When they are using the cushions for position--after speed, and maybe also using follow/draw to affect the tangent line deviation.

However, I mostly agree, because I don't think most 'beginners' have any idea what the sidespin is for. Like, they think it helps them pot balls--and I do realize that for some shots it can--but because they don't already understand positioning with speed, and/or controlling the cue ball with top/bottom, they don't realize that hitting side doesn't really do anything for them. More to the point, they don't know what it *should* do for them.

“I'm just going to enjoy playing against the best players in China and watching and learning. Just to watch them play and pick up some tips.
“I know there's no expectation on me. I think everyone really knows that you can't just go from snooker to pool, or pool to snooker - you have to really practice one to get good at it.

In the finals of that event (2/23/26). Filler broke successfully 7 out of 10 times, whereas Gorst was 1 out of 5. I don't have any stats on earlier matches in that event.
