are you saying that the new cue he has is a Cuetec by Allison? :grin:
The main problem, as mentioned many times before, is that you are not delivering the tip of the cue low enough on the cueball on the final stroke.
If you don't want to fix your stroke, or just don't know how right now, here's a shortcut that might help:
When you take your practice strokes, aim the tip right where the cueball touches the felt, and on your final stroke, try to hit that same point.
Normally, the cueball would go flying off the table if you actually contacted the cueball there, but since during your final stroke the tip is moving upwards, starting out by aiming TOO low should compensate for it and you should get better draw.
This is a band-aid fix though, and you should work on getting your stroke to deliver the cue to the point where you are aiming either by practicing the methods described by the other posters who are giving excellent advice, or taking a lesson from a good instructor, but it will at least show you what is possible when the tip is delivered to the correct spot on the cueball.
Best of luck.

I was working on draw shots last nite. I didn"t read every post but i have not seen anyone mention about following through on the cue ball. Make sure you stroke through the ball. If you are only hitting the cue ball low you still may not be able to draw the cue ball.
thanks guys for passing by .................
I was used very bad cue and chalk i don't know its brand .... BUT in the beginning i didn't expect the problem is in my cue I just think about the cloth
anyway I bought good cue with good tip and master chalk and i can draw well but if the OB is far away from CB i can't draw well maybe i need some practice ..................

you'd better be practicing correctly. otherwise Travis Trotter would definitely kick your butt, 5-0 . :thumbup: :thumbup:
If you're still having problems try this.
Place the balls about 30cm apart. When you stroke through the shot imagine that you are stroking to hit the object ball at it's low point. Stroke your cue striaight through the cueball trying to hit that low point on the object ball with your tip. Of course you're not going to stroke that far through the ball, it's an imaginary point to aim at. Keep it a medium speed and try to keep your stroke smooth and follow through.

are you funning us?
If there are no instructors near you are there any pool players?Are there any pool players who can draw the cue ball back consistently?

I don't know if this is going to sink in or not, but I will give it a shot anyway. THERE IS NO MAGIC WAND IN POOL! If you insist on laying the cause of your problem on the equipment you use, you will NEVER be able to fix the problem. Everything that happens on the table is a direct result of something YOU do. Until you understand and accept the fact, you are going to struggle with any improvement.
If you aren't the cause of a problem, there is no way you can fix it. If you understand that you and you alone are responsible for everything that happens with your shot, you can learn to correct the problems. It's like in AA...the first step is to admit you have a problem.
