Answer to:
How can I put back spin on the ball? There are two types of screw shot. the first is the slow screw where the cue ball is made to travel back up to 8 inches or so. the second is the deep screw shot, where the cue ball is required to travel more than one or two feet to its desired position (in a straight line) Whilst I agree hitting the ball low and hard will achieve either type of screw shot, you will get varying results every...

Answer to:
How do I bank a cue ball in pocket pool using the dot method? "The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection" The above is quite true though note that pace is an important part of the bank shot or "double" as is the term in snooker.

If the cue ball is too close to the rail, I use a flat open bridge on the wood rail gliding the stick across the top of my hand. Should I also glide the stick across the top of the rail cushion? A flat open bridge is correct, though the thumb should still be "pinched" up to the index finger. Raise the butt of the cue by 5-10 Degrees so as the cue tip has a better chance of making a fuller contact on the cue ball correctly. Playing flat to the table may result in more mis-cues than you would like as the cue tip has less of the cue ball to hit.

What is the best way to pocket a ball that is frozen to a rail? If there is a best way, would you use this method for all angles of approach with the cue ball to the frozen ball? Simple answer: the object ball and cushion must be hit at exactly the same time. this applies to all angles exept dead straight! slight deviation will not pocket the ball, but the shot is not as difficult as it presents itself. you just have to judge the correct contact that will hit both the cushion and the object ball at the same time. If played successfully the object ball will...

When buying a used PS2, are there any versions/models that I should avoid?
