Pool Lesson | How To Draw The Cue Ball Exactly To A Point

[@Sharivari]

When playing the drill, you could actually set up the other balls once you are on the six ball, and repeat everything in the opposite order. So it could be an endless drill. How many balls do you think you could also?

[@handogtv2222]

Another good lesson thank you sir idol from your number one fans in the Philippines GOD BLESS

[@zyxelk7368]

Best pool caoches on yt : one and only Dr Dave billiards, Sharivari and Tor Lowry

[@zyxelk7368]

I watched fx billiards and he's good, like you said Sharivari and tory are great but in my opinion Dr Dave is in a league of his own. He speaks and teaches every part of the game and he is very precise and detail about that. It's not coincidence that many professionals work with him, he knows A LOT about this game

[@jmgreetis]

@@zyxelk7368 I think that Dr. Dave is partially making his videos for his own satisfaction. There are people who absolutely love being extremely detailed and nailing down every little aspect of a subject into a nice neat little package. I bet he get's a lot of satisfaction from that. But at the same time, if you take the time to try and understand what he is teaching it can be very valuable to understand how everything works in billiards. Personally, I have to watch some of Dr. Dave's videos 3 or 4 times in order to start grasping the concepts. But I have started to understand how things work in the world billiards and it's been a great help. But hands down, Tor and Sharivari are my favorites.

[@pjtyra2106]

I mean yeah, Dr. Dave has a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering, so that check’s out lol

[@garybkatz]

It's great to watch videos from different instructors, definitely including Dr. Dave, Sharivari and Tor. They all have strong suggestions and great perspectives, plus each one has particular strengths that are extremely helpful. I love playing in a match, and a certain shot or position play comes up, and I hear the voice of one of these guys in my head, and I play the situation correctly and win the rack! Thank you, Sharivari and all mentors!

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

I agree with you. Dr. Dave could have stopped posting many years ago and it's doubtful anyone would ever be more influential. Cheers

The tip on the house cue is shaped better than alot of players' personal cues. Classic!

[@antoniotrew5894]

Haha the house cues around here have the huge push on thumb size tips, that combined with cheap @$$ Walmart chalk = disaster 😂.... I still like to use one every now and then just to remind myself of humble beginnings lol

[@viet8741]

my brain: aim low, backspin! you got this champ! me: makes a jump shot

[@ayluvx]

It happens to me as well💀

[@masonkeener4778]

That’s a scoop shot it’s illegal. A jump happens by striking the top of the ball

[@SenseiNatePlaysPool]

FINALLY! - A video that includes timing as essential. Timing is the hardest aspect of the stroke (for me), and there are so few videos out there on it, I was beginning to wonder if good players out there ever actually talked about it! - Great vid. Will be working on this.

[@dnbmania]

A timing drill that I used to practice in snooker was to hold the cue with just your thumb and index finger. Try some short range draw shots doing this and you will start to get a feeling of what many would call 'lettingthe cue do the work'. Only using two fingers forces you to smoothly accelerate the ball up to the requires speed and you must time it well to get the action on the cue ball

[@michaelsauer3783]

Didn't know that when you started? I didn't know what you explained for 60 odd years. Every draw shot saw my thumb being driven into the side of my chest with a short fast withdraw - thinking I had to poke it instead of the natural followthrough. I now have the time and the table and truly appreciate your advise. Thank you again.

[@charlesdavis7940]

I find these the most valuable learner billiards videos on KZbin. He’s helped me diagnose my problems and understand the game much better.

[@garybkatz]

Good pointers. One good drill is to shoot draw shots down the rail, starting from different distances, and drawing back 1 diamond, 2 diamonds, stop shots, etc. Really helps your feel for draw. I always appreciate your tips!

[@pheyehalesley4842]

Timing its actually important.....thanks sharivari

[@MikeyD22]

As always, another excellent tutorial with clear and concise instruction! Thanks for sharing!

