    The definition for English is: When a cue ball is struck on either side of its vertical axis, giving it side spin. English may also occur when a ball collides with another or with a rail. The term comes from the British players who first became famous with sidespin techniques.
    I use english mostly to gain cue ball position for the next shot.

    thanks for the comment, and good luck with your game

    Hey Dean,

    Can you tell me what the heck is “English”?

  4. 2hvy4grvty on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    Better choice:

    1st shot: kill the ball (2 and a half tips below center and a soft, soft stroke; should stop right where the 9 is).

    You always want to travel a shorter distance if possible.

    2nd shot: shoot the damn 13. You’re snookered behind their balls after making that kick.

    Thanks, that is a big compliment and is the reason I’m doing these tips, to get more people interested in pool, it’s a great sport and can be lots of fun, especially when you win.

    Hi JD –
    Good question – I think first you should be confortable with your stance and stroke, also what are you looking at when getting ready to shoot. All of these things are very important, the rest is practice and perfection.

    Thanks for watching and good luck with your game…

    Thanks for the comment, I’ll pay more attention to detail when illustrating these tips.

    I’ve been playing pool competitively for around 10+ years now. I just like to say that you have to remember when giving out tips that beginners are watching more closely to things that we(experienced players) don’t pay attention to as much anymore … such as … cue elevation, stance, bridge, etc. For Example: I see in some videos you bridge higher than others when not needed or in this video you should stay between to pockets as much as you can to avoid scratching and keep it simple.

  16. digbick1978 on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    Hey great videos man. Your lessons are genuine and great learning tools. Keep up the good work mate 🙂

  17. getlois on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    Don’t know how I missed this comment, sorry about that. To answer your question, it’s all in your stroke, masses require lots of practice, but once you get it, it’s easy, accuracy becomes a little challenge but that’s where the practice comes in, good luck

    Thanks man, appreciate the comment, and yes this was my first attempt at this shot, the video people got to go home early….

    Thanks
    Dean

    i was hoping ur 1st shot would make it to the side pocket and see ur eyes pop and say ” oops !”

    but when the ball stopped…. it stopped perfectly dead on the sweet spot…. so my eyes popped instead, great vid man =)

  20. getlois on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    Yes, you are correct a steady straight stroke is very important, don’t know how I missed it but I’ll make sure I make a point of it in my next set of “Dean’s Pool Tips” thanks for the comment –

  21. pooler4ever on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    you should have included to keep a steady staight stroke because even with no english applied a bad stroke can put on wanted spin on the cue ball.

  22. gnarkill733 on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    thanks for the videos, ive watched them all and they are really helpful. for the very first shot you made, where you curved the cue ball around the four, is pulling off that shot as simple as just drawing it back and to the right or is there some special technique?

  23. getlois on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    Please explain… it’s a little late and I’m not sure what you mean… Look forward to your reply…
    Thanks
    Dean

  24. shadow180596 on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    But if your shot with the cue ball isn’t straight, (which applies english onto it) it will go haywire am I right?

  25. getlois on January 17th, 2009 at 5:49 pm:

    Thanks!
