How to Aim for a Thin hit with 'Inside English'

[mr3cushion]

Meaning playing a shot contacting the OB Thin on the 'Opposite side' of the English being applied.

Applying 'Left Hand English' and contacting the OB with variations of a Thin Ball with 'Right Side of the OB.

What are you aiming with?​

How and what spin to aim at the target is another debatable question. Do you aim the cue ball at the target, to imagine a ghost ball at the object ball, or do you aim the cue tip at the target? For me, I believe the latter is more accurate, for the simple reason that the player is holding the cue in their hand. This is what you have complete control over, not the cue ball. Aiming the cue tip at the target will give the player a more precise way of contacting a specific portion of the object ball. There is an exception to this rule. If the player is trying to contact the object ball extremely thin without or as little English as possible, then you aim the edge of the cue ball to the edge of the object ball.

I shoot this shot in pool a lot. For some reason it comes easy to me. Great pos. shot that comes up in 9b a lot.

Yes in 9 ball going 2 or 3 rails for position.

This is actually really great, thanks. Even watching countless hours of videos, it's hard to actually 'see' a thickness of a shot the way the pro player does.

If you made even more of these examples, I'd happy learn from them.
