Well, that was a lot of work, but I think it was worth it. I just enjoy producing those videos so much. Help me to make a living here on YouTube, so that I can do this full time. All you have to do for that is to like my videos, subscribe & ring the bell. Thank you!

As someone who has watched just about every tutorial on pool that there is on the internet, from Rollie to Tor Lowry - to the old videos from Robert Bryne, Sigel, Strickland and the like. I believe that this is the most valuable comprehensive explanation on the APPLICATION of spin, in practice not just principal.

I've been explained the the strategic utilization of spin just about every way that you can, but no one ever demonstrates the nuance of these shots in practice, with useful commentary and everything.

Thank you my dude.

One of the best videos on the topic of side spin in the entire YouTube archive. Keep up the good work! You are helping a lot of people, and as one of them I can't thank you enough.

[RadioTom]

I don't understand the many thumbs down on this. I think this video explains all the complications of using english brilliantly. You are a real treasure to the pool community!

[rre]

Wow, I didn't know pool was this complex. You've convinced me to quit. :)

[Kataang]

It's crazy for me because I started to play pool more competitively 9 years ago and there was very limited billiard content creators on youtube and now there is high quality content being made with a a plethora of information I wish I had back then!

[PlasticBagable]

This was awesome. The problem with most spin videos is they film facing the pool table which makes right/left really hard to visualize because it’s reverse. The Go Pro REALLY helps with this because we can imagine it without having to flip right/left in our heads.

[LaVerdad]

GREAT content. This type of video will set the standard for future pool instruction. We’re all lucky we live in a time where this is available for FREE which is crazy

7:26 RIP the 10 ball... gone... forgotten in the void lol... All right enough about messing up. This is such an amazing video with not only point-on explanations of pool theories but also excellent demonstrations. If I have to add a couple more points, 1. All the adjustments and side-spin effect stay true only if the cue stays level, and the shooting mechanism is good. 2. Different cue cause significantly different deflections and hence different adjustments are required for the same shots. 3. The cleanness of the balls is not mentioned in the video but it's also a very important factor when considering the cut-induced-throw. Lastly, Sharivari's word at 17:20 "You don't wanna calculate before every single shot." is so true. Knowing the theories only gives you the right direction. It's the muscle memory and sometimes "a feeling" from tons of drill practices (or years of plays) that help you master the game.

I just want to tell you how much I appreciate all of your videos and the obvious time you put in to making them. Aside from the great camera angles, overlays, and audio, you're knowledge has been a tremendous benefit to why I have been improving so quickly and getting in the top 3 at tournaments. If you're ever in NJ, I'm buying you a beer.

I dont normally give out a thumbs up, but when I do. It's to thoroughly explained lessons with explanation and visuals to boot. Excellent tutorial.

[udyudy]

This is the topic i've been waiting. I always have problem pocketing balls when using sidepspin. Thanks.

[gmenon]

Amazing video and production quality! Someone said below that this video sets a new standard for pool instructional videos and I couldn't agree more

[garydoty]

Absolutely love your training videos. Showing where to hit the cue ball, explanation, demonstration absolutely outstanding. You have definitely raised the coaching bar, TREMENDOUSLY!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

[donaldpearce]

Great video. I have improved my pocketing percentage significantly when putting side spin on the ball. I was aware of these effects but it made me be more cognizant of the effect than I had been previously. Also, the discussion about effect on the ball at different speeds was great. Really fine job.

[GettingSoberAgain]

Great job once again! I really don't understand why people go out of their way to thumbs down this content. You're obviously putting a lot of work and effort into your production. Thank you!

[dnsnake]

I have seen many people explain this, no one has done it better than you. Thank you so much Sharivari!

[Kashed]

Great video and explanation! Somehow this came naturally to me when I started playing and I have been using it for over 30 years and find that unless it’s a straight shot or the position doesn’t call for it, I always use it. It’s kind of like second nature at this point. I have tried to explain it when teaching people, but they have a hard time picking it up. They get frustrated quickly because they tend to start missing everything and quickly go back to playing center ball. If anyone is frustrated incorporating this into their game, don’t give up! Keep practicing it and it will just click one day. You will be amazed how much this improves your game by having these tools! Just remember that your cue tip and the table felt plays a huge roll in how much effect it has on your shot when using this and you will need to adjust accordingly! Don’t give up and practice, practice, practice!!! 👍🏻 🎱

Thank you so much for your videos and lessons. People may not know how much work goes into making these videos with such high production quality. You are doing awesome ! Anywhere from your lighting, to your sound and all the post production editing and adding all the special effects. Just a great job and your are giving free lessons that would otherwise would cost people hundreds of dollars. I have improve my game in 4 months by an extra 40%. I use to go play and there were way more advance players, so I would win 3 out of 10 games. Now I’m winning 7-8 games out of 10 games. They all ask me me how did I get so good so quickly, I told them about your video and practicing every day, giving every shot the same amount of focus and importance. Anyways, thank you for the videos!

[Eddie-dgiz]

Very good information. You are absolutely right at the end of the video, you can't think about left/right and how hard/soft to hit while you are actually playing. A very simple way to adjust for left/right/top/backspin, just aims at the same spot on the target ball as you are hitting on the cue ball.
