Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Bottom Spin as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Bottom spin is a method used in position play and for cue ball control to bring the cue ball back or to a stop after striking the object ball. To impart bottom spin on to the cue ball, the shooting player must strike it below the equator. The stopping or roll back effect of bottom spin is caused by the friction generated by the backward spin.
Jim threw a little bottom spin on that ball so that it would draw back after striking the cue ball, and set him up well for his next shot.
