In his video "Top 10 Pool Shots Every Player Must Know!!!", Dr. Dave lists the #2 shot as knowing how to use English. In the video, Dr. Dave gives examples of each of the following types of shots:
I think I know that right English and left English are absolute terms, while running/outside English and reverse/inside are relative terms--in other words reverse English could be right or left English depending on the position of the CB and OB. And, it seems to me that running English is the same as outside English, likewise reverse English is the same as inside English. However, Dr. Dave's presentation seems to imply that there are six different types of English. Based on my understanding, I think I could state that there are only two types of English: outside English and inside English. Is my understanding correct, or am I overlooking something?
Thanks.
