One of the things that makes 8 ball billiards so appealing is the realistic physics that simulates the movement of the balls on the table almost perfectly. However, to really master it, you need to master how to use spin.

Topspin: When you hit the top of the cue ball, it will roll forward after hitting the object ball or the rail. This spin is often used to push the cue ball into a favorable position for the next shot.

Backspin: Hitting the bottom of the cue ball will cause it to recoil after hitting another ball. Backspin is useful when you want the cue ball to not go too far or want it to stop immediately after hitting.
