Thanks Ron for your information & clarity of side spin & influence how to perfect it as I am kinder skeptical & end up missing a simple shot because of negativity and lack of clarity behind side spin. Now I am starting to have confidence behind my shots. Very impressive & informative tutorials
Good informational video Ron and I feel you covered all the aspects relating to cheating the pocket to not overcut, the conflict between draw & follow for shape on the next ball, etc... always great presentation my friend!! Top notch!! 💪👌
@@TwoEagleStar Thank you Ron, I very much appreciate it. I’m working hard to better depict what is actually thanking place by showing/explaining the physics of shots. Thanks again 👍🏻 ❤️🎱
Hey Ron - another great vid! (got my 19th match in a row last night! - going for 20 tomorrow!) Go old guys! - I think you’re a 1956 model, I’m a 1957 model - cheers)
@@ronthepoolstudent I’m in leagues in British Columbia’s southern interior - total population in the region is maybe 300k, and it’s a big region. The city I play in is under 150k - but it’s still awesome to be in the top 10 - 15, locally. Especially for an old guy! Keep on posting “the good stuff”! (You watch, I’ll lose tomorrow just cause I’m talking about it!) No illusions of grandeur
Thank you! Really like how you showed that you don't have to hit super high to get that spin. I used to think I needed to hit almost at the top of ball to get required spin. That would lead to a lot of misses for me. Always great stuff Ron thank you
@@Chi_Town21 Some shots do require a higher stroke through the cue ball Chi_Town. Those are stroke-shots where we intend to spin the cue ball around the table covering greater distances going multiple cushions. With this shot however, the distance isn’t far, so a simple follow action is all that is needed 👍🏻
@@ronthepoolstudentwell said and while true, I need to work my way up to those type of shots with more spin. I try to keep it simple for my skill level. I was making simple shots harder than they needed to be.
Good shot good video. And players do need to know as you said cheating the pocket for a straighter angle is key as too much cut causes problems. Speed and spin are also key factors as too hard will change the angle more to the left and too much spin may not take. Lots of factors but better shot choice in that scenario. The draw and long rail 2 is last option if you cant work this preferred choice. The side rail scratch is in play too with this shot. Cheers
@@tomburns890 Thanks Tom and yes, “stun” and too little english can make things go wrong. I always apply a bit more side spin than needed on these type shots to protect against the scratch. Also; it’s a feel for how straight you can pocket the shot while predicting where the cue ball will need to hit on the first cushion. Matching up the spin with speed required, this controls stun so the stun angle doesn’t go long 👍🏻
My biggest struggle learning this shot was hitting too hard. Harder hit travels down the tangent line further and will get to a point that no amount of spin will recover from the steeper angle. Same idea when trying to follow a ball in, use slow natural roll.
You are right, Backspin Shots are harder to gauge than Follow Shots and require a faster Q action which narrower the margin of error. I don't know why I still made these bad choices over a follow shot to often. That video will remind me to prefer follow shots over backspin when both options are there. Thanks!
@@laurentsamson8927 Thank you Lauren. Btw, search Efren Reyes’ most recent interview some time. It’s very interesting what Efren says about following vs drawing the cue ball.
@@arxch126 Thank you Ahmed. I hit these shots with enough follow stroke to drive through the object ball so I hit the cushion with enough speed so the cue ball rebounds back across table for my next shot. If I may make a suggestion, set up this same shot scenario then experiment by shooting it several times. You’ll quickly develop a feel for the speed of the stroke and the aim point. Additionally, you do not want to hit the shot too hard as the cue ball will stun away thus creating too much angle for the spin to take hold and reverse ball back across table. Hope that helps 👍🏻
@@ronthepoolstudentwas intending to ask if the camera used for slow motion is the same camera as for the rest of this video. You mentioned two GoPros. Is it one model for slow motion and a different model for non-slow motion? Considering to buy a camera to record myself in slow motion and curious what model might be best for that.
@@Jay21121 I have several models but I use the Hero 9 Black as those have zoom capability. The only downfall with these cameras is the battery life. There is however, a battery available through Amazon that adds much more time to a typical shooting session.

Thanks Ron, probably would have drawn that one and just accepted it's not a high probability to get shape on the next one.
@@johnronan5478 Set up the shot John and learn it. It will give you a huge advantage over opponents many times in your future 👍🏻💪🏻

Thank you for your feedback Leon. I’m very happy to hear my tutorials are
helping 👍🏻😊

I haven't watched any of your stuff in a while, so it was evident how much better you're getting at these. Your presentation has become top-notch
@@MoeBro07 Thank you Justin, much appreciated. I’m working hard to better convey how the physics takes place on shots 👍🏻

I agree with one of your other commenters, quality of video and content has greatly improved over the years!

@@ronthepoolstudent I know I asked this before but.....Your using a Z3 with 11.8 mm tip right?
@ I too liked to push the limits just to see what was required. You’ll learn a lot by experimenting this way 👍🏻
@@seamusmcfadden994 Yes Seamus, I love the action I get with my Z3 and deflection is minimal 👍🏻
Great stuff as always.
