Howdy
my question is twofold,1st I can draw the cue with the best of them up close BUT I have seen folks draw from almost the head rail to the foot rail can I get any advice on this?
2nd I am disabled and have little to none shoulder strength is there any way to learn Masse like this?
Thanks

As Neil shown up, on a draw-shot it depends on how fast you re able to accelerate through the cueball. All strokes with *much action* (like draw-shots, force-follow etc. ) need a good stroke-quality. And for this a straight stroke is needed. I bet you ll agree with me, that you ve already seen many guys who re hammering on the cueball if they re trying to make a *big draw-shot* over a greater distance...- and for sure you ve seen also guys where it just looks *easy* with much less power ^^ it s just acceleration, with a straight stroke and with the cue as parallel as possible.


The Massee is hard to describe- but as Neil wrote, you usualy need absolutley no shoulder-action.
