Answer 3

It is called English. You need to have a good cue, and some cue chalk. The chalk "grabs" the cue ball harder than a bare cue. You will never see a good pool player shoot without first rubbing chalk on the stick. You rub the chalk on the cue, and instead of hitting the cue ball straight on the ball in the middle, you angle the cue stick up, down, left, or right, and strike the cue ball with the angular motion. You will then impart spin onto the cue ball allowing you to do many things with it.

Trust me, these trick shot artists practice more than you will ever imagine. It takes a lot of practice just to get a litle bit of controllable spin on the cue ball. With some determination, and lots of practice, you can do it too.

I think there are a few videos out there that will teach you some basics.

have fun!

Stevo.

I'm assuming you are referring to masse shots, actually getting the cue ball to curve on the table.

You need to elevate the back of your cue and hit the cueball on a downward angle, while also using right or left spin. These shots are not difficult to do to some extent, however mastering them is a whole different ball game.

Keep in mind any time you are hitting down on the cue ball it will mark the cloth. So if it is not your own table, you may want to take it easy on these types of shots. Another option is to place a small piece of cloth under the cue ball when trying masse or jump shots.

Answer 5

If you want the cue ball to go to the left hit it on the right side(of the ball)

If you want it to go right hit it on the left side (of the ball)

If you want it to go up aim your stick down towards the ball
