I was at the poolroom last night and the talking got on the subject of english, best way to hit certain shots etc. I threw into the mix that I had been told by Ray Martin World Champion player that outside english had more effect on throwing a ball and inside english had less of a throw effect. Certain fairly knowledgable players at the poolroom did not believe that at all saying they would throw the same for the same hit same spin rate.
Here is the question if you have a half ball hit ~30 deg cut shot will they be the same throw. They are suggesting outside results in perhaps 33-35 deg with outside english and the cut would 27-28 perhaps less with inside english.
Per Ray Martin the resulting angle is effected very little with inside unless the hit is very thick and even then much less than with outside. Also slow speeds allow the thick hit to be effected some what by inside.
This is not for bank shots only the angle created by cueball contact and left/right spin.
So can inside throw as much as outside or is the throw effect lessened or nill when using inside.
