    neither the left nor the right hand english videos explain how throw effects the path of the object ball and the potential deflection of the cue ball when hitting left or right of center. Expert villiage dropped the ball on when they used this guy.

    Watch his stroke, it’s completely wobbly and he doesn’t follow through.

    He doesn’t know what he’s doing.

    He said aim to hit the red ball like you normally would. According to what I learn and how I play, thats not what I do because of the fact of deflection.

    what size is that table? doesn’t it seem small?

  10. runoutman on August 29, 2010 at 3:41 pm

    giovanni you know less than this guy. he didn’t get any left english on the ball none. fuckin’ none he’s clueless as to what english is for. how about discussing deflection and throw before you try to generalize left english in a single shot

    LOL
    HE SUCKS MORE THAN I DO

    Yeah, and on top of that he insinuated the ball would come off the foot rail and the side rail when it only barely bounced off the foot rail. The english seemed to have no effect on the cue ball so I’m not really sure what he was trying to show here.

    Nrfotrune, your extremely dumb and anooying, if you lot played pool, you would understand trail and error when it comes to it, and what he is saying is good, worth listening to if your dumb enough not knowing how to play on your own.

  18. nrfortune on August 29, 2010 at 8:23 pm

    mate u talk a lot show less Seems ur expert on talking !

    That was more of a tut on throw versus cue ball placement. Would be more beneficial if he’d show the same shot using center ball as opposed to left english so the student could see the effect the english has on the cue ball position and the path of the object ball.
