Keeping your cue aimed at the center of the cue-ball was covered in the last section. Now it is time to
start aiming a little to the left and right of center. Your cue stick should still be the same
distance away from the cloth, but you are now aiming a cue-tip length away from center. This little
adjustment will have an impact on your aiming and positioning.

In relation to bowling, putting spin on the ball will cause it to curve. Hitting the cue-ball with a
soft to medium stroke on its left side, (9 o'clock), will cause the cue-ball to drift to the left.
It will also effect the action that occurs after the cue-ball makes contact with a rail if the
cue-ball has some left or right english added to it.

Note: I have just discussed the basics of using side english. After practicing drills to understand the
fundamentals of using side you will be ready to dive into more advanced topics. But until then, move on
to 'draw with english', and 'follow with english.'

QuickTips
|
 |
| » |
Chalk your cue well before taking any shot that requires english/side. |
| » |
Make sure that there isn't anyone behind you when you are about to take your shot. |
| » |
Stay down after the shot, you can admire your work just as well staying down as standing up. |
| » |
Don't talk, laugh or chew while taking the shot; small movements of your head could hurt your aim. |
| » |
Find a bridge you are comfortable with and stick to it. Definetly don't alternate using an open and closed bridge on each shot. |
