How to spin a pool ball



free pool games

A cueball spin diagram is an illustration which shows the relationship between spin and trajectory of a cueball. This diagram can be used by players to improve their skills and increase their chances of winning. If you are a beginner to pool, you may not be aware of how much control you have over the ball. Fortunately, there are expert tips and tricks that can make your game easier.

There are many options for getting a spin on a cueball. One of the most important is the squirt angle, or the direction of the squirt when the ball bounces. A cue ball without spin will rebound at one angle. A cue ball with spin will rebound from a longer angle.

Although it is not an accurate measure of how spin is in the ball, the squirt angle does indicate the direction of the spin. A cue ball that has a high squirt angle, for example, will bounce in the correct direction. The amount of spin depends on many factors such as the ball's weight, strike hardness, angle of strike, cushion quality and speed.

The squirt angle is not a very complex function of the impact parameter, although it is nominally independent of the mass of the ball. A lower cue ball strike will result in a greater squirt angle, since the ball is traveling at a slower pace. Making the strike more difficult is the best way keep the squirt angles small.


Cue ball spinning can be either a side, top or bottom spin. During a shot the cueball will follow the Tangent Line, which is a 90 degree angle from the object ball's direction. The trajectory of the cueball is affected more by top and bottom spins than any other. The spin of the cue ball can be affected by various cloths and tables.

Although the squirt angle is nominally independent of the mass of the object ball, it is still a useful way to deflect the ball. If the object is too far away, or the ball is not an appropriate target, then the squirt is unlikely. It is also an important factor in determining whether or not a given shot will work. A good shot will reduce the squirt angle and help the player pocket the ball.

The speed at which you hit the cue ball can determine how quickly it leaves the tangent line. This means that the ball will travel faster, but it will rebound at an angle shorter. Therefore, a good rule of thumb is to use a faster stroke for a left spin and a slower stroke for a right spin.
