How to Pot Wide-Angle Balls Off the Rail When an object ball is close to the rail at a wide angle, standard aiming often fails. The secret is using opposite side spin (check side) in the direction of the pocket. The Technique: Add a little opposite side spin to increase your success rate. The Rule: If the pocket is on the left, use right-side spin. Long Tables: For small angles on long tables, use bottom English with natural spin. #billiardschallenge #snookertips #viralreels #foryou #8ballpool #
