Following Through your Shot in Pool

Video Transcript

"Hi, in this first clip I'm going to show you the follow through. Follow through on the cue ball. Alright the follow up. The follow up might be played because you say you're playing straight pool, which is a game where you consecutively run balls. Say you have this shot and you want to play the ten next. So you have a situation where you have the eight in the side and you want this cue ball to follow up. You want it to keep rolling so that the cue ball stays over here so you can have the ten in the corner. To do that you would hit this cue ball, here's dead center where the spot is. You would go a little bit higher than dead center and you would hit through the ball. You would follow it up. That causes this ball to, when it hits to keep spinning because, it has a top spin and it keeps spinning and follows through and goes in a position where you could have the ten ball. It looks something like this. Here's dead center. I'm going to go a little bit higher and I'm going to follow through. And you see, the ball rolls forward and you have a nice shot for your ten ball. That is follow up on the cue ball."
