One of the biggest episodes for me so far. Really difficult topic but I hope that all things are understandable for you :) Share your opinion about BHE & FHE and how important these systems are in your game :) All the best!!!
Adam, you are like a chess master with your knowledge of pool math. I need a snorkel because you went deep. I might need to put this on loop mode and listen to it in my sleep so it sinks in. Well done! 😁
Great Videos Adam, the only thing you don't show with the camera, the point of impact of the object ball using left or rt side spins. It will be great if you make another video just showing the point of impact using, lt rt low left and lower right contact points. Appreciated all you do, thanks, you are my biggest fan. Thanks, keep up the good work,
Thank you very much for your comment and opinion! This is bit older video and I need to refresh it in one of my new episodes where I definitely need to show every possible explanation :)
Hello, you’re videos are really helping me understand many pool concepts. I greatly appreciate your methodical approach to showing each situation in many different ways. Question: As I’ve been learning pool, I’ve been often told that I should never adjust my aim, cue stick, etc. when I get down on a shot. Once I have my aiming line, then any adjustments while down on the shot can negatively impact my shot. BHE and FHE seem to be systems that absolutely contradict this by purposely moving after getting down on the shaft. I’m curious if this is actually something that professionals use in tournaments? Or are these techniques essentially “quick-fixes” for people who don’t have the time to pot 1 million balls to obtain proper feel?
Thank you very much for your comment. BHE & FHE didn't have impact on our body if we do it correctly. Situation is different if you get down to the shot and then you are changing position of legs or bridge. Then you will not be able to hit on the correct line. Mamy pool players adjust their shots automatically based experience and on many shots made in the past🙏
Thank you for your comment. This type of aiming is greatly influenced by the length of the bridge because it will significantly change the final aiming point. You simply need to first move the stick without moving the bridge, i.e. give BHE, and then do the same only for FHE, i.e. this time move the cue stick without changing the grip position.
YOU MUST FIRST DETERMINE THE PIVOT POINT OF YOUR CUE'S SHAFT . WHEN YOU PIVOT EXACTLY AT THIS PIVOT POINT THEN THERE IS NO DEFLECTION USING BHE OR FHE.
This is an estimate based on quality of my equipment. It means that depending on how much spin you need use firstly you need to apply this spin using 70% of BHE and the finish movement using only FHE. I hopę it will be helpful.
but does BHE and FHE also apply to making safety shot with English where u want to control the cue ball ? say u have a long shot u want to play a safety on .
Appreciate for your video , can i have one question : "Can we adjust the length of bridge hand on different type of shoot ( like Short , medium , long distance ) instead of the combination of BHE and FHE " ?? Thank you .
This is really difficult thing what you said. I saw in my own tests that if you play long distance shot then if you will use long bridge and play BHe then deflection is much lower than with classic bridge. There isn't special key for this and no one can tell you what system and what bridge you should use on this specific shot. We are using different kind os cues with different deflection and only hard practice can show you what you can play on each shot :) I hope that this is understandable for you because my english is not perfect :)
@@MrCueBall thanks for your reply . It's understandable . I agree with when use high speed shot with BHE , the cue ball swerve is low and squirt is high . So In my case , i used to adjust the length of my bridge hand when apply bhe in different distance . ( eg : for long distance shot , i will shorten my bridge hand / pivot for ) The result is quite good in few practice game 😅😅.
Yes, instead of changing the BHE/FHE numbers, one can vary the bridge length to accomplish the same thing. For the same tip offset, using a shorter bridge length is equivalent to applying more BHE at the original, un-shortened bridge. For example, say for a particular shot you need 70% BHE at bridge length of 11 inches (with 30% FHE to apply the desired total sidespin). You could instead use a bridge length of 8 inches and apply only 50% BHE for the same result (with 50% FHE). This equates to a cue with a 14 inch natural pivot length (NPL) and assumes a faster/shorter shot; i.e. negligible swerve. But every cue is different because the NPL changes. Of course, it's not always possible to use the bridge length you want so you need to know how to adjust the BHE/FHE too.
Sorry, but this is crazy! As a mediocre pool player you already struggle with aiming and then you should in addition add % in different english types? :-) Well, I honestly appreciate your work here, don´t get me wrong, but how practical is this?
@Vincentitto. I hear ya! But I would answer your question with another question: What is the alternative and how practical is that? The main alternative to the BHE/FHE methodological approach is simply to experiment trial-and-error with all the different side spin shot scenarios until -- somehow, someday -- you figure it out. Is that more "practical"? Maybe it is, for some people. The point is that adding side spin to your game introduces many new variables that need to be controlled. There's no avoiding it!
Hi... just one thing that still confuses me. On a non left or right english shot - I aim at the center of the ghost ball behind the object ball towards the pocket (simple enough), but now if i apply BHE or FHE, should i still look at the original position of the ghost ball? or the ghost ball also moves to a new location to which where i should be looking at before hitting the shot? Sorry if im not making sense here.
Thanks for your opinion! Ghost Ball is always in the same place because you need to hit the cue ball exactly on this point to pot object ball but you need to adjust your aiming to hit the cue ball in correct point. Of course there is Cut Induced Throw or Spin Induced Throw what slightly can change trajectory of the object ball. BHE & FHE are two really different aiming adjustment methods and for me I didn;t use any of them in my game. I have experience and know what can I expect from my cue and apply spin automatically for each kind of shot. This require a lot of practice to understant what will happen with the cue ball and object ball after different shots :) I hope that this answer is understandable for you :)

