Answer 2

you have to hit the cue ball very high tops, firmly.  It's hard to get control of the cue ball though, as in where it's going or when the spin will take so that you can get a hit.  It's something that you are going to have to practice again and again.  Check out this site though

It's got some great advice about the basics

Answer 3

Usually one uses a 'jump cue' but a regular cue will do.  You strike the ball with a severe cue angle (at least 45 degrees) and a little off center depending which way you want the cue ball to curve out and then in again.  It takes a lot of practice and you seldom see the pro's do it.

Answer 4

Jack up the cue, stick the cue ball on the top (and whatever side you want it to masse) with a firm but not over powerful stroke thru the cue ball. it takes  alot of practice. good luck
