- Don't buy into stupid slogans like "...draw for show." MORE THAN HALF of your shots as a "skilled" player will be BELOW the center line of the cue ball. Show me a player without a solid draw shot and I will show you a player who does NOT run racks. In this video we go step by step, into how to work your way up to shooting a powerful draw shot, the length of the table.

As a beginner, it is easy to watch your lessons and go straight to trying the advanced techniques. I appreciate you always reminding us to start at our level and to work through our repetitions. Thanks for keeping it real with us.
You got it. Thank you very much for your comments and thanks for watching.
I’m a new subscriber I absolutely love the educational content it’s SUPER helpful. I haven’t shot in 25 years and I’m now getting back into the game again I’m super excited that there’s a digital information highway available with content like this helping people with their shot IQ.
Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing
I usually have a pretty decent long draw, but I had a rather embarrassing FAIL this week. Worst of all, I had ball in hand. Needed to break up a cluster in 8 ball, and had another ball that was blocked from all but one angle....that angle just so happened to set up a draw towards my cluster. Lined it up, felt confident I could draw straight back, hit the cluster, and knew I had an insurance ball too in the event I didn't get any open shots out of breaking the cluster. Felt pretty confident I was out. For the first time in years, I scooped terribly and the CB went flying into the far corner where I was aiming the object ball. Like, slam dunk style....landed right in the pocket from about 6 diamonds away. Missed opportunity to make my mostly blocked ball, missed chance to break up cluster, and gave ball in hand and ultimately a game in which I should have been out. Not gonna lie, this mistake stuck with me for 2 or 3 racks before I could get back in the zone. Any good mental tips for shaking off an unusually bad shot, rack, or even an overall bad night?
Granted I did have surgery the week before and was a bit.... uncomfortable and sore still, and already in a bad mental state about the fact that I kept having to use a bridge on shots I could normally reach. Just usually feel like my mental game is stronger...I golf a lot and shaking off a bad shot in golf in in my opinion one of the most important skills to have.
Thanks for sharing and sometimes when we’re trying an extra powerful DrawShot we flinch just enough to scoop the ball- it happens to everyone. thanks for watching.
Thanks Bryan, I've mostly eliminated scooping the CB, I'll start working on your acid test for draw shots during practice tomorrow.
Sounds like a plan Steve
100% Correct -- It will improve your game!!! Small steps to start, well, because the shorter draw shots are definitely more common. Work your way up to the lengthier draws, it truly gives you a much better feel and a better idea of the end result (cueball position!). Draw shot practice is a must because they are hard to judge. A well stroked ball can easily turn "over-cooked" (more than ya want), leaving you in worse shape than playing a different shot with mediocre result. Absolutely love it Bryan!!!! Be Safe
Thanks and thanks for your comments and your support of the channel. We are about to break 50k Subscribers today, because of viewers like you. Thanks again.
@@FXBilliards A great milestone that will continue to grow. I'm just glad to be a part of it. The sharing of knowledge is a huge part of growth and benefit for interests of this sport. You/your channel plays a big part of it all ---- So THANK YOU!!!!
As I'm a snooker trained player learning deep screwback is an art of itself (take judd trump and his long draw shots) but due to me learning deep screwback from snooker I can only do it with an open bridge rather than a looped one. But still I enjoyed learning from this video as well and have applied the lessons learned in this video!
Thank you very much for watching and thank you very much for your comments.
@FXBilliards no problem at all! I enjoy your videos I watch all sorts of pool learning videos great to see how others approach things and all in all helps you learn more! 😀
Great video. I’m going to the pool hall right now and put in my reps!
Sounds great!
Best explanation of the Acid Test yet. I have been working on my draw shot ,sometimes I scoop it , most of the time I make a nice draw buy more often than not I miss the pocket. Great Video.
Another great video Brian thank you back to practice
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your draw shot videos, still gotta practice my mid game before I can do these beauties. Hope you’re enjoying the World Pool Championship, B! 🤟
You got it. Thanks again.
Draw shots are awesome
Yes they are. Thanks for watching.
Lovin it - work it 👍🏼
Thank you 🙌
Thank you Bryan
And thank you for watching and supporting the channel
It's all in our heads we tense up trying too hard. My grip finger tightens up causing the cue tip to drop. Everything you say is true.
There’s guys on my pool league who can do this shot and often times its a game winner to get the cue ball down to other side of the table for the winning shot on 8 ball. I’m working on improving my distance little by little.
Nice clean up on aisle 2.
Thanks!
Another great video!
Thank you Scott
Thanks Bryan great video thanks .
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again for supporting the channel.
Great vid
Hi Bryan, please teach us your own closed bridge, I really need to copy it.
I’ll put something together for you
Excellent
Thanks
I'll be practicing this today. I think I'll cover my windows first because I know my cue ball is going flying a time or two 😆
You’ll get there
Oke denzel washington..nice tutorial
Thanks for watching and for thinking I look at all like Zel.
I appreciate your videos; thank you. You say a key point is to follow through. Can you explain in some detail what that actually means? You can't mean forcing a follow through after the ball is gone. Is it just to not jerk to a stop? Or is it more: like it's a consequence of something you've added to the stroke prior to the hit? So what is it you do in the stroke prior to the hit to have this desired follow through? And what about your wrist -- do you whip it or hold it relatively fixed or what?
