Fast Larry, Years ago I had pretty good top spin and draw. Now it is terrible. Do you raise the butt of your cue and or snap your wrist for good top spin and draw? My stroke isn't that good yet so that could be it to. I think I'm doing something different but can't figure out what it is. Thanks for your help.

To explain this, to try and teach this, It would be about 10 pages. I jack up and hit down on the draw with a 3" follow thru, follow, I stay level to the bed, and the cue rises up some on impact with a long follow thru and the tip never touches the cloth of falls below the center of the cue ball. The two shots, are the exact opposite of each other.

Wish I had read this earlier. I spent 5 hours at the table practicing draw before I figured it out! Better late than never in my case.

Thanks Fast Larry. My follow is getting better. Draw is still so so. I'll try to figure out the angle of my cue when I use the draw.

Simple it s 2 l/4", bridge on the table so your cue butt is over the rail, then have a pal, put a cue ball on the rail and put your cue on the ball, that is the angle in.
