How to Make a Cut Shot in Pool



pool sticks

During the game of pool, players can make a wide variety of shots. But, aiming is the most important aspect of pool. Although there are many methods to achieve this feat, it's best to be able to identify the exact spot where you should hit the cueball. If you can identify the best place to hit the ball you'll be a much better player in pool.

A cut shot is a clever technique to deflect an object from the bumper. To do this, you must hit the object ball with the cue ball at an angle. This causes the cue to spin slightly. This spin creates momentum that is transferred to your object ball. The object ball will usually skid before turning over.

It is difficult to execute the cut shot. You must strike the object ball with the cue ball at an angle that is not only clever, but also safe. Your cut shot should not be more than 90 degrees. If you do not have this amount of leeway, you could practice your cut shot using a system with random-sized object ball sizes. It is also a good idea to use a practice table to get the hang of the cut shot.

As a guide, you should use the cut shot to determine how you will approach other shots. The object ball should hit you. However, you shouldn't jerk your head or pull away the cue. This will give your opponent time to grab the object ball.


It is important to practice proper pre-shot rituals in order to hit the object balls correctly. While there are many different methods, the best way to approach this task is to follow a systematic pre-shot process. For example, you may want to start by shooting for the center marker on the foot rail. This will enable you to judge how much force is needed to make a cut shot.

A system of objects balls is one way to make a cut shot. You have two options: you can place the balls in random places on the pool table or you can use a system that is specifically set up for your shot. This will make it easier to get the most value out of your practice sessions. Using the right balls and balls of the appropriate colors is also helpful.

High angle cuts are one of the most difficult shots. A high angle cut requires you to use a stronger stroke. It is simpler to make a low angle cut.
