Billiards is a wonderful game that a huge number of people love. Someone plays well, someone a little worse, but everyone wants to learn some special techniques that will surprise others and demonstrate the player's professionalism. A striking example of this is the screw (twisting the ball). This technique looks very impressive, doesn't it? What is his secret?
Instructions
Step 1
In billiard terminology, there is such a thing as a screw. It means a stroke in which a spin is imparted to the cue ball or object ball. Hence the concept of "screwing" or "twisting", that is, to give the cue ball powerful and only lateral rotation.
Step 2
Screw applications
Once again, we recall that screws are called blows, when the cue ball or an aiming ball seems to spin like a top around a vertical axis. Basically, screws are used to change the trajectory of the cue ball rebound from the side of the table. In addition, the screw affects the trajectory of the aiming ball cue ball after the moment of their collision. It is extremely difficult to describe all the effects of the screw, but it is even more difficult to use this technique in practice.
Step 3
To understand the basic effect of a screw, do the following. Rub the cue sticker thoroughly with chalk and make a couple of medium-power screw blows, while directing the cue ball at a right angle into the board. If you move the point of impact of the cue ball on the cue ball a little to the right, then this will be the "right screw", while the cue ball, upon returning from the board, will return not to its original position, but a little to the right. By shifting the point of impact to the left, you will receive a "left screw", respectively. If you land an accurate center shot straight into the board at right angles without using a screw (point the cue exactly to the center of the cue ball), the cue ball will return straight to the starting point.
Step 4
If you have already mastered the screws in the side, proceed to the screws on the sighting ball, which is approximately in the center of the billiard table. When experimenting with screws, you may find that you miss a lot more often than when you use normal punches in the same position, but without using the screws. This proves once again that it is extremely difficult to learn accurate blows with propellers. Many high-level players play their games without a single blow with a screw.
Step 5
If you are a beginner, then do not use screws unless absolutely necessary. An exception can be a situation in which the cue ball and the object ball are very close to the pocket, that is, in this case, the range of error is very wide.
