The name “english” stuck (for any shot using spin on the CB, especially sidespin). People were impressed with these new “English” shots. He gave exhibitions showing spin shots previously not possible. Here’s the most common story: An Englishman visited the US soon after leather tips were invented. Why do Americans call “side” or “sidespin” “english?” “ SAWS – Part 2: Sidespin Terminology” (July, 2019).The spin is in the direction that results in “rolling” along the cushion during contact.įor more information on specific topics, see: Running english (AKA “ natural english“): sidespin that causes the cue ball to speed up after bouncing off a cushion, also resulting in a wider (longer) rebound angle. The spin is in the direction opposite from the “rolling” direction along the cushion during contact. Reverse english (AKA “ hold-up” or “ check” english): sidespin where the cue ball slows and has a smaller rebound angle after hitting a cushion (i.e., the opposite of “natural” or “running” english). For example, when the cue ball strikes an object ball on the left side, creating a cut shot to the right, left sidespin would be called “outside english.” Outside english (OE): sidespin created by hitting the cue ball on the side away from the direction of the shot (i.e., on the “outside” of the cue ball). For example, when the cue ball strikes an object ball on the left side, creating a cut shot to the right, right sidespin would be called “inside english.” Inside english (IE): sidespin created by hitting the cue ball on the side towards the direction of the shot (i.e., on the “inside” of the cue ball).
