excuse me
well if you listen to scott lee to help your game i would like to play you too .9-ball or 10-ball how far are you from syracuse?This thread is 99% nonsense so far. The only thing you have to do to get maximum spin is have a well chalked tip and hit the cue ball near the miscue limit (about halfway from the center to the edge). All the rest of this is fairy tales (except a few pieces of advice that can help you hit the cue ball accurately, like having a smooth stroke and a good followthrough). Whenever you ask a technical question like this on AzB, you'll get a mountain of trash to sift through for the real info. It's the drawback of an open forum. Sorry, but you'll just have to learn who the knowledgable posters are.
One good rule of thumb is if you can't immediately see why something makes good sense, it probably doesn't. Pool concepts are simple.
And you should definitely listen to Scott Lee. He's one of the few in this thread that really knows what he's talking about.
