Which discovery was your biggest game changer when it comes to playing with side spin? ⬇

[@supitsthugnasty]

That sometimes you only need 1/2 to a whole tip of side to achieve what you need!

[@BROU-bb2uc]

I call it gear effect.

[@modernafsolutions3233]

This video tbh

[@no.7893]

realising that the table I play on plays way too slow to use spin 😭

[@JerryLee..]

The combination of speed, spin, aim is the magic . . . Which is what I don't have. 😢

[@oishh]

7 mins in, already my fav vid. The easy to understand explanations, the camera angles, the editing. Everything is just made to perfection! Thank you for this❤

[@EdgarXPlay]

Ive been suffering from deflection for a while and i couldnt find a proper video to show how to do side spin properly.... until i found this video! Now I understand!! FINALLY!! :) Thank you !

[@MK-zm8vl]

The quality of these videos is amazing, both in content and delivery, well done!

[@coljoe0892]

I’m still a novice pool player, but this is soooo helpful. Appreciate you and the way you make your videos.

[@bjarkenielsen8515]

As a beginner, Stay with center Ball, center High and center low until you can runout a game (8,9 or 10 ball) It will teach you to play the table using natural angles, to identify pocket lines and play position for the next ball. These are the most important parts of the game. It is not until you have reached a level where you have run out a game, that it might be time to include spin and safety play. 😊

[@tomaszsosnowski9279]

@@bjarkenielsen8515 this comment should be pinned. Master center ball first. Runout racks using the fundamentals.

[@stevemarion9591]

You know what’s great about your lesson you get right to the point! I mean in 5 minutes of this video I learn more about what the cue ball and object ball are doing. Dr Dave is no teacher he milks everything but I guess that’s what you have to do when your selling videos, milk everything and say nothing. Hands down you are the very BEST!

[@Xottle12]

A little too long, but, excellent explanation and instruction of CIT, cue deflection and the dynamics of speed. One of the best videos about side spin. Thank you.

[@salapolivalenta77]

This is a combination of very good old videos put together for a better understanding. I already saw them all many times and every time I scratch my head, I find this sport extremely difficult. This channel is one the best, thank again for everything!

[@pakalak3]

I've been watching you a while and you have really gotten your groove goin with how you edit these. Thank you for this you are great.

[@midramble6528]

This is, by far, the most informative billiard video I've ever seen

[@markdahl8082]

I agree. Just the information I've been looking for for years. Now to understand all of it....

[@alyssademaio7978]

Seeing these visuals are SO helpful! Makes it so much easier to picture in my head when I'm taking the shot.

[@DavidDiaz-jt2km]

You're an excellent teacher. Loved the video. Thank you.

[@JerryLee..]

Amazing video work and summary of all the basic "secrets". This video is the encyclopedia summary of everything most need. #Powerful Thank you! 👏🏽

[@darrelcele4598]

I must say I've been watching this video for the past two weeks in a row and everytime i learn something new so i must say your a very good teacher even when im not physically with you and i have improved my game extremely so thank you for your time and content, and much love from S.A.

[@masonoutdoors6796]

Watching this video really improved my game, thanks so much!

[@srw6046]

Watched a lot of your videos. This is one of the best produced ones I have seen, well done! (Content is great too)

[@trailerwookie]

Nice information about back hand English and bridge length based on the cue deflection. Dr. Dave has a really nice video showing a simple way to figure out the exact sweet spot for the BHE bridge on your own cue.

[@stupidgus123]

Thank you so much man! omg I'm gonna have to watch this video lots and lots and LOTS of times and really study it!

[@gpcivil8807]

Awesome explanation and graphics!

[@whitigir]

Love your instructions! Exactly everything I have been seeking for

[@AndrewT]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great stuff.

[@myworldofsand]

Thanks for this comprehensive video!

[@5taycool]

Just want to say that your channel is absolute treasure... thank you for that!

[@old-man-learning-pool]

As usual, a fantastic and very helpful video. You are the best in regards explaining, teaching and presenting. Keep it up. Sunny greetings from Greece 😎👍

[@morpheus2480]

This is a great video with visuals. Very obvious how much effort went into it.

