You're going to have a hard time getting your bridge hand under the cue on the bottom.
If you consider "impossible" to be "not that hard".

Some don't get it & some isolate factors & leave out other factors & some do what they do just for ulterior motives.

This shows your misunderstanding.
Once you choose the spot you want to hit on the CB (to give it the intended spin and speed), there's only one cue angle that will make the CB hit your target. You don't get separate choices.
If you choose to hit with the edge of your tip, you've chosen to apply maximum spin.

Also for quick draw on a short 'softer' hit shots. But...you said 'center CB'. So...I'm sure that will be argued shortly.:wink:

I can use the edge of my tip and stay close to center CB while achieving a good amount of spin. I see you don't understand a lot about shooting with an angled cue. Not everyone shoots with a straight flat cue like your drawings.
Do you have an understanding of what CJ means by pinning the CB?
I think many focus on the horizontal enter of their tip even when applying english.
I 'never' focus on the center of my tip, but always focus on the 'edge' that will be making contact with the ball.
Even when hitting for follow & I can not see the part that will be making contact, my focus is on the underneath side that will be making contact.
Please note the words in single quotes.
I was taught in school to use them when a word is used not exactly as its literal definition would be, either as an approximation or as a means of indicating irony.
Best 2 All.

Why do you ask?
No, you can't. You don't understand what center CB means - it changes with the angle of your cue.

few accelerate in a way that creates the "Pinning Effect".
That's correct, anyone can hit the cue-ball with the edge of their tip, however, few accelerate in a way that creates the "Pinning Effect". You can hear the sound it makes, and it's distinctively different than normal.

NO I DON'T !...But I'm not surprised !
..According to CJ, this is a term used often by top level, "road players" !..I admit to having taken a few years off, but in all my years of playing, I have NEVER heard that expression, from anyone (pro or amateur), unless they were referring to "pinning" the cue ball inside a corner, (which is a commonly ruled a foul) The surprising thing to me is, just because he introduced the term, you all seem to accept it as a "common expression" !.. So please, can anyone (including CJ.) explain HIS meaning of the word, or term ? (just for the benefit of us 'less advanced' player's)..Thank You.
Late Edit;--> Patrick may not be the player that CJ is, but his sensible way of explaining things is
'light years' ahead !

the edge of the tip can be used to apply all spins
That's right, the top edge is for draw and the bottom edge is for follow (although "force-follow" uses the top as well - with an elevated bridge).....the edge of the tip can be used to apply all spins. When slow-rolling the cue ball it's not necessary, although I prefer to "stun" or force the cue ball instead of slow-rolling when appropriate.

Really, can we please see that diagram, should be the best one yet.
