I believe I would show it to the opposite sex, not my buddies....but what do I know
If you have a big BIG draw then it would be handy in straight pool to plow through
a cluster and not get stuck to another ball.

Somebody finally understands me! :grin:
Do you need to be able to draw a cue ball 2 table lengths?
Of course, you see it in pro matches all the time.
If you can do that, then you know you have a good draw shot. That's good to know. Do you need it a lot? No.
A thing of beauty
When I see SVB or Earl execute a power draw, when the ball finally bites and turns, IMHO it is the most beautiful shot in pool and if I could do it I would fulfill my lifelong dream of having perfect mechanics. That is after approx 67 years of trying (on and off)

Being able to draw the ball to a precise spot from a distance is more important. Most decent players could probably draw up and down table if they put the cue ball a foot away from the object ball but there are other things far more important.
It's primary value would be on a bet if you can talk anybody into it.

IMO, it's a good tool to have in your box.
I have lots of tools that I seldom use. Having said that, it's nice to have it when it's needed.....regardless of how rare the occasion.

Siming Chen can execute the power draw as accurately and as impressively as any of the men pro players.
The "don't draw your rock" is a thing of the past.
In today's world, with the fast felt, livelier cushions, better quality CB's and OB's, high tech tips not to mention, better air conditioning, a person don't need SVB's stroke.

Finally someone mentioned table conditions. On worn, dirty cloth, a lot of your backspin wears off before the CB gets to the object ball...when the object ball is far away that is.
I can put an object ball 6 diamonds away, and draw back to the head of the table. When my stroke is good anyway. That's more then enough for me.

It isn't the distance of the draw so much as one can use the power to separate balls to create a shot. I have used it quite a bit in 8 ball, there being such a higher instance of balls clumped together.
