Cue stick stroke with a spin.

… I found myself trying it again. Trying to get a cue ball to spin like a clock while moving straight towards an object ball.

It’s an absolutely standard spin shot - hit the CB off enter and adjust the cue angle to compensate for squirt so the CB goes where you want it to. No “trick stroke” needed.

No. You turn your wrist as you stroke. It is a center strike on the cue. What the shooter try’s to do is have the chalk “grab” the cue ball , creating the ball to spin. Like the hands of a clock spinning the ball not by English perse. But by the friction created by spinning the shaft on impact and in turn spinning the cue ball

This makes no sense, and no player past a beginner would be doing or trying this. If you actually get spin this way, it us by accident when you hit off center. Swiping across the ball outside of some very rare specialty shots is a baaaadddd idea. Sounds like how a lady that was like an APA 2 or 3 was trying to tell me to make a cut shot she just aims straight spin and not line up as a cut. Even after missing 6 in a row she was still telling me that her idea was correct. You are not getting spin by swiping but by hitting off center by accident without knowing why.

Oops - I misread your post. When you said "spin like a clock" you meant "as seen from the shooter's position", not from overhead. With that understanding I now have to say... nonsense. The only way to spin the CB like a clock as seen from the shooter's position is to elevate the butt with an off center (left or right) hit. Twisting the cue has zero effect - except to make your stroke wonky and unpredictable.
