You may also apply a little English or adjust the butt angle of your cue to perform swerves and jump shots. By holding down the Shoot button you may adjust a sliding bar to adjust the strength of your shot. A large black bar will result in a much stronger hit of the ball while a tiny slot allows you to carefully stroke the ball with precision. Once you let go of the Shoot button a colored power lever will constantly move up and down within the black bar. A further tap of the Shoot button determines the strength of your shot.