Such good explanation. Thank you for including low deflection shafts explanation.
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful, especially regarding low or high deflection shafts :)
Do you have this in a chart by chan e to study and memorize
Great vid. Question: when using BHE in combination with the FHE do we need to use the natural pivot point with the BHE
Thank you for your comment. This type of aiming is greatly influenced by the length of the bridge because it will significantly change the final aiming point. You simply need to first move the stick without moving the bridge, i.e. give BHE, and then do the same only for FHE, i.e. this time move the cue stick without changing the grip position.
very good tutorial .. thanks . I have a question... what does 1.5 ft mean in cm?
Thank you. It is around 45cm🙏
YOU MUST FIRST DETERMINE THE PIVOT POINT OF YOUR CUE'S SHAFT . WHEN YOU PIVOT EXACTLY AT THIS PIVOT POINT THEN THERE IS NO DEFLECTION USING BHE OR FHE.
How to do a shot with 70%BHE and 30%FHE... I don't really know about these relative percents.
This is an estimate based on quality of my equipment. It means that depending on how much spin you need use firstly you need to apply this spin using 70% of BHE and the finish movement using only FHE. I hopę it will be helpful.
Bardzo ciekawe przedstawienie zagadnienia ugięcia kija. A może powinni zacząć robić je z tytanu 😃.
To chyba nie byłoby dobre posunięcie :)
@@MrCueBall No to powiedzmy kompozyt tytanowo - kewlarowo - węglowy 😄.
but does BHE and FHE also apply to making safety shot with English where u want to control the cue ball ?
say u have a long shot u want to play a safety on .
Of course you can use it but in my opinion this is not necessary in this situation because we otfen do this automatically during these situations.
When shooting for bank and rail kick with english, do also use/apply FHE & BHE?
Then this is not necessary because you are using side spin to change path of the object ball after contact with rail.

@@giaoconhuynh7330 Does that mean you only use BHE? for long shots, 'shorten bridge length' is roughly 0.4 ft or lower?
Yes, instead of changing the BHE/FHE numbers, one can vary the bridge length to accomplish the same thing. For the same tip offset, using a shorter bridge length is equivalent to applying more BHE at the original, un-shortened bridge.

What is crazy? BHE & FHE are methods which we know from the years. This is episode with explanation of each system and how it works in reality🙏

Application of percentage impossible to determine.
This is only for visualization how it works🙏
