How to Make Extreme Cut Shots

Almost every extreme cut shot demonstrated!

You're a good teacher! I aimed to miss and I missed!

If someone has pointed this out earlier then I apologize, I didn't want to read all the replies. The reason the ball is going in even though he is using the "wrong" english is not due to english, it is due to the deflection of the cue ball when he cues it off center. When he is cutting a ball to the left he aligns for a thin cut. When he applies left english the cue hits to the left of center of the cue ball which forces it to deflect to the right. So his thin cut becomes even thinner. The stiffer the cue the more deflection you get. It's why they make low deflection cues, so it's easier to aim when using english.

Good info Dupree. A suggestion for your videos: show an angle of the camera set up behind you so viewers can see how you are lining up and cueing. The whole right/left thing gets a bit confusion when viewers are observing with the cue ball coming toward them.

I can confirm this glitch has been patched!

This video was nothing less than mind-blowing! Can't wait to give them a try!

great lessons. extreme cut shot had always be my most difficult situation in the game and it comes alot. cant wait to apply ur teaching to my game. thanks.. keep up ur great work and waiting for ur next tutotial videos

[maryjostrain]

Great tips. I much prefer cutting. Not good at banking. Knowing I can cut these impossible looking cuts will come in real handy!
Thanks, you got a new subscriber here!

Them pockets look like a girl I knew in high school! Keep up the great work, you have a great shot, I hope you have not lost your passion for the game! This video is 5 years old now!

While the cue may impart some spin it is not the reason it goes into the rail. The momentum is actually pushing/sliding the ball forward off line.

This guy loves the game/sport. Great teacher!

Beautiful shots and explanations! As a beginner, it would be great to see exactly where you are hitting the cue ball, either using a graphic or a camera close up of where the cue contacts the cue ball.

"Here's the cut from a couple different angles"

*one angle*

I watched over and over - for instance at 8:40. If you watch the numbers on the 2 ball it doesn't look like there is any spin on the ball - it looks to me like it is rolling straight as an arrow and the numbers do not change orientation at all. So I don't get what spin you are talking about. It makes sense to me that the object ball would spin with an extreme cut but...just can't see it. What am I missing?

1st shot: IIRC from Byrne, the cue ball does not spin the object ball into the rail, it pushes it into the rail. English on the cue counteracts the push.

[eckehardmielke]

Same question as other asked before: when you refer to "right spinn", do you hit the cue ball on right or left side?

[LuiShoZen]

Thanks Dupree, good info. The reason for the direction of the spin in your shots is that the spin the object ball takes is always the opposite direction of the spin you give to the cue ball.

[dennisrkb]

You have to spin the cue ball just enough so that its rotational speed matches its forward speed, which effectively cancels its rotation. Upon contact, no spin is transferred to the object ball.

[daveflaig]

It takes practice but it works.  I made the long cut where you aim to miss on my third try.  I was shocked.  Good video Dupree.

[robertgomez]

We appreciate you too Dupree a young master of the art.thanks

The way I learned how to do the cuts which explains it better is, hit on the side of the ball where the pocket is in relation to the object ball.
