This is extremely useful. This shot comes up ALL THE TIME!

I love pool content like this. Awesome cueball motion visualization stripe as well.

You sir are way better than I. Although I watch the best in the world and they always take the simple straight angles and table flow. BTW by no means am I saying it's not a great way to get out of certain situations but playing to get to the end the of rack I prefer a more straightforward approach. To each his own. The main thing I think is to be open minded.

Top right is also an option if you have traffic (playing 8 for example), but that requires a more precise hit and doesn’t come into shape zone nicely like the outside draw. I’ve told players to be comfortable with both options depending on the lie of other balls.

I would of put a slight touch of screw on the cue ball and depending on whether or not the baize had any nap, I'd also put a small amount of check side on it to slow it down off the baulk cushion. Suffice to say the simplest shot is the best shot as there is less risk.

[paulmcdonald]

Usually can only shoot this shot when you are low on balls due to amount of travel. Great shot to know. Just my opinion

[anthonyobermier]

How about practice both just because you might have to. Both shot have a possibility of going bad.

I seem to always scratch in the top left from over doing the draw

[PossiblyAnIrishman]

Any objection to just playing the one rail with a quarter to half tip left added to the follow?

[drewdrew]

It can be useful but can also pose it's own problem. Truth is there is a few different ways to gain position on the 8 and you should know them all.

[Yamayeehaw]

Bold of you to assume my table has good enough cloth and bumpers to bounce 3 times

[BokaoLingo]

I feel like that table has a slope..which is why the cue ball got hooked

[therealthreadkilla]

Or, better yet, don't get stuck in that position.

[olddirtybooger]

If the table is crowded, play inside short lines, if the table is empty, play outside runs off the rails.

When you get good, play center, and run rails. I've went 5 cushions on the 3 ball. Then never touched a rail for the rest of the rack.

No..not with this angle.. your fisrt idea is better in 2 rails with a following right spin.. this is easier to play a following shot than a draw shot..
