Discover 5 crucial keys which have significant impact on your stroke quality during executing long draw shots😎 Thank you for deciding to watch my video and if you want to support my work, consider leaving a thumbs up under the video and hitting the subscribe button because I make a new video every week and it's worth keeping up to date with all new publications on my channel🙏
After watching this video, I practiced your lessons on my pool table. And now, thanks to you Adam, I have a more consistent draw stroke. Can't Thank You enough Adam. 🥇
Wonderful advice. Especially the elbow drop and timing on power shots. Timing all the time. To me, timing is most effective when we start with the cue tip very near the object ball instead of several inches away. With a loose grip, the cue stick will naturally drop to the table, but that should happen only after contact with the cue ball.
Adam, great video as always. This may be a naive question but here goes. Is there only one shot that uses most of the cue tip (center ball stun)? Are you hitting the draw shots with only a small portion of the tip? Thanks.
Thank you very much for your comment and feedback. In my opinion, during each type of shot we experience the use of the entire tip. Regardless of whether we hit with a center ball, side spin or backspin, our cue tip is loaded with different types of forces. If we hit with a center ball, the force acts centrally on the entire tip, and when we hit with side spin, the force acts at a certain angle, which generates a different type of stress. I've never paid much attention to it and I don't have enough knowledge to comment on it, but that's my opinion on it.
do you have any opinions about elbow drop versus slipstroke techniques? i find that they are very similar, at least anecdotally as a intermediate player. would love to hear what you think of slipstroke in general as well. thank you for the video
Thank you so much for your comment and feedback. Generally elbow drop is absolutely helpful thing and I like to use this motion during different kind of shots. If we look at Shane's stroke then we can see that he doesn't use this motion but for example Jasmin or Fedor doing it so often. I think that individual preferences. But sometimes we are not able to hit cue ball where we wanted because our tip going slightly up and then down during this motion. So it is extremely important to move our cue on the same line and control our grip to not lift it during dropping elbow down.
Nothing is straighther than a stick moving free through the air. So if you can perfect the slip stroke, it's the straightest cue action out there. It's just hard to convert it into executing.
Tks a lot, a try your 5 thinks and everything has change in my game, and by the way, this follow stroke with elbow drop work in most of the shots, not just for draw, thanks again!!!
Good video. We should add too so players don’t get frustrated is that clean polished balls along with new fast felt and or clean fast felt and overall climate conditions make a huge difference in the amount of draw one can creat from table to table. Anyone who’s played many different tables & locations and different climate conditions would know that sometimes they might ask themselves why is the cue drawing so so much more than the other day at another establishment etc. cheers
All true but … I can still draw pretty well on even the worst tables. I used to think I couldn’t draw well because of poor tables. But it turned out that good technique made all the difference. Once I developed good technique the ball started coming back. The point? Don’t blame the table and use it as an excuse. You might not get the length on draws that you want, but you can still learn how to do it.
@@jbart9309 I can draw as much as I want on poor equipment too I’m just saying that on excellent equipment & perfect conditions I can do wicked draw shots. My other point was others need to be aware of this because it can make a big difference. Cheers
@@tomburns890 no criticism was meant, Tom. It’s just when I first started learning how to draw, I was playing on a poor table. And I thought the problem was a table. It was me!
@@jbart9309 no worries and all I meant was for beginners not to get frustrated when they starting out and learning and then watch some pro on excellent equipment spin the shit out of the ball and get frustrated. Cheers
My friend told me you need a quality stroke for a good long power draw. Less power will get the spin you want. To has a video saying finesse is key and use a lose grip and slip stroke it
I think that we need to practice more and more these aspects which I presented in this episode. There is no better way to improve all these things. But of course there is possibility to make another episode to explain best methods to avoid common mistakes.
Thanks for your comment. This is because I don't have a left hand and my body moves during the shot because there is no support on the table in the form of a bridge hand.

@@MrCueBall thank you very much for your reply. I will take it into consideration next time I am at the table.

@@MrCueBall if i send you some video with my game, can you analyze and give your opinion, what i must improve? i like the way you see the game.
@@ovidiumarza6326 Sure but I can't tell you at this moment when i will have some time to check it ;)

It took me half way threw the video to realize you are missing an arm. 0.0. You sir are an inspiration.
Ohhh. It means that it was nice camouflage😅 Thank you so much for your comment and opinion🙏
I would add one very important aspect. Of course tip must be correctly chalk, but also (equally important) cue tip must be in very good shape
Of course it is very important, but without these 5 aspects it will certainly not be that important.
My friend told me you need a quality stroke for a good long power draw. Less power will get the spin you want. To has a video saying finesse is key and use a lose grip and slip stroke it
Timing of the shot is very important😎
@@MrCueBall true. I found out this the hardway
1:11 - not only with a longer bridge? More rapid acceleration with the same length bridge also achieves this.
Yes, you're right, but what I meant more was that we can only achieve this with a longer bridge in relation to bridge length.
That cake looked good
How about in offs. Best way too avoid
I think that we need to practice more and more these aspects which I presented in this episode. There is no better way to improve all these things. But of course there is possibility to make another episode to explain best methods to avoid common mistakes.
ur funny man 😁😁😁😁😁
I hope in a positive way😀
I was trying a long draw once and I miscued and my tip popped off 😢
I had same problem many times😓
@@MrCueBall yeah 😭😢
On your stroke , you lift your chin , seemingly looking like that’s to give your hand clearance. To stay straight.
Thanks for your comment. This is because I don't have a left hand and my body moves during the shot because there is no support on the table in the form of a bridge hand.
novice players are just happy to make a shot
This is true😎
