Left English
English is the term used by pool enthusiasts for the side spin of the cueball after it has made contact with an objects ball. You can perform it by hitting the ball slightly off centre or hitting it harder. English can be combined with bottom and top spin.

Because of this, their shots might end up being wide.
Reverse English
