What exactly is "pinning" the ball.
Once you choose the spot on the CB you want to hit, the part of the tip you'll use is a given - you don't have a choice.I believe it's just hitting the CB exactly where the shot calls for, with the correct part of the tip and at the perfect speed........and all this makes a distinct "pinning" sound.

That makes sense, but the cue's angle (like the contact spot and speed) is also determined by what you want to do to the CB, so there's really no choice there either.bdorman:Once you choose the spot on the CB you want to hit, the part of the tip you'll use is a given - you don't have a choice.

With the minor exception that cue elevation effects the part of the tip that contacts the CB.
lolPersonally, I just try to make sure I hit the CB. Has anyone ever "whiffed"? Strike one!
No aiming in this thread yet...Sh1t I was unknowingly sucked into an aiming thread.

I'm thinking you will need a very sharp pin !!!
:yeah:
CJ Wiley uses that term, likely a part of his TOI system
Pinning is a slang term that we "Road Players" used to describe when someone was accelerating the edge of their tip precisely at impact.
This is not easy, and requires some diligence and training. It's very difficult to see this happening, however, you can hear it distinctly. ...Efren's cue sometimes sounds like it's broken sometimes he does it so well....
Can you explain what the part in blue means?Pinning is using the edge or shoulder of the tip to strike the cueball... Cueing angle and control of the cue to hold an incline or decline as it moves on plane are requirements...
The only way to use the edge of the tip is to hit the CB far from center. How does "pinning" work with that inescapable physical fact?...using the edge of the tip for PINNING
