Would You Draw Back Here?

In the past you have said that you have trouble with long draw shots. That could be due to a flaw in your fundamentals. In the absence of checking those, create your own progressive practice for the shot.
 
One more thing, due to the close proximity to the cushion, the shot is very sensitive to the degree of lateral spin. Horizontal draw as Island Drive puts it.
 


In this layout would you just draw back - a little low right - for the 5B in the lower right corner?

I struggle with this shot. I usually hit it too hard and end up with a bad angle on the 5B.

I hope this PNG works.

A little off topic. I noticed that website your using. I was just curious if there is a feature to just randomly drop 9 balls on the table all at once, to practice pattern play?
 
This is probably one of the key shots in pool because it comes up in nearly every rack and additionally it is one of the hardest positional shots to master properly with all different angle, speed, draw, english and table condition combinations. As stated above, I agree that you should check your mechanics with an instructor or post a video of your stroke for flaws and inconsistencies.
