The Tangent Secret: How to ALWAYS Control the Cue Ball

Welcome back to the NSSP "From Zero to Hero" masterclass series! 🎱 Today, we are unlocking the ultimate secret to flawless position play on the pool table: The Tangent Line. If you want to know exactly where the cue ball is going after contacting the object ball, you absolutely need to understand this concept. In this comprehensive billiards tutorial, I explain the tangent line (the 90-degree rule) in a very simple, yet highly detailed way. I will show you practical examples without using any side spin (english), perfectly demonstrating how the cue ball reacts using a pure stop shot, a follow shot (top spin), and a draw shot (bottom/back spin). Mastering the tangent line will completely change how you plan your runouts and navigate the table! 👇 🎱 Subscribe to @nssp75 for more weekly billiards masterclasses! ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 - The Tangent Secret: Introduction 1:32 - Visualizing the Angle (The Ghost Ball & Shaft Method) 4:09 - The Natural Path (Rolling Shot without Spin) 7:43 - Example 2: Understanding the Natural Path on Cut Shots 11:32 - Why 45 and 90 Degree Angles are the Most Important 14:00 - The 90-Degree Rule (The Stop Shot) 16:36 - Comparing the Natural Path vs. Stop Shot 18:36 - Changing the Path: The Draw Shot (Back Spin) 22:50 - Changing the Path: The Follow Shot (Top Spin) 26:06 - Why the Tangent Line is Essential in Straight Pool (14.1) 30:25 - How to Practice the Tangent Line 32:25 - Final Thoughts & What's Next 🏆 PROUD JFLOWERS AMBASSADOR & MY GEAR Get your own JFlowers gear here: https://jflowerscues.com/ref/Not_So_S...
