High-energy potential scattering based on the Schrodinger equation was investigated using Regge poles. When the Watson-Sommerfeld integral is directly applied in the left half-plane, it is not useful at all in order to derive the scattering amplitude but gives a condition which governs the behavior of Regge poles. They are distributed with residues such that their contributions cancel against each other in the nonforward direction, provided that the integral at irfinity is ignored. When Mandelstam's technique is used, the Legendre function of the first kind and the secant in the original W-S integral are replaced by the Legendre function of the second kind and the cosecant, respectively. This allows summation over partial waves more easily than with the conventional series. In high-energy potential scattering one cannot single out an individual Regge pole. The same conclusion follows when Khuri's representation is used.
