The Draw Shot in Pool

Video Transcript

"On this next clip I'm going to show you the draw back shot. Okay, the draw back shot. Again, the same shot, I'm just trying to show you, real simple shots here just to get an idea of how to use the basics. This is cue ball positioning basics. You know 101. So here you would draw a line through this ball, through the ball, we'll see. If you draw a straight line and you mark it. This is where you have to hit that ball for it to go in there. Again if the line was here and I hit this ball here, It's going to go that way. But you see, you put the ball through here. If I hit that ball there. So from this cue ball to there you want to do the same thing. Now the draw back shot is not hitting center. It's when you hit low and you have to hold the stick back. You want to actually, I want to show you. When you hit the ball it's going to look something like this. Here would be follow though, when you follow through with the ball. You're going to pull back. As soon as you hit it you're pulling back. That's going to cause this ball to under spin, so that when it hits any object it's going to come back. Again being the draw back shot, here's dead center, we're going to go a little bit lower and by hitting the four on the side it's going to bring this cue ball back for any shot I might have over here and need. It looks something like this. You'll see, that's how it draws back, that's your draw back shot and come back. I'll show you the next clip. "
