For a great game, it is important to know how to properly speak English in pool. Although mistakes are possible when speaking English, you can learn ways to rectify them and win more matches.

You can also learn how to play the Call-shot game.

Right English

The right English is a shot that causes the cue ball to travel the opposite way from its normal trajectory. If executed correctly, the shot will cause cue balls to travel left, right and backwards. A normal shot will follow a straight line. English allows you the freedom to alter the trajectory by employing a variety if techniques. This shot, which is also known by the American deflection (or squirt), is more popular in the United States.

Left English

English is a term used by pool enthusiasts to describe the side spin produced by the cue ball after it makes contact with an object ball. You can either hit the ball slightly off-center or harder. English can be combined to make top and bottom spin. Side spin can also be called English by some players, who are currently learning the skill. Although most players are able to use English to improve their shots and practice, they don't know all the terms. The result is that their shots could end up wide.

Reverse English

Reverse English in pool refers to a shot where the cueball makes a side-spin (or deflection) while on its route to the target. This shot is very useful in matches because it can help align your cueball with the target and stop it from drifting too far to one side or the other.


Call-shot game

The pool call-shot is a popular variation on traditional pool. The shooter chooses a pocket before making a shot and must indicate this choice to his opponents. Additionally, the shooter must decide between solids and stripes. The shooter makes a decision and calls the 8 ball.

Scratched object balls

Scratched object ball are balls that aren't legal to touch with the pool cue. They can scratch the pool table. However, if the ball is in a hole, it will stay in place. However, if the ball hits another object ball, or if the cue ball strikes a corner of the table, it will cause a scratch.

Drawing stroke

English pool has many drawing strokes. A draw stroke requires that the cueball reverse its path after hitting a ball. It is best to use a level cue, loosely gripped and with the tip of the cup down. Players will vary in the amount of force required to achieve the desired effect. A professional player might break at 36 mph, while an amateur can achieve the same result by breaking at half the speed.