[@michaelmorales7443]

Great video. Your getting really good at instructional videos. Keep this up you will be number one at online coaching. 👍

[@DjDupree]

The graphics were as amazing as the advice. Thanks.

[@gnakashi]

This has got to be not only my favorite @Sharivari video, but favorite pool video tutorial I have ever KZbin!!! Keep up the great work @Sharivari!!!

[@Sharivari]

Thank you so much!

[@maurersascha6236]

Danke! Deine Videos sind so gut!!! Lieber Grüße Sascha

[@Sharivari]

Freut mich dass die Videos helfen!

[@kevinsandoval3890]

Man. Really cool video Love all the lines and animations. Keep it up!

[@genezechin9809]

Thanks for your explanationation!

[@jcquil9577]

Master class. Thank you.

[@Nunak91]

Fantastic video!

[@rudyrequena3604]

Best video I ever seen about put English on the ball ! This video help me a lot , thank you 👍💯

[@Sharivari]

Happy to hear that!

[@Reon_Govender]

Best video on spin that I've seen incl. Dr Dave's channel. Very, very well explained

[@comengkomengck]

This is what i need . A free private lesson for pool . Thankyou so much

[@Sharivari]

You're very welcome!

[@JeanneEdelman-gr5ox]

So much to remember 😂 I also follow Lil Chris and he discusses FHE vs. BHE, and he doesn't know why it works the way it works. This video complements his because i now understand why there is a difference between the two types of English. I think the key here is just practicing these individual shots over and over to get the feel and not focus so much on mathematics and physics. That's making my head spin more than any cue ball could.

[@zanebeasley6246]

Excellent advice thank you for your.

[@sultan6353]

thank you sharivari great video will done 🌹🌹🌹

[@andrewvondinklage]

Really appreciate this video. I have been using side spin more and more and this video explains all the variables involved perfectly. Thank you too for the extra time to taken to include go-pro footage and ghost ball graphics - it makes a huge difference in simplifying a fairly complicated technique!

[@williamchueh1399]

the most useful vid ever thx

[@MegaLifeChanging]

Great video!

[@Marc-uw4lw]

OMG, I’ve been playing well for over a year now and I’ve just realised that I misunderstood your explanation and I’ve been playing with my inside vs outside spin logic all backwards! No idea how I’ve managed to make extreme cut shots with the opposite spin that I needed.

[@diegodavidist]

QUE BUEN VIDEO!!! 👌👏👏 ERES UN GENIO SHARIVARI!! 👌👏 GRACIAS POR ENSEÑARNOS MAESTRO!! ME ENCANTA ESTE TIPO DE VIDEOS LARGOS Y BIEN EXPLICADO TODO!! ERES UN IDOLO!!! 😊😊👌❤️🎱🎱

[@RefrigeratedTP]

I just started playing pool again after about 15 years. Had a table, then I didn't. This video made me understand why my feel felt the way it did back when I played every single day. I didn't know why, but it worked. I can't do it anymore lol.

[@michaelpapenfus260]

Great tutorial. So much information to digest. In a future video can you talk about cue tip types and maintenace. I am very interested in how different tips types may help with using spin in your game or whether it doesn't matter that much or is just a reflection of personal preference and how the hit feels. thanks again.

[@LCiONE088]

Top demais Aula 👏👏👏🤠

[@Luminel0_0l]

Thanks a lot for this video it's really what i was looking for ❤❤ Spin really is confusing to play around.. well gotta go practice

[@RichardsWorld]

Lots and lots of hard work to make this video 👍👍

[@webber2000]

Great stuff Mate!

[@leszekradwanski5952]

Very very very gooooood material. Thanks a lot!

[@grzywaxd]

Thanks man! I'm a complete amateur, last time I played was probably before covid. Today I am going to play a tournament with my group of friends and I am glad I found this video. It is actually really well explained and I'm shoked that people find it confusing. It is basic physics really basicly explained - which is good because it is easy to understand. Cheers!

