i like the circular draw shot (mainly because it's the one shot i've not been able to pull off)
Lou makes it look easy.

Thats a great shot.. Dont worry I havnt done it yet either
First time using the CueTable tool, easy to use, great! I might be addicted now...
I love stroke shots - here's one of my favorites. I can do it pretty repeatedly on a commercial 8' table or smaller, on a 9' table fast cloth helps, otherwise sometimes takes many tries to get the right blend of draw and english. When I decided to try it and practiced it on a pool table (it was a derivitave of a 3-cushion shot I had learned) I could make it 1 in 5 or 1 in 10, somedays more like 1 in 30, somedays 2 or 3 times in a row, just depended on the day - sometimes you have it, sometimes you don't...
Making the 9 is not necessary, I usually catch 3 rails at least (4 if you count the initial contact) and I'm quite satisfied if I get within a diamond of the corner where the 9 is. A little elevation is helpful.

I remember seeing one of Corey's matches on youtube where he did an amazing draw or force follow shot I can't remember which. A cut shot if I recollect right. Thats what I get for not bookmarking it, the commentators went nuts.

say what.. ?
LOL... Robert, if you have the stroke for your first diagram, you can hit this as well. It is tough on a 9' table, although newer cloth makes it easier. But if you have a decent stroke it's not bad at all to make the ball, get the draw/curve action, and hit the side, end, and other side rail at least - try it, you'll like it...
Here's another one I like - maybe too much... Cue ball about width of a cube of chalk from the cushion, straight in with object ball - no cheating by using the side rail with english... I'm 30% - 50% to make the ball AND get the required draw to get back 1 full table length. On a good day I can shoot this all day long, on a bad day maybe takes 3 - 5 tries. Best I ever did was make the ball and draw back to end rail and back out 3 more diamonds - saw Larry Nevel do something similar 1 handed (absolutely sick), and on another shot freeze the cue ball to the rail and with a more vertical masse-type stroke draw the ball up and back down the table - again, super sick...
