Right hand English is a way to strike the cue ball and control where it goes after it hits the pool ball, which sets up your next shot. Shoot the cue ball off to the center of its right side to send it spinning right after it strikes the object ball.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Practice with the cue ball on an otherwise empty pool table. Place it a comfortable distance from a bumper and strike it just to the right of the center point. Experiment with the motion until you know how much right English to put on the ball to get the result you want.

  2. Step 2

    Add an object ball. Using right English, shoot the cue ball into the object ball, then watch where the cue ball travels.

  3. Step 3

    Test your ability to read English by trying to send the cue ball to a specific location after it strikes the object ball.

  4. Step 4

    Continue to practice until you're comfortable reading how much English you need to put on the cue ball in order to place it where you want it. Learning this skill will greatly increase your ability to line up the next shot.

  5. Step 5

    Play a pool game using your new right English skills to control the movements of the cue ball. Perfect your new right hand English skills while you play.
