How To Play The Screw Shot | Pool Coaching

[@stuartculshaw5342]

Simon you're a genius thank you. Why have I been smacking the thing into next week? You've opened up my game here.

[@SimonTWebb]

Glad it helped

So well explained in a very simple way.................. thanks

Happy to see you back and kinder adore your tutorials and more inform Us 🎱 pool players without having a coach. Guess your tutorials are really playing a vital role in making sure that we have an idea about cueing proper rather than hard cueing. Thanks for your clarity and I am inspired and now have an idea how to play backspin properly. Thanks Sir Webb. 😇🙏

This is a very good video. The fundamentals of shooting a draw shot were well illustrated and explained. I have known these fundamentals for some time now. However, I still cannot consistently execute a good draw shot. What happens is that I miscue or the cue ball only comes back a few inches. What do you think could be my problem(s).

[@SimonTWebb]

Sorry for the slow reply. Hard to say what the issue is without seeing your technique. But if you are miss cueing a lot then you may want to look at your fundamentals.

One other thing besides what Simon has already said. Don't grip your cue tight. Hold it like you're holding a piece of lettuce and let it swing loosely.

[@SimonTWebb]

Love it! Like a piece of lettuce!

One thing a lot of beginners don't realise is that due to the white being lighter than the colours it will always bounce back slightly. This means screw shots require less force than follow shots.

[@SimonTWebb]

Yes. Agreed. The physics of the ball are different because of the smaller white.

@@SimonTWebb I've heard some pool commentators mention that competition 8 ball / Blackball sets should have equal sized cue balls but I'm skeptical about it. I think I'm in the majority who come from playing in pubs where the cue ball has to be smaller because of the coin operated table; and those sizes are replicated in the clubs because they give a simmilar feel of play. I think moving to 2" cue balls in competition would block some from having the confidence to progress.

So a screw shot is the same as drawing

[@SimonTWebb]

Yes