[@madhatter2012]

[@brianb.2894]

Thank you once again. Like you said practice is always important when developing the feel and the judgement of the shot but the technical part of the lesson is also very important. Take care.😊

[@Sharivari]

Thank you Brian. You too 🙂

[@josealejandrotorrejon6586]

Sharivari you are to much good for a normal person, I can't believe how precise u are.

[@Sharivari]

Haha, thank you :)

[@ldelcors]

100% correct on the over drawing comment! When I hit properly I know if just by the sound!

[@donwagner8126]

As a relatively new player, the best advice I got was ACCELERATE through the que ball so you have contact for a fraction of a second longer. It made a huge difference.

[@apexelgenio8056]

Thanks sharivari.... for all the constructive reminder i tend sometime to forget this.whilst i am in match..... but i am here watching at 25mins

[@frangatsby9790]

[@r.c.3372]

Haven't played pool since the virus. When I was playing the draw shot wasn't good. I thought it was my stick. You just showed me by using a house stick it can be done. I'm fair player, by watching your videos helps. Thanks

[@dextertracy3739]

Great Video Sharivari !!!

[@hollyd8350]

Outstanding drill and execution!

[@gretaambrose-evans8567]

This was so helpful! Thank you so much.

[@jonathanpaulmusik]

To contact the cue ball before hitting max speed....... wow 👌

[@Eng_Rono]

Awesome, I think I should do the same on virtual

[@hoppechr]

It‘s all about linear and rotational impulse. Impulse is the product of speed and mass. In fact, I believe the more serious issue is a too strong grip that adds the weight of the lower arm and hand to the calculation, thereby increasing the linear impulse transfer more than proportionately. Furthermore, one can show that slight cue elevation as compared to a level cue is mechanically advantageous for optimal rotation transfer.

[@nathanblaxall8703]

Great tips - thank you!

[@rob1k295]

Hello pool players! I was struggling even with all the pro tips and just by today i find the right solution for me so i want to share it with u guys! =) When i want to draw the cue ball, i use hand grip with closed fingers not the open ( "V" ) = more accurate shot means better draw shot. Also what helped me a lot, ive been playin in one bar where is just one table, with one cue ball. The cue ball was so dirty, that i couldnt get any draw on it, after i cleaned the cue ball , ive got huge improve in my draw shots! good luck to everyone!

[@TwoEagleStar]

Another great video. What are your thoughts on tip diameter with regard to draw and how it effects it? Have you done any comparisons to determine if a smaller or larger tip size can generate more or less draw? I know a smaller tip size is harder, as it requires more precise contact. I know I work all the time on my contact point, as that is my challenge when drawing. I think I am aiming center low but in the end am slightly right or left of center. The DOT cue ball has helped me immensely with training on that. Thanks for you efforts to bring great content as always!!

[@jerrycasey1053]

He said near the end, that a dime tip size is the best.

[@brett6314]

I just got a 11.8 mm carbon shaft vs the 12.5 wooden. I'm getting way better action. Several variables so it may not just be the tip diameter

[@ahmedsalem1177]

Dude that was a great lesson

[@Sharivari]

Thank you!

[@dannyuttam8693]

Good explanation

[@itsmefond]

underrated.

[@patrickrobichaux]

Not sure if you noticed but with the house cue, you used significantly more angle to generate backspin. I have found that cue tips that aren't perfectly rounded have trouble drawing when held more level. However, angling them can help get a more consistent draw. Is that a hidden flaw in form or have you noticed the same? Seems like it makes sense that more angle creates a better contact with the cue for drawing.

[@jafarkhan5569]

WONDERFULL

[@kimsoriano9369]

[@antoniotrew5894]

I've been practicing my cue ball control with a piece of paper..I'll set a piece of printer paper somewhere on the table and set up an object ball and the cue ball and using whatever English I'm practicing and make the object ball and try to have the cue ball stop on the paper...It seems to be working pretty well so far..

[@dannyuttam8693]

Good coaching

[@junusbaan7787]

Good job

[@bradi3977]

@Sharivari I know this video is old, but i noticed when you are doing these shots, you are elevating the back side of your cue and then coming into the cue ball at a different angle than straight on. Can you elaborate on why you pull the butt upwards before striking a draw shot? I think this nuance is missed in a lot of videos from everyone.

[@enzolu1592]

Really helpful, looking forwards to seeing a tip for doing a draw shot from a longer distance

[@Sharivari]

@@enzolu1592 You're welcome. Yes, it does. But at least it's a lot of fun :)

[@skippgooley77]

May I ask what tip you are using? Soft, medium or hard? Thank you, and thank you for all your instructional vids. They are very helpful!

[@Sharivari]

KAMUI Brown Medium :)

[@skippgooley77]

Thank you! I have to believe that new cues come in with hard tips. I can’t get nearly the cue ball action you get. If I play very high or low on the cue ball, it’s a miscue for sure. I’ve been playing pool for very nearly 60 years. Since I was a kid we always had a pool table in our house. A very cheap table, but nevertheless a pool table. I now have a 3 piece Hadleigh table with a worsted wool cover that I set up and installed. My point is that in all that time I have NEVER heard of different hardnesses of tips until late last year! That’s the only good thing I can say of 2020. 😁 ( btw.... I have medium tips now. I just need to install it now.). Thanks again for the very quick reply!

[@kirkjaraba4189]

does a better cue affect the performance than a cheap one? For example drawing back

[@marionfrendo1744]

Just curious. What size tip are you using? At any rate, another great video! Thanks!

[@Sharivari]

Thanks. I am using a 12.2 KAMUI Brown Medium tip.

[@Sharivari]

Thanks for the hint. Contacted them twice without an answer.

[@vincentbeaurivage]

I am a big fan of your videos but this one title was misleading... There are many drills out there for backspin... you could have taken any of them and comment while you performed it... instead I watched you backspinning 3 rails on shots that required a simple follow... Finally, I dont agree on inclination as a indication of backspin.. In fact, the more vertical you cue up, the more resistance the cue ball gets against the felt, making the CB leave slower, with more spin (look at the Venom masses to get my point)... Anyway, for those who read comments, give this guy a chance if this is the first video of him that you watch... he has a lot more to offer! ☺️

[@Dennis-kj9qx]

What size tip do you personally use ?

[@Sharivari]

12.2

[@ScottsPoolSchool]

Curious - do you do your own video editing and graphics or have help with that? Very nice quality. I have my own channel but more of a live format, have done some limited editing but it takes a lot of work and I have a job, family, etc. and not enough time or energy for that and will likely continue with more live format with limited editing just to clean things up etc. Which is great because a lot of the teachers out there can impart information in slightly different ways and people learn differently as well. Anyway, was curious, and congrats on how far you've taken the channel over the years, good quality content!

[@Sharivari]

Hi Scott. Yes I do everything own my own. Graphics, Animations, Sound Design and I am of course the guy on the table :D I have some live format videos as well and personally prefer it, because as mentioned it is a lot less editing. This lesson for example took around 16 hours of work on the computer. Thank you and good luck and a lot of fun with your channel!

[@ScottsPoolSchool]

@@Sharivari Thanks for reply, appreciate it! I had a feeling it was a solid investment in time, even with my limited editing takes a while and took some time to learn the software etc., still a lot to learn... :) Good luck with your future videos as well, I will be watching and sharing with my students as well!

I wonder if you can still generate a lot power draw on long distance without doing an elbow drop on your stroke, because I notice professionals do an elbow drop on power draw.

[@pauls064]

warren te an everlasting debate. Some pros drop, others don’t. It shows both are possible. I’ve seen people draw 2 table lengths like Mike Massey without dropping. I personally drop a little... but I’ve started to shorten the follow through compared to what I used to do...

Hey there...im in the caribbean on an island called Trinidad and Tobago. This is a very good video....however I want to say that it is VERY difficult to shoot a "level cue"....because of how pool tables are designed....I mean all your strokes are excellent, but your cue is still slightly inclined... Even Hunter Lombardo who is a professional and coach says that to get a "levelled" cue when stroking is not always a realistic action....in no way am I trying to bash your advice! Your videos are quite good.
