Like straightline indicated, this was instruction, likely for less than above average players. General Population discussion.
His key statement was "don't use English To Make a Ball" It's OK to use English for position.
We all know that spinning the ball complicates things.
That's all he was saying, unless I missed something.
i think those of you that criticized my post somewhat misunderstood my intent
as a premise to not use english to make a ball but only for position is a great principle
i was only pointing out a common use of english that is well accepted when pocketing balls
and wondered whether he would say you should not use it.
if you notice i posted as a question
"But would he ever say that using gearing sidespin (English,) for example, to minimize cut induced throw should never be used to help you make a ball?"
i was not advocating using it all the time