Just like every sport, a good follow-through is important because it forces you to do everything needed to execute properly. And yes, if you don’t follow through properly, it usually means you did not hit the ball properly -so even though the ball is gone, you are in effect doing something wrong prior to that point.
@@FXBilliards I was hoping for more details based on the issues I raised. Or a new video where you focus on your arm mechanics when using strong draw and perhaps some slow motion and commentary.
You mentioned the tip curvered to either a nickel or dime. I'm using a regular cue. So which is better? Tks, Mike
I have played with a dime curve my entire life. Other than my beginner years I did use a nickel curve. Most house cues are a nickel. I recommend a dime - if you go with the nickel you’ll probably graduate to a dime eventually so start with the time.
@@FXBilliards tks for replying. Love the videos.
I can draw table distance, when the two balls are about 4 diamons distance part , but when the distance is 6 to 7 diamonds, draw shots come back only a diamond or two. Gave it up a while back on that, but now inspired to try it again! Hopefully will succeed.
You’re probably closer than you think, - put in your reps. Let me know if I can help in anyway and thanks for watching.
You are probably dropping your elbow. Have a friend record you.
Hi champ.. i hope you can read and reply quick for this answer.. which part of arms you use when back-swinging and forwarding the cue? Is it forearm or upperarm? Hope you read this🙏🏻
It should be primarily your forearm, but if your back arm gets involved, it really isn’t the catastrophe that some people make it out to be.
Hey Brian I was noticing in this video it looks like your grip hand is tight, am I wrong? I really appreciate the time you put into these videos for us but I'm learning how to draw and wanted to clarify how hard to hold the cue. Maybe it makes more of difference with a longer draw shot like your power draw shot you have shown us. Again all help is appreciated. Dave O
My grip hand is pretty loose as I make contact with the ball. I may tighten it after making contact, just to keep the cue in my hand on a power shot.
I’m planning on getting a new tip for my Cuetec cue. Wondering what you’d recommend. Soft, or medium soft. My current tip is hard and I have difficulty with draw and some English. Please let me know. Thanks
I’m an average player getting better.
You should get a soft or a medium, but keep in mind a softer tip does not automatically give you a better, draw shot. I played with medium tips for 20 years because they lasted longer. If it’s not difficult for you to get them replaced regularly go with the soft.
Much appreciated. 👍🎱
Definitely need practice at this. Medium draw OK. Long draw not OK. The long draw doesn't happen much, but it's good to have when it does. Nothing worse than looking at a shot and thinking: "Damn. Straight in. Wish i could pull that cue ball back here.".
You’ll definitely get there just keep putting in the work
@@FXBilliards Thanks! I'll certainly keep practicing (and watching FXBilliards videos)!
What kind of tip do you use do it make a difference hard or soft to make a draw shot.
I use a soft tip or a medium. The difference won’t be noticed with most players and you can shoot good draw shots with even a hard tip.
Hi! I use a stroke similar to a snooker stroke while playing. My cue is touching my pec in order to stabilize the cue. I have heard that this can limit the amount of spin you can get. Do I have to change my stroke form from a snooker stroke and add more space between my cue and body if I want to do an across table draw shot?
In pool we usually recommend a stroke that allows full motion of the cue, but stroke should be a personal thing. If it feels right for you and you can execute the shot then it’s the right stroke. For a little guidance, maybe look at a player who has crossed over from snooker, like Allison Fisher.
I used to hear guys say, "I didn't 'get' any draw. They didn't "earn" any draw.
It’s funny how people that don’t have a good stroke think that it’s a magic trick or some gimmick to it. Thanks for watching.
I can draw table length on a 9ft table only if it has good cloth. If the cloth is worn, I can’t do it.
If you put in enough work, you’ll be able to do it on just about anything- keep it up and thanks for watching
One thing to add, this requires a very good tip on the cue, bar cue, maybe not. At least from my experience.
You should always play with the best tip available, but you can make these shots with a bar cue- with hard tips- even a phenolic, break tip if you have a good stroke. It’s much easier with a quality tip but every shot is easier with a quality tip - as a teen, my long draw shot was developed using bar cues. The stroke is more important than the equipment. Thanks for watching.
My draw is so inconsistent. One second im zippin across the table with draw. The next second i cant draw off a damn ball 2 feet away. Sometimes i aim low, then it stuns, so obviously i didnt HIT low enough. Idk why i do that sometimes
The difference between a Perfect draw shot and not hitting the ball. Low enough is literally millimeters. It sounds like your stroke is not consistent. You’re probably moving your body.
Do you shape dime or nickel?
My playing cue is a dime my break cue is a nickel
Felt vs cloth? You know what I mean....
Both the same but it's all cloth these days. Old guys like me are used to saying Felt but it's "cloth"
@@FXBilliards Sorry to say, most bar tables have Felt, which is thicker and makes it harder to long draw the cue. Bigger tables are all cloth. Also felt stops the balls from flying off the tables on bar tables. Also, I'm very sure I'm older than you, not bragging, but true. Thanks for all your content.
