A lot of you were asking for this video, so I made it. If you enjoyed it and want to show appreciation, you can use the new "Super Thanks" feature that is next to the Like button. Thank you guys!

I feel like over time, this will become your most-viewed video. So many people struggle with this, and are not sure how to adjust for deflection in different cases. It's one of those big hurdles you need to figure out to get to the next level.

[garettclement]

Never seen a clearer explanation of how to aim with spin, even from Sharivari himself. Thank you man.

[YellowZee]

Finally, I could understand the deflection. A master class! Thanks, Sharivari.

"Backhand English" was the most useful tip I ever learned from Dr. Dave, but his message is lost in "mathiness". Good players do it by feel. This video explains how to intuitively adjust based on bridge, distance, speed, etc. so using these tips you can easily transition from "calculating" side-english to feeling it!

Hard shots - BHE (bridge length based on cue)
Soft shots - FHE

Stay down, watch the shot, eventually my cue will automatically do the right thing. Thanks!

Not only are you a great teacher, the graphics and animations you overlay on your videos are very clear. It was interesting to see (for the 2 shots in Benefits and Dangers section) how the cue ball hits the first rail at about the same point but because there's different amounts of spin it hits the second rail at very different points.

Absolutely nailed it on this video. The best video anywhere to explain BHE and FHE with actual application examples. Thanks for this gem. It will be saved forever.

[jamesdavis]

BHE is a real thing for sure. I use it many times when I am not totally comfortable just figuring out my aim while standing. The big thing, as mentioned, is that you have to find the pivot point of your cue - where the cue and the bridge are. Once you find that it is amazing how good BHE works.

As for FHE - it works exactly as mentioned in this video. You just have to really practice these shots over and over and over and get a feel for it. But BHE makes applying english, and making shots, so much easier.

By far the best tutorial videos I've seen. This one in particular really demystifies the effects of applied spins, or "English". Thank you so much, vielen Dank!!!

You will play your best pool if you avoid using side spin unless absolutely needed, which is seldom. Stay on the centerline of the Q ball using bottom, follow and stun and you'll make way more shots and can can get any position you need.

A few videos back you told me you would make this video... and it's great! Thank you for sharing with us!

I often wondered why side English i never had any deflection issues on short shots but long shots was impossible, I now know why, i been using only back hand english this whole time (actually I think i've used a bit of a combination of both FE and BE english naturally which still explains why i only felt comfortable with side english at a specific distance). I've started watching your videos weeks ago and so far your one of only channels I've found that actually explain all the different physics going on. So many videos I find will only describe one exact scenario and ignore all the physics going on and then you realize if you don't setup shot exactly as they do, it doesn't work due to more distance or hitting ball softer/harder and so on. For example my biggest issue is bank shots and so many videos show how to bank by counting diamonds and so on but they always only shot straight bank shots, they never show what happens or what to do when your hitting ball at an angle off the bank line and I know from playing myself that applies English to object ball your hitting and throws the ball wider or shorter depending on which side of object ball you hit before object ball hits the rail. No one explains that. Sometimes they mention angle changing depending on speed of ball but even that isn't very well explained, , how do i know what is medium/soft/hard speeds for example? So I think I'm going to mostly stick to your channel for now on, since you explain everything I need to consider and I think the more information the better. I'm nearly 40 years old and have played pool casually but always got frustrated not understanding why certain shots would work sometimes and not others but before YouTube I was just missing so many physic principles that now I sort of understand most of what's going on. The problem now is putting in the practice and hours and since i'm not really intending on playing on a professional level or in tournaments, i'm not sure how far I want to go with it. But for now I'm getting enjoyment out of seeing a whole new level of progression to my skill in even just the past couple weeks and largely due to your videos.

This changed my game. Works good. Now I know when to use FHE&BHE. I got a long slow roll now.

[mikefranc]

Hey Sharivari, excellent explanation on when to use BHE and FHE. Thanks

[MarcassCarcass]

Funny, just yesterday i was thinking that i needed a lesson in this in order to improve. We're synced. Well done, I finally understand BHE and FHE.

[JerryLee..]

One of the best explanations. Already watched this a few times and shared this. Thanks!

[lewismetzger]

Thank you for a very straight forward explanation with examples for a complicated topic.

[celebrity]

This is the coach i want i can understand easily keep it up bro thanks for the lesson❤❤❤

[nigelsalvador]

This is the one aspect of the game that I'm trying to master right now. You've added some insight. Thanks!

GREAT VIDEO ... actuslly explains a lot that I've been trying to learn. I haven't seen ANYONE spell it out like that. Thx
