Sidespin on a snooker table both with and against the nap

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

that is maybe because a smaller white would not just hit the belt of the white at the same spot as equal size balls. Perhaps a little more of the smaller white hits the larger OB lower down adding a bit more friction?

Very possibly. I'll have a search if i can be bothered - i think i remember the good doctor covering CB weights and sizes before.

I was puzzled by your earlier comment about pool balls- let me assure you they throw all over the place - you cannot play pool to a decent standard without knowing this. I agree it's pretty pointless using them on a snooker table, however.

Incidentally, much to my surprise, you can get large amounts of throw on English pool tables, which i didn't think possible due to the smaller CB.

in your game what do you believe is throwing all over the place the cb,or ob ?

I would love to see you do the shot on the baulk colours into the middle with screw/side, but I won't hold my breath

This is a wee bit insulting - Terry has represented his country and made century breaks - and anyone who can do that knows how to use side travis and I am sure he can play it - the shot you mean is a hard one takes a lot of timing and is a 5 -6 out of 10 shot perhaps less due to the pace you gotta play it at....looks good when it comes off - Robertson/Drago/white/Lee are particularly good at this shot.

which shot do we want to see?

[Byrom]

that one where you slam a baulk colour in the middle hit down at 7 o clock on the white screwing with side off the top cushion and side rail back down to the middle of table in between blue and pink area

ok... let me see if I can position my phone and do it.

think ipad is dead

How did we start discussing plants? Totally different cause.

Because you think that the only way to pot a ball is if you hit the BOB. We all know that plants can be made if they aren't lined up with the pocket and not touching the BOB

Pretty bloody good that Pottr, looked down around the pink spot on the second one, is that right?, cue ball doesn't half waz off the second Cush with the side on it.

nice...lovely table/snooker room you have ... now just tell me you are married to a model and drive a Aston Martin and I will never speak to you again

For the love of god can people stop talking about side transfer? We are not, nor have we ever been, talking about side blooody transfer. Give me strength...it's like talking to 2 year olds!

But, as you mention it, side transfer does exist but not in a way that will affect the path of the object ball. It's value is primarily in terms of adding check or running side to the object ball when it hits a cushion; so, useful for doubles and safeties.

Video evidence of side transfer provided below - can you actually watch it this time? It's rather frustrating going to the time and trouble of finding videos you clearly don't bother to watch.

And lol at your 10 pack in competition. I've seen you play and not a chance.

I was asking you about the 10 racks since you say you're a good pool player. I've run centuries at snooker and it's been in Snooker Scene.
