this is NOT your problem. besides, wax doesn't last long when you're playing anyway. don't get addicted to waxing the balls. dick lane recommends just a "little bit" of wax in the polisher. i use no wax at all just auto polish. waxing causes too much change in the reaction of the balls. it will not only effect draw it will effect adversely the bounce off the cushion especially if you use follow into the cushion and of course it dramatically effects throw... when you buy a new set of balls, do you wax them before playing? do they wax new sets of balls at national tournaments? no..... forgetabout the wax. just polish and work on your stroke.
As a secondary test. I can place the cue ball close to the object ball and draw it two rails no sweat. The problem is with the drag across the cloth for long distance.
I would not argue with anyone about my stroke. I am an amateur player with an 8 rating on about any scale. The point is, whatever my stroke is or isn't, the response is so different from my table to others. I play at a local bar on a crappy Valley with totally dead rails but the cue ball draws like crazy. I play at our state events on 9' tables and 7' Diamonds, same thing. I draw way too much and have to be very careful.
Even on non draw shots, pocketing a ball in the side and going around 3 rails back to the middle I have to hit harder or with more running English than I would anywhere, except the Valley with the dead rails
