One good way is to download the virtual pool 3 game demo at http://www.celeris.com/games/vp3/
This is a pool game that uses real physics of a pool table. It has a tracking feature that you can turn on in practice mode. It will show the cue ball path and it will show the path of all object balls that move during the shoot. You can see the tracking lines move as you adjust the english. You can also make an adjustment to the tracking lines as to what speed you hit the cue ball.

theres some stuff we learned at pool school that can help you with this. Get some of those little notebook ring binder stickers (little sticky circles), or if you arent on your own home table, just take a piece of chalk and mark a simple shot (cueball position and object ball position). This allows you to shoot the exact same shot over and over again. Set up something simple like the ob about a foot from the corner pocket, the cueball on the spot with a slight angle. Now shoot the shot over and over with different english. Its incredible how just top, center and draw can change your shape on the table by 8 or 9 foot. The pro pool workout also has some similar stuff in it thats good.