[@Sharivari]

Glad to help, and good luck!

[@SlateBilliardClub]

This is incredible! Nice work💪🧠💪

[@Sharivari]

Thanks!

[@allgood6760]

Nice.. it puts things into perspective 👍🎱🇳🇿

[@James-ip5gz]

Excellent video 👌

[@simon_faucher]

very instructive

[@maurersascha6236]

Danke!

[@Sharivari]

Danke dir!

[@MrPDx]

bruhhhh, your theory is really worked, I watched your video ytd, and today I followed only 1 theory shot in practical, I littery able to pot almost 6 balls in row 🔥

[@Sharivari]

That's awesome - glad I could help!

[@shader26]

I’m about 1/3 of the way through the video and enjoying it very much, but a couple of things. Not just this video but many intense ones I’ve seen now make me wonder how I ever managed to play decent pool (now I see I was not that good but I won a lot of games, playing bar patrons so it doesn’t really count) and make shots with all the variables. Also thinking that there are so many options, it’s mind boggling. For others like me, I see that after learning more about billiards, for a while my game has gone downhill, with he occasional great shot with cue ball position after, but the more one practices the new techniques, it gets better. Seems like my newfound knowledge makes me miss shots (just slightly) that I would have made not trying English, but then comes a feel and suddenly it works. In the meantime my control of the cue ball after shots also is going in the right direction, but most often too much and other times too little.

[@xeyedsurfer]

If you are playing shots you know you will make them but improve very slowly but if you are experimenting, misses happen frequently. In the end you will become a better player much faster. Learn from every shot you make OR miss.

[@gilvansilva3671]

😮 Amazing

[@jonnycarroll6676]

Thank you very much, kemosabi.

[@andrewhawkinson3410]

i didn't win any of my eight ball matches but i did nearly run the table in my first game of the second match. it was worth it making the opponent a little bit terrified. ;)

[@matthewlincoln6682]

To adjust for deflection just pivot the cue for the spin. Don't go down on a shot with the spin because you are lined up for the deflected angle. If you pivot you move off the angle like you showed. Much easier to adjust.

[@andreasspanias3696]

Can you do a video on how to fix Eye and Head alignment. This has been a big problem for me and alot of other people I have talked to. Alot of times when I get down on a shot I feel like my eyes see the cue kinda like its bending or tilted. Maybe it has something to do with the dominant eye or that I cannot perfectly get my head to be straight on the cue as sometimes my head is slightly tilted and i dont know how to fix that. All of that makes my aim perception akward and I am uncertain if i am shooting straight. Thanku for hearing me out and keep the videos up🎉

[@Sharivari]

Check this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5bUh2tset2Nmbcsi=8kOj614nbTNlXDzr

[@kushtrim1590]

Great video. I am interested on a ignite shaft.do u have to compensate much for the aiming?? I have played always with predator 314 2. Thanks

[@SadewA-wu4bj]

sangat membntu

[@massadhib]

I wanna ask something and I hope you answer this one, sometimes I'm confused about which method I should pick, BHE & FHE, or just shoot it straight and adjust for deflection?

[@lafaelerobertson2573]

Very good

[@hkarim9855]

Very nice

[@iyerjeremy26]

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to adjust the pivot point of the ideal bridge length when using BHE.

[@LuisRivera-wk9mq]

That’s great information,however when you speak of inside and outside spin what do you mean?

[@alexs.2592]

Maybe the best video on the subject of spin and deflection. really well explained! which cue with which shaft do you use?

[@Sharivari]

Glad it was helpful! I am currently using the Mezz Ignite shaft.

[@johnholmstrom4212]

50 min video? Wtf? lol amazing

[@weldabar]

This was some heavy knowledge that will take repeated watching and practice for me to understand. This is really good knowledge, and your presentation was flawless. Question: how many milligrams of my favorite pain killer do I need to take in order to compensate for the headache caused by trying to understand this? ;)

[@clee1243]

such a perfect video, all the times of me missing my shots are finally making sense lol

[@Sharivari]

You got this!

