Here's an update to my years old saga with the subject.
I'm still bad with them. Any instructors offer any help?

Long Straight In Draw Shot

Post a video.
i would recommend personal observation
rather than internet advice for this specific problem
Step 1...learn how to use your phone (Caution: this means you will actually have to leave your house and drive 50 miles to Bloomington). ALL I-phones, even older ones, and any other android phone has to capability to record video...which can be uploaded and posted in a thread here.

Maybe you can get someone to do it for you? If you've been having trouble for awhile, it's best to see what you're doing.
How do you practice this kind of shot?
Seriously? ALL iPhones? Mine is a 3G that I got around Labor Day of 2009.
And I leave the house quite often. A couple of Saturdays ago I drove over to New Washington High School (2 hours 10 minutes) to watch/scout the sectional final game. However, I did get lost both coming and going..

I practice the way Tom Rossman recommended on troublesome shots. Progressively. I set up the OB about 2-3 diamonds out and the CB about a diamond from the OB. I make 5 in a row and then move the CB back a diamond. Then if I make 5 in a row I move back another diamond.
Its when I get far away (4-5 diamonds from the OB) that I start to have real problems.

ps - now back to Perry Mason and my cigar.

from personal experience if ur a healthy male a qualified instructor should have u squared away in an hour or so and ur frustrations will cease Amen
"healthy male"?
How long would it take for a "healthy female"?
Or are women just too inferior to learn?

Hitting the shot too hard kills draw in several ways. Depending on table conditions (and nerves/anxiety) it might mean gripping a LITTLE harder than normal, as a "3" on a scale up to "10" for a long straight draw. For some players, they will need to loosen a bit more and relax a bit more.
If there is room to fudge with aim/thickness of hit--and there usually is, a little TOI will let you pound the ball hard enough to get some awesome draw as well.

He said from personal experience meaning he is a male with no health issues. I gather he had the same problem and an hour with a qualified instructor fixed the issue for him.
It would take the same amount of time for a healthy female if she got instruction from a qualified instructor.....
How far are you trying to draw the cue ball? Do you get better at the shot when you practice this way?
All the way back to the end rail.
And I just started using the progressive idea the last few days.
I was told by one of the greatest players of all time that you can see how your stroke is by noticing how the CB comes back.

Yes, I just responded.
I am headed to the amish restaurant for my late lunch then when I get home I am going to practice the progressive way on this long straight-in draw shot again.
