Billiard Advanced - Spin Transfer

The spin of Cue Ball by using english will affect the object ball path. The same friction which makes an object ball throw also transfers spin from ball to ball. It’s a small difference. When using English, you should remember to compensate for Spin Transfer when you’re lining up your shot. Shown below are two bank shots hit with the same line and speed. The first shot is hit center-ball: The second shot is hit with left English: The rebound angle of the second shot is increased because of the spin transfer from the cue ball to the object ball. Left spin on the cue ball is transferred to the object ball as right spin, causing the rebound angle to increase. You can use English to offset ball throw (see Ball Throw). a small amount of left English is being applied to the cue ball to remove the throw effect.It cause the angular velocity at the contact point cancels the linear velocity resulting in no friction and no ball throw.
