I find that if you can not hit the thin cuts so fast due to position use a little inside English to achieve that slight overcut necessary if position allows.
Stepping back is a good idea in general. You want to walk into your shot no matter what system you use to aim. And stepping back and walking into the line allows you more margin on aim. This tip helped my wife with missing alot.
I like this concept. I approach every shot at my cue’s distance away from the cue ball before I walk into my stance. I use a 64” cue which gives me a little more distance as well. I find that I can see my references better at that distance, plus it trains my consistency for my pre shot routine.
Stepping back is always a good idea, on any shot. I don't usually aim these think cuts edge to edge and then make a shift, but I will start working on this. I can definitely see how this would really help with those extremely think cut shots.
I'm a fairly new player, and when cutting a very thin shot, I tend to miss hitting the object ball completely about 20% of the time. Even when redoing the shot several times. Lining up edge to edge has never occured to me. I cant wait to get to a table and try this!!
Just watched it again. I do that ALOT....U definitely hit the 3 ball the best of the three examples at the end of the segment. Great info! If I had the $$, Ide schedule a class immediately!!
It could be the camera angle, but it looks like he's adding a bit of outside spin on these cut shots. Makes sense, if he's adjusting his aim for spin induced throw as well, it means he could be marginally aiming for a slightly thicker cut and still get the same result.
Awesome Anthony! I'm going to give this a try, love the idea of changing the aiming perspective, would have never thought of it. Missed this exact shot a few weeks ago and it cost me $!
I'll keep my stick out in front of me when I step back to help with a visual line, and I'll walk that line in with the stick out there to keep it in sight.
Good advice on hitting those thin cuts with some speed, but sometimes position requires a softer shot. I overcut those to account for the throw, and / or add some outside english.

I saw another video on using outside english to spin the OB in where slow speed made it work better. Different deal I suppose so more power without using english eliminates cut induced throw as you said. Hmm.
Great video. I usually try to hit thin cut shots with some inside English unless I can’t due to running into another ball. It seems to help give it a little extra to pocket the ball. Does that seem unnecessary to you ?
Just watched this video again. When your lining up for the 75 angle. It looks like your shaft edge might be a little to the right of center. I know you use edge of shaft aiming. Just wondering even though your parallel, are you using the edge of your shaft to aim ? Thanks
To play and develop very well on Amercan sized pool table, get your child an English/Irish dimentioned pool table with smaller balls and pockets, and then later in life wherever they are in the world playing on American sized tables it will seem easy to them and they will win 90% of games.
How is that a 60 degree cut shot has the same aiming angle -- edge to edge -- as a 75 degree cut shot? There must be some adjustment to account for the different angles.
@@poolteacher Thanks. It just seems to me that if you move the cueball to increase the angle from, say, 60 to 75 degrees, you should be aiming at a different part of the object ball. Edge to edge would seem to be the same aim. What am I not getting?
This was my question as well. If the aim line is parallel to the line the edge of the cue ball makes with edge of the object ball then the ball would not cut both 60 and 75 and everything in between. Now it sounds like AB is saying you line up edge to edge as a guide but then judge to cut a little less thin if it’s on the 60 degree line vs the 75? I don’t think that was stated in the video but it has to work that way? Anyway great channel with great content!! I watch at least one video a day.
