Pool Lesson | When To Use Spin And Draw 

A few people already made me aware that the angles aren't correct. 30° angle is actually a 150° angle, 50° angle is actually a 130° angle and 70° angle is actually 110°. Thanks for the hint, obviously I was a little negligent when I was making the graphics. Sorry for that mistake guys :)

The carefully crafted graphics you’ve put together to support your (clear) descriptions of all the variations available for a single shot are the best I’ve seen. Others in the series are excellent as well.

I love the animation at 6:58, very clearly shows how to consider adjusting for the different angles.

One of the best pool videos I've ever seen. Thank you! Please do a similar one for inside spin.

I agree with the comments by others that your use of graphics was extremely helpful. Another popular pool tutorial site relies on just a lot of talking with poor camera angles and minimal use of any supporting graphics. As a result, learning from that site is inhibited. While you’re running monologue was extensive, it was also directed to the point being made without a lot of excess banter, Again unlike the other site I’ve mentioned. Keep up the good work.

The best theoretical analysis of one of the most common positioning shots. Really takes some deep understanding as well as hands-on practice for you to make such clear illustrations. Please keep it up, Sharivari!

The combination of the illustrations and playback, especially the fact that you show the cue ball and the contact points are excellent. This is the way I learn, not just from being told, but from having a clear picture in my mind from all aspects. Thanks so much.. !!

Thanks so much! Been playing for 40 years and it just changed my game too. That side pocket has always been my nemesis. Your explanation makes perfect sense. Well done! Some other players are now in big trouble!

This is gold! I play a lot of 8 ball, and any time I can use less speed and have more control helps. This channel has quickly become my favorite source of instruction. Thank you. And this was not too much info. Best video yet! Thanks again

This video changed my game to the point that i became able to win against the best player in the house,very powerful, thank you Sharavie...

This like many other videos I've seen from Sharivari is top notch pocket billiard instruction. Not only is everything he covers in this video true, but also the video production shows where to hit the cue ball based on it's location in relation to the object ball and we can see the cue ball move and as it moves we can see how the side spin changes. Simply put, this is a damn good video for those who are interested in improving.

3 months of playing pool finally mastered the degree angles and it made me better i even skip days now without playing and still cum back not missin.

Excellent stuff as always The 9 being off the rail allows the cue ball spin to take. If the 9 was frozen or just a hair off the rail, it changes the shot. Also you can overhit the ball no matter how much spin you put on it which will prevent the cue ball English to perform like you want it to. Speed is huge on these shots.

As soon as i Watch your video i subbed to your channel. You're doing a great work. Best pool tutorial videos on Internet

I have to say this is the best pool training video ever man. Explains absolutely everything about the shot the easy way and lot of people can actually understand the physics behind it. Great job on these videos man and great graphics too. Keep it up

It's funny that years ago i struggled with this exact shot.. weather to use low right or just right on that shot. Couldn't find the answer anywhere and had to figure it out myself. You up and comers have a big advantage these days with RU-vid, you can take years off your game by watching videos instead of just figuring it out, or being lucky enough to have someone who would share that info with you. Back in the day, top players kept that kinda thing secret lol. Thank this man for helping you, this is the kinda information that will really help your game. In the end it's so much easier to just use left or right rather than using draw, you can hit the ball slower which improves the likelyhood of making the ball.

hands down the best instructional video I've ever seen you rock!

While all of your videos are exceptional, I believe this one and your Cue ball Physics/Learn to control the Cue ball are very important for those that truly want to improve their game by understanding why and how the cue ball ends up where it does. Great work! Thank you!

Good insights. With this common shot, I think most pool players go through the struggle of deciding how much low vs how much right. I always judge it by feel, so it’s good to see how others approach this.

Very clear and helpful. I'm planning to use this to improve 8ball pool on my phone. Thanks

One of if not the best pool instruction channels out there.

Sharivari ... Mate every time I watch one of your videos I learn stuff that I haven't even thought of. The thing I like the most about you my friend and your videos are, that you speak in layman's terms it's just so easy to understand the complexity of the subject that you are discussing. I tip my hat to you Sharivari you do an amazing job keep up the great work and I know your doing something right as it is 4 years later and you are still producing videos cheers Brenden Your Aussie Fan.

Thanks. Even not describing throw. It finally makes sense to me what is happening to the object ball when struck with english. Time to go to the pool table and practice. Thanks again. .

