Cue Ball Control Cheat Sheets

At the practice table, you will need paper reinforcement rings (get them from any office supply store) to mark ball positions to be set up. The shoot the shot several times until you can easily get the expected results. As you gain greater mastery of the cue ball, you will become a tougher and more dangerous player.

Clock System
When you look straight at the cue ball from the viewpoint of the cue tip, use the image of a clock to determine the different types of spin. In the example below, the lines show 1:30, 3:00, 4:30, 6:00, 7:30, 9:00, 10:30, and 12:00.  For simplicity, only cue tip positions for 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 are shown. 
NOTE: ALL shots with spin are EXACTLY 1 cue tip above center. If you are not getting predicted results, move the cue tip further out from center.
