Funny how I've figured out a couple of these the hard way instead of just coming here. Side spin doesn’t do much at all on steep angles. What I'm curious is how long does side spin keep spinning? Obviously a nice fast table or a strong shot will last longer.

[@PoolSchool]

Like you say, hard to say how much because it depends how much you put on and how hard you hit the ball. However out of all the spins, side spin lasts the longest. Screw back or back spin runs out the quickest because it is in the opposite direction to the ball and the friction with the cloth quickly conteracts the spin. Top spin also runs out fairly quickly because of friction but lasts longer than screw back. Because side spin is not really fighting against the cloth as much it lasts for much longer. It's not uncommon to see the cue ball still spinning sideways even after it has come to a stop. Side spin will still be having a small effect even after coming off several cushions.

Great video! What size is your table?

[@PoolSchool]

Thanks, it's 7ft by 4ft.

What size tips do people use for snooker I got a 9n5 is that alright

[@PoolSchool]

This is taken from the website of a reputable cue maker and I think is about right. I use a 9.5m tip for pool and have played snooker with it as well and works just fine. Most snooker players prefer a tip size between 9mm to 10mm with 9.5mm being the most popular. English pool players tend to use a smaller tip between 7mm to 9.5mm mainly due to smaller lighter cue ball. American pool is between 11mm to 13mm.

i got a dumb question: i try to hit the cushion head on like u did with side. i was told, same amount of side creates the same angle off cushion no matter u hit centre or top. But with the same speed, center-right always bounce off cushion at a widen angle than TOP-RIGHT. whats wrong here? is it cuz the table?

[@PoolSchool]

There’s two things happening. Top or bottom side will never have as much side as center side. You are just too hitting the ball as wide as you can in the middle. The second thing is that top spin and screw back do have an effect on the angle out of the cushion. So yes, top right would give quite a different angle to center-right.

I was practicing playing side off the cushions today, it's the only part of my game I really need to work on but I can't see myself using it often.

Hi good video

[@fun_game4084]

Can you make Indonesia subtitle?

[@PoolSchool]

I could use Google translate but I'm not sure how accurate the translation would be? I will also turn on public translations which allows viewers to submit their own translations, hopefully someone who speaks Indonesian and English could do a better job that I could!

[@fun_game4084]

@@PoolSchool ok thank u my friend
