World 8 Ball Pool Championships Coaching Seminar – Introduction to Spin

A section of one of the seminars I held at theWorld 8 Ball Pool Championships at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool.

In this segment I talk about spin on the cue ball – how it gets there and what it does.  To get the cue ball to react in the way you want it to, it is not simply a question of hitting the cue ball in a specific way, there are lots of other factors involved.  Here I concentrate on the distance between the balls and how that affects the reaction of the cue ball after contact with an object ball.

World 8 Ball Pool Championships Coaching Seminar – Bridging

A section of one of the seminars I held at the World 8 Ball Pool Championships at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool.

In this extract I am talking about a subject often overlooked – Bridging.  It is such a basic part of the game that very few pool players ever give their bridge hand any thought, so it seemed like a good idea to look at some of the more common issues with bridging on the pool table, and why the bridge hand is so important to finding consistency in your pool game.
