A stop shot is essentially the same as a stun shot which I talked about in my last article. The main difference between a stun shot and a stop shot is the goal of a stop shot is to get the ball to stop in place immediately after impacting a ball. With a stun shot,…
In my last article about how the cue ball slides, I explained the basic concept of what it means for the cue ball to be sliding instead of rolling. If you missed that article make sure to check it out before reading this one. I’m going to be expanding on that topic. A stun shot…
A very important part of improving your cue ball control is understanding the difference between when the cue ball is sliding and when the cue ball is rolling/spinning. When the cue ball is rolling or spinning, instead of sliding, it doesn’t follow the tangent line perfectly. I covered this in my last article How does…
The tangent line explains how a ball in motion will react after hitting a stationary ball. The tangent line can be used to predict the trajectory of the cue ball after impacting your object ball. If you don’t know what the tangent line is check out my last article “Understanding The Tangent Line”. In my…
The tangent line is the basic understanding of how the cue ball will react after hitting a stationary ball. To be even more specific, it is a simplification of the geometry and physics that occurs when a moving ball hits a stationary ball. Understanding the tangent line in pool will allow you to predict the…
