Back spin is 6 o'clock with flat bridging, curve right is 2 o'clock high bridge, play the cue ball at different clock face would produces intended spin-off. The angle of elevation and power deliver pretty much determine the amount of curve though. I don't particularly like to play english whenever possible, it makes aiming more difficult while most shots can be compensated with forward or reverse spin.

The curve ball, or "half-masse" shot is performed by elevating the butt end of the cue around 45 degrees and striking downward at the cue ball, hitting left or right of center. The two main factors that will determine the path of the cue ball are:
1. How hard you stroke
2. How far left or right of center you hit the cue ball
With some experimentation, you will begin to get a good feel for how much the cue ball will be pushed off line and when it will curve back in the other direction. Bear in mind, there will be some differences in using a heavier cue ball, such as on a coin-op bar table. It's really a very handy shot. Make sure you are utilizing good fundamentals and you follow through on your stroke. Good luck. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

The cue ball will curve if it has extra spin (angular momentum) and much less forward velocity (linear momentum). to try this, develop the back end of your cue and hit down into the cue ball such as you're taking photos it by the slate. you apart from might could prepare facet spin (suitable spin to curl suitable, left spin to curl left). you will could mess around consisting of your preliminary objective factors, quantity of elevation, and means on your stroke to work out distinctive effects of what direction the cue ball starts, how a good distance the cue ball slides and how lots it curves. And consistently get the table proprietor's permission first in the previous practising those photos, considering which you may injury the table.

It is simple mechanics, direct the cue ball will follow its path to stop it apply some back effects, to curve it apply angular effects from the top. the ball will curve in this direction the effect takes place by friction with the cushion

careful aim, and with a hell of a lot of practice.
you nedd to hit the ball a buit to the left-if u wanna curve right- or a bit to the right-if u wanna curve left- and hit it slow to fast. the ball wil spinn in the directon you hit it, causing it to curve.
just dont hit it too far off to the side, you'll end up spinning on the spot.
