object ball, etc. This is also a great training tool to practice hitting center ball. You hit it, see where you left your chalk mark, and bam, instant feedback. Just be ause you can knock a few balls around with your drunk buddies doesn't mean you're the almighty pool God. You probably count beat me even if I played one handed.

Watch snooker. Great way to learn your way around a table. Okay there's more balls and the rules are different. But you'll get my point if you watch videos like the best shots in snooker.
