Tips For This Shot

Get rid of the OB and focus on getting the draw stroke correct on the CB from a jacked up position. I would get rid of the CB too and just use a striped ball for more feedback.
When I teach someone how to draw or jump I don’t have an OB on the table .. too much brain overload. They have to focus on drawing the CB and making the OB when they don’t have the slightest idea how a draw shot feels like to begin with, same with a jump shot. You first have to know how to jump before you can focus on jumping to make the OB.
I have them learn how to go low and through a striped ball, getting some backspin on it to see what a draw shot feels like before adding an OB.
On this shot just put a striped ball on the table close to the rail, with a piece of cloth under it(burn marks), and practice getting some backspin on it in a jacked position. When you get a feel for the backspin needed add an OB to aim at

Making shot is the worst part for me.

Drawing it back, well, about half the time.

And I agree with others - it is an extremely tough shot for even top level professionals.

PS. I see that idiot u12armresl has posted. Whatever he said is just stupid. There's a reason he is on ignore. The Mods even admitted that he is an a$$hole.

I've offered you help as have a ton of others. You only want to hear what you want to hear and discard the rest as hateful or BS.

Oh and I'd love to see where a mod calls me an a$$hole.
 
How many 100's of times have you practiced this shot? Repetition, repetition, repetition.

If the CB is not on the rail then this shouldn't be that hard of a shot, even 1/2" should do, CB might hop a little. My recommendation is to shoot this shot 100 times and come back with results. At least then we'll know what you're doing wrong.

If CB is on the rail it's a much harder shot but still doable, learn how to shoot through the rail. Just need to practice.

To answer the question that was asked, one tip for this is to be loose in the back hand. You don't need to hit this very hard. Stroke until the tip hits the table with that loose wrist and you will get all the action you need.

Good luck!

I'm not disagreeing with you, but how does a loose grip get more draw on the cue ball?

First off set it up and shoot it many times and tell me if you tend to over cut or, under cut the shot.
With that information I might be able to help.
My guess w/o seeing you execute is your not hitting straight through your chosen contact spot on the cue ball.
I practice a very similar shot such as this to get the needed feedback from my misses to adjust.

You're just going to tell him to push out from there .

This is a very tough shot for me. I think I've asked about this shot years ago but I couldn't find the thread.

Anyway, anybody have any tips on how to pocket the 1B and draw the CB back for the 2B in the corner?

And please, let's assume this is the only possible shot available. Don't try and circumvent here. It's a completely straight-in shot where you are jacked up over the rail.

They're tough for many players. It's not an easy shot. Work your tip, chalk well, shorten up your grip as you elevate and use your wrist. Follow thru is minimal. This is an all wrist draw shot.

You can disagree with me then.:ROFLMAO:
Loose grip allows for the possibility of higher strike speed - an articulated thrust summed to the bicep/tricep thrust.

When you consider the velocity I get from a beer bottle cap with a snap of the finger. It's a Huge factor in a power shot. Give the finger muscles a chance to contribute. 🤷‍♂️
I reflect on my table tennis competition And what power the fingers can provide.

Here's a shocker: fingers have no muscles. Otherwise right you am.

The primary finger muscles include the extrinsic flexors Flexor Digitorum Profundus and Flexor Digitorum Superficialis, which originate in the forearm, and the extrinsic extensors like the Extensor Digitorum, also in the forearm. The intrinsic finger muscles are the Lumbricals, Interossei (dorsal and palmar), Thenar muscles (for the thumb), and Hypothenar muscles (for the pinky finger).

Obviously something has to move them. Some guitar instructor corrected me on that a long time ago. But as I understand it, only tendons make it past the wrist.

A loose grip will help with the follow through and generate the snap needed to create a lot of spin. When you watch videos of Mike Massey or Florian Kohler do monster stroke shots, look at their back hand. Very loose.

Kinda like cracking the whip. Headscratch er or some tin.
Ooops make that The Bitch Slap. Sorry no offense intended.
