Low with side spin "enhances" the spin - the low slows the CB on its way to the OB without slowing the sidespin so you get a higher spin-to-speed ratio and more spin "action" off the rail. It's a technique used when you want more spin than you can get by just hitting as far from center as possible.
To get the most "enhancement", you want the low to wear off the CB just as it reaches the OB - this means swerve will be maximized, so your aim must allow for that.

mr science gee a/k/a pji learnt something new. i thought the inside spin helped the cue ball come up more straight towards the 2.5 diamond. didnt think you got any real curve into the balls of the rack. thats amazing.
i always thought the follow inside lets the cue ball "hook" alittle off the stack
so with a more direct angle into the rail the inside would let it come off straighter ending closer to the rail
unless the increase spin to speed with low spin can offset the more oblique angle into the rail
your thoughts appreciated
