In Pool: Does english change the path of a que ball after making contact with an object ball?
In a book I read ( Robert Byerns) Advanced Techniques in Pool and Billiards, it says that english only slightly effects that path that the que ball takes after making contact. It says that english actually effects the path the que ball takes after hitting a rail. My friends disputed this with me. I would like some additional feedback.
Byrne's pretty much right. If you shoot a straight in shot with english, the cue ball will carom off a bit in the direction of the english. So there is some effect, but not a lot.
The cue ball path after contact is altered more by follow and draw (top and bottom spin). English more dramatically affects the cue ball path off a rail. It's due to the relative alignment of the spin direction, friction, and the linear movement of the cue ball.
