I've seen Venom and Tombuzz do this succesfully on Youtube. I went out and tried it and I can't do it, lol.

Larry Nevel also does this in a Youtube video I've watched SEVERAL times.

I've done the 4 or 5 ball resistance draw and it works great, but when I freeze the cue ball to just one ball and try to draw the cue ball, it just pushes through the ball frozen to it.

What's the secret??? Stroke purity? Better mechanics? Power?


For reference here is TomBuzz's website...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWtyPrgn2VA It's a Larry Nevel video.

Check at 3 minutes into this video. Only runs maybe 45 seconds of footage, but clearly evident what I'm looking for, lol. Doesn't look like a foul at first, but his cue may pocket the 8ball. The second shot doesnt look like a foul either, but either way awesome stroke shot.

I was unaware of the possibility of having an ever so slight gap there. I'll keep practicing with that. Can only get better, lol.

Thanks for your input fellas!!!

It's got to be more than tiny. A quarter-inch is about standard for that kind of shot. Be sure to use lots of inside english to avoid the second hit.

If you're currently using a low deflection shaft, you may find it easier to learn the shot by temporarily switching to a high deflection shaft. It makes it easier to avoid the deadly double hit by allowing the cue to be pointed further off-center for the same tip offset.

Frequently - but not always - in these types of close draw or follow shots, there's what Semih Sayginer once described to me as a "small" foul that doesn't affect the outcome. Good luck refereeing a match where this comes up :)