[@kasperikrohns6955]

good vid

[@glockasauruswrex6362]

so, with the deflection increasing with more velocity...you make a really good argument for using table speed. Besides controlling the cue ball better. I have to constantly be on guard against over hitting my shots. Too many sports played where we murder the ball with the stick I guess...hehehe

[@zenqra]

Of course table speed is always preferred IMO, but sometimes you need more speed to get to the next shot.

[@rareeeeee]

Top 🤝

[@montana2243]

mega Video, jetzt noch bitte das wichtigste auf deutsch wäre ein Traum.

[@xfrenz93x]

Great video! Can I ask when aiming with side spin, after we compensate for everything, where is the aiming line pointing to on the ghost ball? E.g., with right spin, does the tip point from the right side of the cue ball to the center of the ghost ball, or to the right side of the ghost ball? Thanks!

[@Sharivari]

That's difficult to explain. I think I should cover this in a video. The short answer: I don't use a ghostball that I am aiming to, but a ghostball that tells where the cue ball should arrive at the object ball.

[@xfrenz93x]

Awesome looking forward to it!

[@walidhossain9860]

I have a question? If the object ball is at left pocket so we have to right spin and vise versa right ?

[@user-wo9vh6uk6p]

O meu muito obrigado pela forma que ensina as tecnicas para fazer uma prefeita aprendizagem de jogar Billiard, Snook,Pool, jogar com 21/ 15/8/ 9)/ 10. bolas, Felicidades. saúde e Sorte.

[@luckygemakasa4383]

👍👍👍

[@jamesfrierson2832]

Do you have dvds with your pool instruction

[@Faltzerbeast90]

I just need to know positioning so this should help

[@beflat3304]

Hi , can u do the same video with a snooker cue on a snooker table and explain how it can work ?

[@Sharivari]

Same principle.

[@kotiadam]

Shut up, and Take my Money! Thanks Sharivari!

[@Sharivari]

Haha 😂 thanks man!

[@nandagopalr4567]

Just curious.. is this the same for a snooker table with good cloth,1g aramith balls and shaved nap?

[@Sharivari]

Yes

[@rickmasterson1269]

Explain why you would need side(outside/inside) spin in certain situations, if not needed hit center/follow/stun...

[@kiksperez]

In a high speed shot with a little right side spin, does the cue ball travel in a curve or is the deflection a straight line to the left?

[@Sharivari]

No curve, just deflection.

[@andrewhawkinson3410]

not watching this at the right time. need to finish it tomorrow when i have league in the evening :P

[@cristianb1710]

What shaft size are you using?

[@stevemarion9591]

Are you using a full tip or a 1/2 tip

[@blinertasholli1280]

this is hard. 😂 Can you explain at what point in the learing curve does this fit in? it feels like this is one of the last things to perfect, so could you give an example of a drill that if you get right 8 out of 10 round than it makes sense moving into learning spinn play? Cause i feel like geting into this to early may be contraproductive.

[@Sharivari]

I think learning spin from a early stage is an important part of your journey.

[@zaffersoni]

My head is spinning 😀

[@Sharivari]

😂

[@blackgoku4658]

On the deflection topic you are right the way you use English, but I only use back hand English and this doesn’t apply to me.

[@siyabongavarasha8255]

Im potting them better with check side.

[@takingbackfebruary1458]

So confusing ahhh

[@Ufunny20]

Fr

[@theZDOME]

Been playing for years and still spin can baffle me

[@imapolemicist2239]

Just play the shots over and over and over again... It starts making sense.

[@ajiihsan297]

Buy table 😢

[@stevemarion9591]

It’s a lot easier for your students to have the camera behind you when saying right spin and left spin. Sometimes I have to stop and picture in my mind what your saying, because everything thing is backwards. Thanks

[@Sharivari]

I am going to use the GoPro again in the next lesson.

[@axl6667]

Ich glaube erst, dass du Tactical Ops gespielt hast, wenn du es hier bestätigst ;)

[@Sharivari]

Hahaha, ja das war ich 😄
