I'm having problems miscueing on my draw shots. I've been drawing foe 42 years. I know how it's done. This miscueing started about about a year ago when I bought a few new cues that were of much better quality than what I had been using.
I've been thinking maybe the tips were too hard, then I was told if you can draw you can draw. It doesn't matter if the tip is hard or soft. I'm also aware that the tips I am using are quality ones.
So now I'm thinking it's my simonis 760. I know the pros used it for a year before they told simonis it was too fast and simonis gave them 860. Every cloth I've ever had on my table was too slow IMO so I put 760 on it about 7 years ago.
There must be something wrong with the air in my basement because it was never very fast. Not even on the first day. I'd watch matches on TV and the 860 the pros were playing on was much faster. It is, however, faster than any other cloth I've ever had.
Now I'm thinking, maybe in order to make it fast they had to cut back on friction, and maybe you're not supposed to be able to draw well on 760. Maybe my draws would go twice as far on 860 with the same hit put on them. Maybe with the higher capabilities my new cues afford me along with my frustration at the lack of distance I'm getting, I'm trying unrealistic Mike Massey type draws and that's why I'm miscueing.
So now you're saying, "Why are you asking us, you knucklehead? Get to a poolroom and see for yourself if the ball draws better on 860." As I've stated in a few previous posts; I'm kinda bashful. That's why I'm asking you.
