Below is another example of the effects of english on the cue ball off the rail. This is a good example that very clearly explains the different effects of left and right english on the cue ball when it makes contact with the cushion.
Position A is the result of hitting the cue ball with high (above center) and applying right english. Notice how the use of "right" english increases the angle severely from its normal path.
Position B is the result of hitting the cue ball high and NO english. This is the normal path of the cue ball.
Finally, Position C is the result of hitting the cue ball high and applying left english. Notice how the cue ball reacts after hitting the cushion. Because of the left spin on the cue ball, it bounces to the left and also bounced off the long rail. Also notice that the angle at which it bounced off the second cushion. The left spin produced an increase in the angle of bounce.
Below is a video demonstration of this lesson.
