Aiming the Massé Draw Shot

If you don't have the massé draw shot in your arsenal, maybe this method will change that. Paying attention to where your cue/stroke is pointed (in relation to the ob) is an easy way to develop consistent aiming for these types of shots.

The same method works for jump draw/massé shots, where you have to jump over an obstructing ball in order to get position on the next shot.

Good shot to know, and a good, clear presentation. A couple of comments:

1. I think the reason there's no visible squirt is because the masse spin on the CB as it's driven down into the surface counteracts it.

2. You seem hesitant to call it a masse shot because there's no obvious curve in the CB's path, especially on its way to the OB. Maybe "after contact masse" is the phrase you want.

3. The same technique (with a little more radical sidespin) can be used to move the CB to the other end of the table for shape - then the masse is much more visible.

Thanks for the time and effort,

P.S. If anybody's interested in how to aim "normal" masse shots, here's an old thread about that:
