Mr. Boyes, your videos have not only improved my pool game, but also my overall quality of life. Specifically, I cannot stop myself from singing "Pool life, it's the only life we know..." My day brightens up immediately. Also, I cannot take a drag shot without thinking of it as a "cheeky Friday night drag shot." Thank you, sir.

[SneakyMezz]

Big thumbs up for making videos and sharing all of that with us :) also very impressed with Niels chanel!

[MrChrisJ]

I've watched many of videos on this topic and this was the most simple and effective.. . thank you

[mattydolan]

Power draw spot shots? Good Lord!! Quite impressive...

[rydmerlin]

Deep screw is what Corey Deuel did with his famous shot. Loving your videos and personality.

[valad]

You are the most entertaining and pleasure to watch pool coach for sure) Keep’m coming!

[jeffreystricko]

Thanks for the video Karl, you do a great job as usual. Keep up the good work.

[retroguygg]

Love that hat, Karl. Subway series this weekend!

[brianb.]

A great drill and instruction. Thank you.👍😊

[szkm]

G'day Karl, enjoying your videos mate, so informative for us hacks. Really appreciate it. Cheers from Oz

[heremansmarc]

Thanks for the video. Concerning the bridge, many top snooker players, Trump for ex. are able to screw very long shots with an open bridge.

the rule of thumb on a power draw spot shot is, if you can draw it to the first diamond like karl is doing, thats considered very good on worn in simonis cloth. New cloth is about the same because you get more slide but you tend to come higher off of the first side rail, maybe scratch into the adjacent side pocket. It depends on cue ball, red circle tends to come higher than a measle ball.

People say the cb weight is different between the two balls but that's not true, it's the composition of the two cue balls is different. Thats why you get a "heavier" reaction with a measle. Red circle tends to deflect more off of the tangent, giving it a "lighter" reaction.

Now, heres the thing.

Karl himself will admit shane van boening, is much more sophisticated with draw than he is, probably the best hands down.... someone posted a deluna shot, guarenteed, what ever he can do, shane can and probably has more firepower in the tank as well.

Shane's game is so organized over the years, I think many have forgotten how nuclear his firepower is, but its that extra angular finesse i think he has that deluna does not, Ignacio is a major sicko as well, but im positive shane has them beat.

The other guy right up there too, still not quite as good as shane on the draw, but do not ever doubt his ability if it came down to a contest and that is Earl Strickland.

Earl, with a measle ball, can draw hook a spot shot, hit the side rail and then not only get passed the side pocket, but mike gullyassy who is Earl Strickland's cue maker, and I too play his equipment, told me that Earl got it back up table going towards the middle diamond of the end rail and stop the cue ball 1 ft away from the end rail.

That means he is litteraly hooking the draw past the first diamond on the side rail and with a ton of side spin, on a table with 4 and 1/8 inch pockets.

But to die short of the end rail though and of course that makes sense because when a true hyper power draw is executed, most of the stroke speed is going into the backspin which is what I call a thin hit, so the back spin revolutions are very high but the cue ball going forward in terms of miles per hour is slower and that is what you need to do to be able to execute it the way Earl did and I know for a fact Shane can do it as well because I have seen him hook draw half ball shot angles, which means you got to vertically backspin high rpm with a slower mph forward with the CB.

We all tend to line up a little thicker on those shots and add a touch of outside with the draw and then we need a side rail to come off of to get back up table to where we're going, it's one of the most user-friendly shots and pull that we all develop over time just by trial and error, it's a natural tendency in progression, but once you go down that route, and now have it ingrained in your visual and your stroke, it becomes extremely difficult to try to square up your draw because now the visual line will change and it tends to lose its reference point especially with the half ball shot because you're visual line especially if the shot is a hair thinner than a half ball, now references out in space and I myself have put over 3 years into it and still don't have a comfortable grasp on it because I believe the brain likes to shoot at something rather than nothing.... something to dig into.