Very clear and accurate demonstration. Good job. Liked and subbed.

Very good presentation. I really like the way you break down the components , and explain and illustrate the process you are speaking of . Thank you much .

I've always thought i had to put bottom right spin on cue ball to bring down the table and hit with pace,, but this video clearly shows I've played the shot wrong for many years. Thank you for showing the correct way to play this shot 👍

Great video. I’ve stated using more spin and it had increased my cut shot positioning

every video i am watching is getting more and more exciting!!!!

I appreciate the great video. Your explanations are clear and concise and your synopsis at the end did a lot to stop me from feeling overwhelmed with information. You're a great teacher and your videos have done a lot to help me learn and fall in love with the sport!

I was told that this shot is actually a stop or stun shot with spin. If you shoot it with this in mind it's easier to see the tangent line vs a draw off of the object ball. Great video! Now back to the pool table. :)

Another excellent video, thanks a lot for sharing! Your instruction is clear, concise, and very easy to understand.

What a great video! I am an intermediate player and this concept has always confused me. You have explained it perfectly. Thanks so much. The one element to this that you could have added is the distance of the object ball from the rail. The closer it is to the rail, the less influence any draw on the cue ball will have.

Fantastic video Sharivari! This has been hugely helpful as the examples were so clear

Great instruction keep it up I literally devour your videos, thanks

Very enlightening! I had been asking myself exactly this question lately about when exactly to use low vs side on an angled cut shot

Thanks, I've found your video to explain where to hit the white ball. Cheers PJ

These are such excellent training videos! Between Sharivari and Barry Stark, they can turn a person into a polished pool player... with some snooker thrown in to boot!

Your videos are very easy to understand and are helping me become a better pool player keep up the good work and your English is getting better every video, PEACE

Excellent video - I had a feeling high/low were less consistent than regular left/right but did not "realize" fully until this video. Also, the more severe the cut, the less the left/right will throw the object ball. This is a must-practice drill. Thanks for doing this video.

This info translated immediately right into my game! Best instructional videos out there!

I really enjoy your videos and breakdowns. You have helped my game tremendously. Thank You for taking the time you do to explain the details on many levels. keep up the great work man!

A first rate video. The video parts are excellent. Very well done and very informative. Thanks a lot.

Wow, incredible video. I love the detail you go into explaining this concept, and the visuals you use are invaluable to the teaching process. Not all pool videos show you exactly where you need to place the cue on the white ball when shooting, or explain how the change in english effects the path of the cue ball as well as the object ball, so thank you for explaining it so well. Yes, please make another video going into more detail about spin and throw. You can never go into too much detail in a video or make too many videos on this subject. That just gives me a reason to watch it again and again, LOL 😂. Also, a video on more banking techniques and how throw/spin will effect your banking or kicking at balls would be GREAT! I'd love to hear you to make a video just explaining more about exactly how the balls act like gears. That if one ball spins one way the other will spin the opposite direction. Also how the spin on the balls react when hitting a rail. Plus I rarely hear anyone talk about how chalk, dirt, oil, or water effect the balls, table, etc... Could you please make a video going into these things in detail (the way you always do😁) Thanks! Dee😊👍

This REALLY connected allot of dots. Great description, without confusing amateur folks like me. Thanks for sharing. Btw, your technical angles were correct from the view side anyway. Don't care about angle degree "numbers" anyway. I'd rather play the table (diamond/pockets) INSTEAD of doing math. GREAT POST!!!

Instinctively I knew what you covered in this video but I didn't know exactly why. Now I know. Thank you Sharivari.

Thank you for all your help u truly help me learn more about different aspects of pool n thanks for the demonstration n the angles just everything you do thank you

That variation of the cue ball is perfect

This is a good video. However, it is important to recognize that the reaction of the cue ball with side spin off the cushions varies tremendously from table to table. Side spin may also react very differently with a new cloth where the ball is skidding off the cushions. On an unfamiliar table, it may be better to use draw more often because the direction of the cue ball is more predictable. It is often a trade off between easier speed control and more predictable cue ball direction.

Good knowledge of different angles to know how much spin or and high or low strike on object ball.

As an avid player who went from a weak A player to a weak B player I do appreciate the info because there is an abundance of squirt on the cue ball and object ball I have struggles with on the simonis cloth so I appreciate any help I can get thanks and I will look at your other videos

This video, omg !!! This is the video that upgrade my game by 40%, I'm more competitive thanks to this video. This help me a lot.

