THE USE OF SIDE

Swerve is Not True Side

Deviation Due to Side

Strength Affects Side

Side as a Last Resort

The vital point is that unless you thoroughly grasp what I have already told you about the action of side, you are extremely likely to make all sorts of mistakes when you attempt to use it.

Your ball will curl away, especially if there is a fairly heavy nap on the cloth, and you may think that the ball is rather foul, the table out of truth, or that you yourself are cueing badly.

Really, it always happens when you use side in the manner I have described, except when your ball has so little table space to cover before hitting the object-ball, that the "curl" has insufficient room to take effect.

When, however, you play at strengths greater than those I have previously specified, your ball will travel straight no matter how much side it has on it. But, mind, this must be true side imparted by a free swing of your cue with the butt kept well down. Then, if you play a fast shot, your ball will keep straight in spite of any amount of side. But if you raise the butt of your cue in the endeavor to strike your ball hard and put on a lot of side, you will set up swerve effect, and the harder you hit the greater the swerve.
