How to place spin on a poolball

A cue ball spin diagram is an illustration that shows the relationship between a cue ball's spin and its trajectory. This is useful to aid players in their skill development and improve their chances at pocketing. If you are a beginner to pool, you may not be aware of how much control you have over the ball. There are many expert tips and tricks to make your pool game more enjoyable.

There are many methods to spin a cue ball well. One of the most important is the squirt angle, or the direction of the squirt when the ball bounces. If a ball is not spinning, it will bounce at a shorter angle. But, a cueball with some spin will rebound at longer angles.

Squirt angle is not a true measure of how much spin is present in the ball, but it does indicate the direction of the squirt. For example, a cue ball with a very high squirt angle will move very far in the right direction when it bounces. The amount of spin depends on many factors such as the ball's weight, strike hardness, angle of strike, cushion quality and speed.

While it is not a complex function of impact parameter, the angle of squirt is usually independent of the ball's weight. A lower cue ball strike will result in a greater squirt angle, since the ball is traveling at a slower pace. It is best to strike harder to maintain a small squirtangle.


Cue ball spinning can be either a side, top or bottom spin. The cue ball follows the tangent line during a shot. This is a 90-degree angle from the direction of the object ball. The trajectory of a cue ball is more affected by top and bottom spins that the others. Different cloths or tables can also affect the spin of the cueball.

Although the squirt angle may not be affected by the mass of an object ball, it can still be used to deflect the balls. If the object ball is too close to the ball or is not a suitable target for the shot, the squirt won't occur. This factor is crucial in determining whether a shot will be successful. A good shot will reduce the squirt angle and help the player pocket the ball.

The speed at which you hit the cue ball can determine how quickly it leaves the tangent line. The ball will travel further, but will bounce at a shorter angle. This is why it's a good idea to use a quicker stroke for a left spin, and a slower one for a right.
