Lõikehaavlid

Lõikehaavlid, also known as cutting shots or scoring shots in English, are a fundamental technique in many sports, particularly those involving projectiles like billiards, pool, and snooker. The primary objective of a lõikehaavlid is to strike the cue ball in such a way that it contacts the object ball off-center, imparting a spin that causes the object ball to travel at an angle to the path the cue ball would have taken had it hit the object ball dead-center. This angled trajectory is crucial for positional play, allowing the player to control where the cue ball ends up after the shot, setting up subsequent shots.

The execution of a lõikehaavlid involves precise cue ball control. The point of contact on the cue ball is not the center, but rather to the left or right of the center, depending on the desired direction of the object ball. This off-center strike introduces sidespin to the cue ball. The amount of spin and the angle of the shot can be manipulated by varying the point of contact on the cue ball and the angle of the cue stick. Mastering lõikehaavlid requires significant practice and an understanding of the physics involved, including how spin affects the cue ball's path after it strikes the object ball and how the object ball deflects. Different types of lõikehaavlid exist, categorized by the degree of angle they produce and the amount of spin imparted.
