What is a "force follow shot"?
A force follow shot is a technique in pool or snooker where the player strikes the cue ball with a bit of extra power, causing it to move forward after hitting the object ball. This is done by hitting the cue ball above its center, creating a forward spin that helps it travel in the direction the player wants, often toward a better position for the next shot. The force follow shot is used to control the cue ball’s movement after potting an object ball, requiring precise timing and strength to achieve the right amount of spin and speed.
