best video about Draw Shot evaaaa, thank you FX!!! You're the best!!!

[davebedwell]

Thank you for confirming what I thought all along including shorter bridging for more accurate cue ball control. Not super close bridging, but closer. Thanks again

[mikeandalicescott]

Great stuff, Bryan! After watching a lot of pros on Youtube and noticing every single one of them dropped their elbow on draw shots (most pros drop it on every shot) I incorporated an elbow drop into my draw shots, and it works like a charm. Thanks for the great video!

[poolflorian]

That’s a great video with all FACTS FACTS FACTS FACTS FACTS FACTS

[adamadler]

Great lesson again Bryan. I agree with all five points you made. It is kinda funny how people blame the cue 90% of the time instead of understanding what THEY did wrong on the shot.

[richredd]

I would like to confirm... It sounds counterintuitive for a long draw shot, but if you don't have a perfect stroke a shorter bridge is more accurate and actually works well... Also want to add, ramp up your speed in a smooth stroke and follow through... Don't try to put all your speed in the beginning of your stroke... You'll be much more accurate... Thanks... Keep up the great vids...

[stevesesto]

You’re a great teacher. You break it down into such easy terms that a beginner like me would understand. Thanks so much for these videos and please keep them coming

[nickbonvino]

I was notorious for the death grip for a long time… now that I’ve loosened it up it’s a whole new world at the table! Per your advise in previous videos! Thank you

[trevorsmith]

Perfect! Explanation B. Thanks for addressing this for all the beginner to intermediate players or just anyone that's curious on why there not as consistent as they could be on the long draw shots. And yes the shaping of the tip plays a big part for anyone that's curious.

[briandoerge]

Good info. This is a constant battle for me

[jeremyparris]

Great info, and all 100% correct. (I'll preface this by saying I do have a good long distance draw when I do it right) Two other factors that get me sometimes are grip hand position and wrist tension (which you touched on). If your grip hand is in front of your elbow at cueball contact, your tip is moving downward and the butt is moving upward. So (1) you're hitting lower than where you aimed and (2) the miscue limit rises because the angle of the cue is rising. So make sure you're gripping the cue in the spot where you're at the very bottom of the pendulum stroke at contact, not in front of your elbow.

Wrist tension: tightening your grip or tensing your wrist not only ruins the accuracy of your stroke, it takes speed off of the cue. If you try to throw a ball with a stiff wrist, you'll see what I mean. Then throw the same ball with a stiff wrist and a tight grip. Even worse. So then you try to make up for the lost speed by getting your shoulder and upper arm into the action, and everything goes south in a millisecond. You can get more cue speed and accuracy with a relaxed stroke, loose grip, and loose wrist than you can by tensing up and hitting as hard as you can.

Your videos on the draw shot helped me a lot

[blkmoon]

You're absolutely correct sir! I see to many of my team mates doing this. 😊

[richtubby]

Solid video. You're right about the chalk, Bryan. It's rarely the issue and overuse just messes up the cloth. Using Taom chalk lets me chalk only once a rack.

I use a piston stroke due to my snooker background which does cause a slight elbow drop. Many snooker players do drop their elbows in this way.

The shorter bridge is important for me on power draws and heavy top spins as I lose all accuracy without it. The only thing here is that I have to be careful to avoid making my stroke choppy.

[germ]

Thank you for all of the excellent videos.

[CMarshallD]

I don’t know how to say this but I’ve found that the less I try, the better my draw is.

It’s not a good explanation, but if I’m *trying* everything goes wrong.

I need to relax, soft grip and follow through..

[MIck-]

A few of these faults strike a chord with me, thank you.

[andrijabujosevic]

Thanks men! Great video!
If I can just add one more tip, for the low cast cues (high deflection ones), one very very important thing is also to adjust the cue to look like you will miss the hole, because power shots + high deflection that is transfered to the ball will came up with the miss if you are pointing as for the shorter or slow/medium shots.

[ral]

Not just a tight grip, but for me, I made a conscious effort to "lower " my bridge and results were much different to the good...

[fixitrod]

Low and slow like you're in a 64 Impala dragging the bumper. Lol. Slowing the cue helped me a ton. You mentioned it in a previous video.
