Hi all - first post. Anyone have guidance on how to hit a standard cut shot with normal back draw? I am comfortable hitting cuts and draw shots, but when I combine it - I miss at a frustrating percentage. I've researched it and scoured youtube, but no one seems to have trouble making the object ball or offer any methods different than if I were to hit center or top English.


Any thoughts/help?

Thank you my friend.
I'll never steer an AZer wrong.
If you want to learn that snap faster, jack up over the short rail, CB 3 to 4 inches away, and pull the rock back to short rail off an OB 5 to 6 diamonds down table. You'll figure it out real quick. This is a pro level shot to get back to square when there's no lane thru otherwise.
Dude, just how pure does that stroke feel on this shot? It's almost goosebumps!
 
We had to pay for our info back then. Unless you were friends or had a relative. You were lucky if there was a true player in the hall you were in who would play you some cheap and answer questions along the way.
That's mostly how we got our goodies back then.
Nobody read pool books. Heck, we didn't even know there were any. Lol.
Not that we would've read them anyway. Lol.
Pay to play.
Bcuz of that, nowadays I'll answer any question or give a helping hand to anyone who asks - for free. As it should be.👍🏼
I remember learning how to do a proper closed bridge off of a McDermott cue from the pawnshop. One hundred and nineteen bucks(with case). It had a water transfer decal under the clear coat with a 9 ball and a colored drawing of someone making a closed bridge. It's the first time in my life I'd seen a closed bridge. That's how people were back then, unless you went to their home or something the bridge they used out in public was meant to look like garbage. If the locals even saw a proper bridge they would either close their wallets and run, or pretty much have mastered what they saw in a few weeks. It was crazy how secretive people were. Hiding spin by pretending to lose balance... all sorts of crazy stuff.
