Hi, Loe the vids and explanations. However, can you make a video about cues? Thank you!

[@Sharivari]

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!

Thank you so much!

[@sventiger55]

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 😊

[@Sharivari]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@philc4661]

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!

[@joshh7332]

Same here.

[@trustydoom4468]

It's always a pleasure watching you. I share your videos with my 8&9ball teams all the time in reference to shots made or missed in matches.

[@Sharivari]

Thank you so much! I hope it actually helps your team to improve :)

[@YayComity]

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.

[@HillbillyIslandLife]

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

[@robsolo7767]

Finally! This tool is going in the box.

[@chrismechanic6164]

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.

[@coreywen6546]

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.

[@salapolivalenta77]

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!

[@jeffcarlson3033]

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.

[@Sharivari]

I am glad I could help with this video. Thank you so much!

[@M00k410]

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

[@iandevaz2604]

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!!

[@j.t.3798]

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.

[@HowardN-v8k]

I especially love the camera point of view from the shooter's position. Excellent tutorials!

[@gilbertoquinto3043]

Very well explained,keep up the good teaching in pool Sharivari🙏🙏🙏

[@gaoutdooradventures]

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 👍)

[@royng6370]

Wow thanks this is the theory I am waiting for pool explained in one video. Thanks for the tips great job.

[@JeanneEdelman-gr5ox]

I have been having a really tough time figuring out how to change my aim using side spin. This video was SPOT ON. Thanks Sharivari!!!!!

[@fixitrod4969]

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.

[@Sharivari]

Will do soon!

[@fixitrod4969]

@@Sharivari thank you!

[@Tabor_Truth]

Always move back hand to cancel deflection

[@kikimomikuto6689]

@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.

[@iitruevibeii]

Earl Strickland vouches this in his videos where he commentated matches. He says it all the time when it comes to pocketing balls.

[@alexxven]

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...

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?

[@pioneert90]

How does a cue/stick cause more or less deflection? I didn't know that was a thing!

[@vincentbeaurivage]

About 50% from my experience, comparing let's say a Falcon wood cue and a Carbon Cynergy

[@johnholmstrom4212]

@@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]

@@johnholmstrom4212 cheers bud, all new to me 👍

[@fixitrod4969]

@@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.

[@johnholmstrom4212]

Great video with tons of info covering many types of spin! Thanks a lot!

[@henryiglesias8600]

Very informative video and well explained. Even a novice will understand how to aim with side spin.

[@Luisodel76]

I was dealing with this problem for a while. Thanks to this video finally found so many answers!!!

[@josheisert8380]

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

[@brianb.2894]

Very well done Shariva👍👍ri. Thank you.

[@smalltownbilliards3017]

Awesome video! I Have learned so much from your videos and am very grateful that you take the time to produce them in detail.

[@randylauffer1820]

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.

[@petersalinas8350]

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! 👍)

[@richardholmes4764]

You make this stuff understandable and memorable -- big thanks!

[@Alton-x]

Very well explained, one other factor you did not mention that affects spin is the condition or type of cloth👍

[@junal1643]

You really explain well. Great video.

[@scottp3841]

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

[@Qurantranslationtafseer]

The best knowledge. Thank u so much for so much hard work u put in pool.

[@JoeDubs432]

Really great video explaining these physics! Can you do a video on spin transfer(not spin induced throw) but how hitting left on the cue ball makes the object ball rotate right... maybe talk about hitting 2frozen balls with left “gears” the balls

[@walidhossain9860]

Improved my skills by seeing your video . Your explanation is great

[@jeffreystricko7656]

Great video, because sometimes i forget to adjust while playing and wonder why I missed the shot.

[@hewgoba]

Thank you for making this great video !!

[@bleearg13]

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? :)

[@Sharivari]

Yes, that video will definetly come :)

[@Sharivari]

[@chasebenson05]

Amazing video it really helped me to learn how spin works I never quite understood it😂

[@fishblade2]

A few questions on this video: 1.) Have you learned to come into your shot with the spin already applied and aiming properly? I find this very hard to do since using my shaft some for aiming it looks very off when off center and it also lends to me having to make a lot of micro adjustments. 2.) What is the normal amount of side spin you use? I find that a tip at most usually will do what you need and makes it easier, but I was just wondering. 3.) Lastly how did you learn to get a straight stroke. After a year of practicing and trying to step into my shot I still put a little bit of side spin on every other shot.

[@TrickshotTimeHeiko]

Das sind sehr wertvolle Tipps, super erklärt und wie immer perfekt präsentiert 👍👍

[@vincentbeaurivage]

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!!!!

[@lorrymarthias9446]

I can tell you this is a such an undertated channel.. thank you for creating a very informative content.. keep it going.. subscribed to you channel.. Quick question about stroke. often times, when i shoot, i know right away that i wont make the ball just when the tip of my cue hitting the cue ball due to stroke errors. do you have any tips on perfecting stroke or at least have more constant stroke? any drill that is good for that? i had lots of chance to clear the table, but then the stroke error comes on the ball that is not that hard to pot.. 🤦‍♂ Hope i can have your answer on this.. Cheers and Love from Indonesia..

[@tiggahrocking420]

This is indeed a very informative video. I can only agree with Sharivari, regarding the "Important side notes"-Part. Once you've managed to use any aiming system with a bit of success, with further practice you'll notice that you're starting to "feel" the shots more and more, instead of having to kind of "calculate" each shot. Congratulations on that difficult, yet nicely potted, "Swerve-Shot". 🥳💪 Will there be any Real-Life-Events featuring you, in the future? Would be great to participate in a tournament and meet, or maybe even challenge, Sharivari at the table. 😉✌️
