I always enjoy your videos forcefollow, please keep posting them on this forum ...

however, in the example you show, where the first object ball is a foot or more from the second object ball, surely it's simply the roll on the first ball that causes it to follow into the pocket ... your main point (which is true) is to hit dead straight but you're also implying putting draw on the cueball transfers top/follow to the first object ball which is very disputable ...

if you want to prove the "spin transfer" argument, place the first object ball say 3 inches from the second object ball so it will naturally be skating as it hits the second object ball so "spin transfer" must have made the shot rather than friction against the bed-cloth causing the first object ball to roll ...

but that's not to criticise overly much ... as I said, I always enjoy your videos, keep them coming

yeah i agree with dandyA.

it would be interesting if he played a stun shot instead of draw to see what effect that would have

Your point is well taken. There are many pool instructors and "experts" that do not think there is a significant amount of spin transfer. There is plenty of debate on the topic. I should have mentioned both points of view in the video. To me the most important aspect of this shot is hitting it perfectly straight. I am glad you enjoy the videos. There will be more to come.
