The thing that has helped me the most with my side spin was your video about aiming with the sides of your shaft. I now use between 3/4 aiming systems on every shot. The last of which is the side of shaft aiming. It's crazy how that works.
So just to be clear as you made comments that you were a bit off. Are you using backhand English and following on that line or are you suggesting to line you cue up straight at the point of contact (basically no backhand)?
I don’t use backhand English. When cueing with English, my cue is parallel to where my cue would be if I were shooting a stop shot. On the example shots, the angle of the camera makes that hard to see (sorry, I’m my own cameraman) but that’s how I personally line up.
5:52 this font is way too small. I had to go in landscape view and then increase the video resolution (I default to a lower resolution because high res videos sometimes don't play as smoothly) just to read it.
It depends on the shot but with a consistent and straight stroke, you don’t need to adjust much at all if you’re using a low Deflection shaft. With this Cuetec, I’m not adjusting much at all.
