How do I use reverse english on the cueball playing pool?

Question

playing pool on yahoo. How do I pull the cueball back when it comes in contact with the object ball? Also how do I communicate with the other player?

Answer 1

strike the cue ball on the lower half to pull it back, strike the top to force it to continue forward.

Answer 2

If you played on a real table you would understand english

Answer 3

Strike the cue ball hard as close to the bottom as you can and rapidly pull your cue back. It may not work the first time so practice, practice, practice.

Answer 4

hit the cue ball on the lower part, and communicate with the player by breaking the rack hitting the cue on the upper end really hard and jumping the ball and smacking them in the fore head.

Answer 5

Not sure how it works on Yahoo pool, only played there a time or two, but I'm assuming that hitting the cue ball below the equator should draw it back.

btw- english is a term relating to hitting the cue ball either right or left of center. Draw and Follow relate to hitting below or above center. No big big deal of course, as there are dozens of terms used for cue ball control.
