If you have to shoot the length of the table and draw back the length of the table-have you likely missed position getting on the draw shot?

It totally depends on where the other balls are. Sometimes, that is the highest percentage position to go for.

Neil,

I can agree with sometimes.

I guess it's me. I don't have that shot. Hit a ball 9 plus feet away dead straight-and pull it back straight underneath you. Oh-I can sometimes make it-but not consistently-it's almost my last choice. More often, I'll pull the shot offline in trying to power up.

I would hope there was a different pattern that allowed for an easier natural path for shape.

I think I need to develop a better long distance draw shot for the 'sometimes'.


:thumbup:And Neil-you got all the shots. Of course you'd play to that shot. I would too, if I thot it was in my bag of shots to go to. I have more work to do.

The misconception is you need power, way more power than the shot calls for. What is true is you need to contact the c/b very low with accuracy. You really do not need near as much power as you think if your accurate.

As mentioned a 9 footer with new cloth is fairly easy. Bar boxes takes little effort. Table conditions and equipment dictate how much effort is needed no matter what size table.

Instead of thinking power up, just that thought is a stroke killer. It has jerk and slam written all over it. Think about a slow smooth take away and finish your back swing. That helps you start a smooth forward progression. When it starts smooth you get through the c/b with accuracy.

You'll need less power which increases accuracy, its a win win. Try it at more comfortable distances. You know how simple it is to draw table length from a foot away? At 4 feet its still simple. At 6 feet you need more speed but not anywhere near hard. Try that if you like, its easy to note when your using to much effort. You are right though, I'd still rather find a different route if available. Long distance draw shots are not as accurate. Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

Rod-

Thanks for the advice. I'll work on it.

You could be right, but keep in mind it could be a case of the opponent leaving you that shot.
 
Ask yourself this question...

How much forward motion has to be overcome, in order for the reverse spin to cause the Cue Ball to come back to your desired location.
