You can only utilize "english" by hitting the object ball exactly where you are aiming. In any other case, you are not actually controlling the english.Because this is true, then the absolute best training for you is a stroke trainer. One must have an excellent stroke in order to always have the cuetip hit the cueball at the desired EXACT point, with the EXACT desired force.
Once this is achieved, "english" does not have to be learned...it just happens. All one can control is how hard, where, and on what plane to have the cuetip contact the cueball. The rest is just physics. The only reason people groan about learning "english" is because they have a poor stroke, and do not understand this basic fact.
As far as anyone advising you to go see at a bar, I strongly disagree. Anyone that volunteers information about your game is obviously not a high caliber player or professional, for such players would never do such a thing without being asked, and if you do ask, these players will generally give a few solid words and then try to carry on.
The most devastating thing for up and coming players is to get terrible advice from players who think they can play but really are just adequate. (Especially about the rules).
Whats the min. square footage needed in a room to shoot a good game on a 8ft table of pool?
i agree with enigma - talk to 10 people about an aspect of your game and you will get 12 different answerssadly a dvd isn't much help either since it can only show you what you should be doing and can't help with what you are actually doing
my advice is to get a coach - someone who can both explain what youi need to do and then watch what you are doing and identify where you are going wrong. My coach is Robby Foldvari, 3 times World Billiards Champion. If you look at noticeboards or ask the staff at your local halls you should be able to find a local coach.
