Using side for certain pots?

Do a lot of you do this as well and is it a bad habit? I find it really strange that potting with side can sometimes feel easier than aiming centre...maybe because I was a pool player first?Last edited by 9outof10; 25 January 2015, 11:48 AM.

How did this turn into 'bash the Canadians'? I don't want to get started on tit-for-tat and start bashing the Brits as I could be here all day and I have a match to play at noon.
Just watch a few episodes of 'Spitting Image' to see what I mean. Especially 'Interesting Steve Davis'.
As for side, I don't agree with using it very much and almost never without a cushion involved but sometimes it's necessary to either get around an intervening ball (in the extreme, masse) but I would never use it to try and improve my position with no cushion involved as I think you can get to the same position if your could control stun/screw correctly.
