The pros don’t just think about the shot that they’re lining up – they’re thinking one, two, or even three shots ahead. Top-spin can line up the shot after this! But be careful, as too much power and spin can send it out of control and into a pocket! Plan ahead The harder you hit your shot, the more spin will be added to the cueball. Need to get a better angle for your next shot? Think about adding side spin to the cueball and forcing it into an easier position. Is it heading straight towards a pocket? Add some backspin to the cueball and it should stop in its tracks. Pay attention to the guidelines when lining up your shot – as well as showing where the object ball will go, it also gives you an indication of where the white will end up.

The dot represents where the cue will strike the ball: if you want backspin, move the dot to the bottom of the cueball and for topspin, move the dot to the top of the cueball.

You put spin on your shots using the arrow keys or by clicking on the cueball in the corner and dragging the dot into position. Clever use of spin can avoid those dreaded “oops, I sank the cueball” moments, or, better yet, get you in a good position for the next pot. The world’s finest 8 Ball players have learned to master the art of putting spin on the cueball. Use of back-spin will ensure there are no mis-haps with the cueball here.
