Wondering how many of you use "high follow" or "forced follow" on some of your pool shots?
Yes, all good players use force follow when needed.
These should be in everyones arsenal:
Force Follow
Power Draw
Stun
Run Stun
These all require a unique stroke, as opposed to simply applying english.
JMO, YMMV

Here is a video and I think the third way is the easiest to get shape on the 2 ball. Don't give me crap as I'm not a teacher. I use this shot all the time in my games.

I'm sure I do, but I don't think of it as something with a name of its own - just a follow shot hit hard and high.Wondering how many of you use "high follow" or "forced follow" on some of your pool shots?
I use it everytime I "need" it.
It's not hard to do. It's just another way to move (bend) the cueballs line of travel to get into position, play a carom....etc...etc...
Any average player should be able to do it on command....no matter if their "in stroke" or not...

Whether it's the reason for or a side effect of the shot, it's always taken into account.So, the "bending" of the CB has nothing to do with your decision?
I wouldn't call this force follow. It's just a normal follow shot, nothing unusual.
Some people (336Robin) on here think force follow is what most would describe as stun run through. I've always thought of force follow as when you're almost straight on a shot and have to go forwards 2 or 3 rails. Quite a bit different than the shot on the video.
What's the difference between that high English and typical high English? What do you do differently?Making the "bend" of the CB is what gives it the shape. The forward spin on the CB gives the bend. I call that force follow but that's me. Typical high English would not cause that. (in my game).