Top notch break down tutorial. Thank you Sharivari, keep up the amazing work on and off the pool table. Amazing editing skills👌🏽

Thank You ! This is a great video and explanation! I love how you take the time to explain what is simple to the experts but not to beginners, Easy to understand ! I highly appreciate all the time you out into your videos!!

Really enjoyed your video, very well explained and demonstrated. For me the biggest problem with using so much side would be the uncertainty of how much the path of the cue ball will be distorted by the side and feeling confident of consistently making the pot. For this reason I would normally prefer bottom with a dab of right, when possible. But I will be practising your shot first chance I get.

Great video! I love your detailed approach in explaining the variables of this shot. It makes it that much easier to understand. Now there's just executing this on the pool table, I only wish that was as easy, lol. Ty!!!

well done, looking forward to your thoughts regarding throw...

Great teacher. Pleasure to watch your videos.

Great video, thank you so much. I'm just getting started with left and right. Would be great if you did a beginners guide on how to apply spin - my biggest issue is lining up accurately. Seems I'm usually guessing, so would like to know your technique for setting up a successful spin shot.

I like the way you explain things clearly.

I was a little confused in this lesson maybe because I’m watching this before bed, so I’m tired.. I need to see more of this maybe I’ll understand better. Great lesson as usual Sharivari!

Very helpful and great channel.please make a video on throw and drag shots and when and why do we use them.

I'm guilty. I constantly use low. even when I need a maximum amount of spin. The simple explanation of way more spin, the higher you go on the ball, probably is going to help my game. Thank you.

I always seem to have less control when using bottom right to bring the ball back up table. I have used Side spin to get throw on the ball but never really thought about using it to have better control for position. Thanks again!

What an excellent teaching video. THANK YOU!!!

With such a talent for explaining stuff, I'd love to see videos about CIT and SIT. Especially when you get most CIT/SIT and why. Dr Dave has the videos already but I think you could be able to add a new quality to these topics.

Very nice combination of physics, fundamentals and common sense.

Great video! Something most pool instructors don't touch on.Can u please make a video on side pocket position shots.Example getting position from the 9 to 10 using various English and tip positions.Thank you!

Wow have learnt alot from the video.actually where u have to apply spin according to the angle

Great video! I learn so much from you. You make it look easy!

I so would have played that shot low right. Thanks for this video. Great lesson.

Very well explained... subbed!!!

I really enjoy watching his wideos

Great video very informative. Side pocket spin shots for position would be very helpfull.

Excellent video. Thanks!

Another great video... you sir, are the man!!!

Thank you loved it!! your Videos are helpful and apreciated Dex

A very good lesson sir. Thank you.

Love everything about your video

I love your videos! Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge with us. Great work on the video editing too!

thank you for a very detailed easy to understand explanation

Awesome instructional video! I can't seem to get the cueball up table when applying just right English from a closer angel!

This is a remarkably well done video. Thanks.

excellent instructional video. Now subscribed.

Good Instructions fit to bring it into Regular Practice!

Thank you 😊 sharivari for making this video for us

Another brilliant video, nice job man

A Very well explained tutorial, loved it. I have a question, while using right or left english, what should be our aiming to the object ball, when i play centre point on cue ball its fine but while using english I struggle and miss many shots can you pls guide on this

You make fantastic videos and your explanations are excellent!

Sir thank you for this video. I follow all the upcoming videos.

Great video! I been struggling with these types of shots. Especially when trying to slide the Cue ball, to say make a break shot. When I go to the slide shot I make the break but rattle the shot. Its aggravating! I find myself blaming different cloths on different tables grabbing different Maybe you can Donna video on thsts some time. Thanks!

The simple rule to remember is you are using running side , this makes the angle wider and makes the cueball run at speed . Checkside ( woild be left handside here ) narrows the angle and slows the cueball down. Thats all you need to remember here .

I am a beginner pool player, and am still trying to figure out the best position to even hold the pool que in. Would you mind doing a video on different and best ways to do this?

Excellent man

Great advice!

Wow! very learning, very important technic! i really appreciate Sir Sharivari! Thank You! Keep up the good work!... :)

Great video! Thank you so much!!

Thank you for this video

Awesome! Now I know why using always low right/left draw I have trouble with speed control

Nice thank you you helped me.

Love this video
