Apologies, a swerve shot. Yes, mass'e, but not extreme english like Venom, it's a small swerve around a ball to make contact, for instance, when one gets hooked by an opponent's safety shot. I'm a 4 and don't often get to play against my level; generally my opp is a 5, and occasionally a 6. I get hooked a lot, and often a swerve shot would be a much better leave for the next shot, or the only option due to table constraints (no bank is available, and I would rather swerve than jump). I agree, I do need to continue to work on my basics. This is not in reference to that, though. I would like to be able to do both... It is a valuable concept just as a draw shot is a valuable concept, you just don't use it every time the occasion arises - it is for the times your basics are unavailable as relevant tools.
thanks to everyone who has responded so far, I appreciate it!
@skor: this is an Ultra-Low Deflection shaft; I have had to adjust for the lack of deflection I used to account for in a wooden shaft.