Shane has no problem with it, same for Ronnie O'Sullivan, that's why they're games are better and more sophisticated, they got those extra abilities in the shot bag because not only can you hook draw shots with thinner angle relationships, but with that square draw, that's how you can really kill the cue ball when you're cutting those angle shots down the rail and so forth whereas low with the touch of outside and gear the ball down the rail, forget about killing the cue ball unless you kind of knuckle slow roll It but that makes the shot very iffy versus square draw with a slow to medium speed that can be consistent every time as long as you understand the different visual line and if that isn't enough, the more sophistication needed in your stroke awareness and delivery, low straight and acceleration, if one of those three are not met, you will miss the shot vs low outside, you can bungle it up three different ways and still make the shot or certainly threaten the pocket and maybe you miss out on cb position but you're still shooting.

For those that try to slip that line on you about low is the same as high and think of it in terms like that, is full of shyte.

Good top spin is another aspect for sure that most people and players don't understand because there was only one player that I knew of who was very sophisticated with the top spin and that was Nick varner... his ability to nail the high side of the cue ball and yet the cue ball adheres to the cloth as if magnetized, but he could also execute the ability while hindered over a ball or rail etc etc, lift that elbow and drop it with a perfect vertical swoop timing.

Efren Reyes didnt say nick was the best player he ever saw for nothing....thats Efren Reyes saying that.

Awesome vid Karl! I really like that pointer about gripping the slate with the bridge hand, that is something that never occurred to me. The biggest challenge for me is keeping my grip loose throughout long draw shots. I can see the motion and concept of power delivery is kind of like the power behind a whip as opposed to a hammer lol. Keep up the good work!!

[simonadams]

this is an amazing channel. thanks mate.

[Vintage-]

Nice intro…now it’s stuck in my head. No longer street life but “Pool” life.

[lggamerzgen]

2:19. You said that while executing De Luna's draw shot in World Pool Masters

[university-at-large]

Great video! I really would like to know what you are looking at when you strike the cue ball. Is it the object ball or the cue ball. Thanks for your tips, especially the draw shot video. When your cue makes contact with the cue ball what were you looking at?

[AndyGallagher]

Love it pal. Massive fan of your. Can't wait to get back to the hall when it opens up again (hopefully soon) #MuchLove my friend 🎱❤ps any more word on the pool life hats coming out?

[metou]

Not that anything was bad advice but because most of the audience for this video will be lower skilled players there are some important things that were left out...mainly equipment related and conditions...the shape and hardness of the tip and the even the quality of equipment being used...pros almost always play on
Good level tables with newer good quality cloth on them that are ideal for consistent results...the advice given is assuming that players already know all of these things... problem is most players that already know how to draw and just need advice on longer power draw shots are missing at least 1 variable not being considered...and I feel that the target audience was missed...I'm not saying that it's impossible to grab a stick of the wall at your local watering hole will not be good enough to power draw farther away...I'm saying that consistency will be much lower... my advice would be to go to a pool hall with decent quality equipment and practice there because you can eliminate variables that can make it harder to do...1 piece of advice I would give that I learned pretty late that can contribute significantly the harder you hit the cue causing you to miss even center ball hits on the cue ball is when you have to elevate the back of your stick and jack it up because it's over the coushin is that the cue ball jumps off the table and it even happens when you have your cue level...or what you perceive is level... this is one of the main reasons why it is so hard for most players to hit the ball hard accurately... being off slightly left or right causes the cue ball to deflect to the opposite side you hit some and you will miss your aiming point...so it's crucial to practice drills hitting the ball with pace so it hits the rail and leave your stick where it finished the shot so the ball hits the rail and comes back and hits the cue stick ensuring you are hitting the ball accurately...then after being able to do that pretty much consistent is when you are ready to hit object balls with low center for power draw

wow, try recreating deluna draw shot on the 1 against shaw. would love to see that!
