Side English: American's call it English. The British call it side. I call it side English to make sure I am understood. It is side spin on the ball. On the right is a diagram in which the cue is imparting left English (as seen from above). The situation is not as simple as shown here, as the ball also starts rolling, and the various spin axes change, causing a small amount of curve in the path of the ball. Side English complicates the game a lot, and makes many shots possible which would not be possible otherwise. The main effect of side English is the angle that the cue ball (and to a lesser extent, other balls) bounces off the rail (see Kicks and Banks - Part II (complications), complication #3). The second most important effect of side English is squirt; the cue ball does not go straight in the direction that the cue is pointing, it squirts off to the side a little. Left English makes the ball squirt to the right. The greater the side English, the greater the squirt. And squirt causes you to miss shots, and is the main reason that the pros tell you not to use side English unless you have a good reason. The third most important effect of side English is Throw. There is also accidental side English, caused by a bad stroke. And other balls gain side English, mainly by banking off rails (but also because of throw).

Putting effect on a cue ball in pool or billiards is called "english" or "putting english". ;)

I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight.

What time would you guys be on?

The main reason I want to do the respec now is because I only put like a hundred hours into the hero planning. If I don't respec now, it will seem as if all that time will have been wasted.

To elaborate, my wife is still feeling the after-effects of a cold we both "enjoyed" last weekend and earlier this week so I may be spending some time with her this evening.

Unless, of course, she understands the primordial role a tanker with Provoke can have in a Respec Trial and the central role Stalemate would play in acquiring and keeping the aggro.

Right guys?

Right?

Any loving wife would certainly understand that!

There may have been a snafu in my grand plans tonight. My sister-in-law has decided to stay over for a 2nd night in a row (what's up with that??!??!!) and she is sleeping on the fouton in the living room. TS with me may be limited during the later hours tonight. I really need an office... which reminds me, what time tonight?

My SG on Virtue (The League of Titans) has a surprising number of actual females playing. At least 8 off the top of my head.... :thumbs:

I'm very dissapointed in you Carb. I really thought the promise of Chinese food was going to get you a little three way action last night. :devil:

Apparently, at being able to gain the upper hand in this discussion even if I'm currently sitting in an express bus and going over the St. Lawrence Seaway as I type this.

I'll give you a 10 second head start to proceed to a strategic retreat now. Screaming like a little girl is optional.

So is your back hurting yet? Metal pipes cutting into ya?
