I have been in many situations where i have played opponants onto the cushion, and they were able to put backspin, or even stun on the ball. I think that when up against the cushion, the backspin should be eliminated, or at least reduced. this would increases the effectiveness of safety shots, and make a more interesting game. Also, a similar thing applies to chinese snookers, theres no way that you would be able to get a clean strike from infront of a ball. Is there anything that you can do? Thanks
