Jeff Gilroy That’s GREAT to hear Jeff!! Way to go man👍😎

Thanks Mel! You're very welcome :)

BrianRDub Thanks Brian!

@@MaxEberle Most welcome Max! Thank you for taking the time to shoot, edit, and upload your content. It is a lot of work!!!

Thanks Dennis!! So glad to hear this😄👍🏆

msmith4012 That’s so awesome!!

Max, a great "side effect" is that my regular stroke is even better, more precise now. I needed the acceleration demo you showed to bring it all together. Thanks much!

Man I had the same couple of years ago, I suddenly started making full table length draw and I was so happy I wanted to tell everybody around :D how beautiful is it when the cue ball stops for a little bit and then all of sudden start drawing back, I absolutely love it every time I do it! What a great teacher Max is!

LeonFleisherFan Thanks Leon!

Welcome! It's David, tough. Leon Fleisher is the name of a legendary (living!) American Classical pianist and teacher who has had his career cut short or at least interrupted due to health issues.

LeonFleisherFan wait, you’ve run a ten-pack without using any draw??? How’s that possible? Lol Btw, my job is as a pro violinist, and our orchestra played with Leon Fleisher a few months ago. He played the ravel left hand concerto, and followed up with Clair de lune, using a very interesting contraption on his right hand. It was a gorgeous performance!

Perhaps not "none", but I was so bad at draw shots, especially at a distance from the object ball, it was embarrassing. There have been better players, professionals even, who got away avoiding draw shots at all cost, a matter of adjusting one's pattern play. Once I got good at it, I must have changed my pattern play accordingly - the long-term result was or is that my power-follow shots aren't what they once used to be. But then, barely anything is… You're lucky and no doubt highly gifted to perform on that level, and in such illustrious company! (On a side note, I love Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand.) Let me share a story with you, something that happened to me some 30 years ago, after I'd taken lessons with Jerry Briesath and felt comfortable teaching others. One of my students, someone who took either lessons with me, or would play me on a daily basis in a pool hall where I was the house pro at the time, would put his violin case under the pool table every afternoon when he came in, and recapture it upon leaving. He was a nice chap, and one day after several weeks, he told me he was in Switzerland on a grant from the state of Bulgaria so he could major there and/or take master classes or the like, I forget, but most likely the former - at any rate, it dawned on me that he should really be practicing and not hang out in a pool hall, let alone rack the balls for me day in, day out. So at one point I challenged him to play what he was supposed to play for his teacher or master class, and he proceeded to play a movement from a Bach Partita or Sonata (again, I forget) - suffice to say he played not just with technical proficiency, but with a musicality way beyond his age (he must have been in his late teens, surely younger than me). It wasn't just beautiful, but positively intoxicating! I chased him out of the pool hall, or more to the point, told him to take responsibility for himself, go practice and not come back. I'll never forget that moment when he put his violin and bow back in its case - he looked grateful. I never saw him again, and since then have often wished I remembered his name, or knew what became of him. Life has its ways of being stranger than fiction sometimes. Cheers!

LeonFleisherFan lol what an awesome story!! Thankfully I discovered pool once I got an orchestra job. Now I spend all my free time practicing pool the way I practice violin. One or two shots out of 12, I’ll hit a shot with such perfect smoothness, that the ball spins the way the string vibrates. Truly the best game.

Lito Hedaria That’s great to hear Lito!!

My pleasure! Glad you like this one, it will make a big difference in your game. Take it easy and best of luck with your draw shot and game!

@@MaxEberle Thank you. I appreciate it!

@@ProductDesignOnline By the way, your channel is excellent! I have some products to design so I'll be watching your stuff here soon. Just amazing!

​@@MaxEberle Thanks! Don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos if you have questions. You can also send me a message through my FB page if you have more specific questions about what you're trying to achieve. Cheers, Kevin :)

Benjamin Grant Thanks man!!

Been playing pool for just over 2 months and been watching a lot of florian. Improved heaps, I can make the ball masse half the table and make it come back and pot it into the hole. I'll keep watching your videos, keep up the work.

Thanks Hai Vu! Technique is very important with a not so good cue. Have in nicely shaped tip is very important and if it's softer that is usually better for the draw shot. Many cheap cues come with rock hard tips which make everything more difficult... get a soft or medium tip and shape it like a nickel or dime and keep it chalked up properly and scuffed from time to time with a tip pik or something like it.

Hi Rob, cool man. Let me know how your draw improves with these tips. I’m quite confident that it will!

Do you remember your cuz?

That heart is hypocritical

You are a hypocrite. You give me a heart, yet you refuse to give me true love.

@@martosupergeilo9238 true dat

It doesn't really hurt the cloth other than add normal wear... cloth is meant to be used :)

paul couto Thanks man. Play for money? Sure anytime, is that a challenge?

@@MaxEberle yeah it's a challenge. WHERE? And get a haircut....hippie

@@FIVE-0-APOCALYPTO Anywhere lol. California, vegas, Mexico...

@@MaxEberle Mexico? am I missing something here? Where in Mexico pal? Dont laugh at me space cadet, look at the time stamp of my last reply and yours. bwok bwok bwok bwawwwwk BUHWAWWWKKK🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐥

t shark Medium is great, I like a soft tip and I use Navigator XS “xtra soft” keep in mind even soft tips become medium after being used a while. You can draw with a hard tip too if you chalk and stroke correctly... it’s just not as nice

@@MaxEberle thanks for getting back. I need alot of practice with a better stroke . Great video by the way, it's going to help me alot.

Yes Luca this is correct! You basically want to shoot down slightly and through the bottom of the ball. You could even elevate a lot just be careful to make a clean hit near the center axis or hit the cue ball hard to avoid masse

Eric Kort Well new cloth will increase the distance the cue ball travels and the ease of executing the draw so in a way you’re correct. However with best practices like in this video it’s mostly about technique.

Marti-schnucki Harti yeah cuz message on email

@@MaxEberle ok, im waitin'. Nothing there yet

Richard Jones Thanks for the feedback. The other way to look at it is, no one else can teach the draw shot as well as I can so feel lucky you have me, haha. I will work on it and truly appreciate it, these were some of my first videos over 10 yers ago, but it’s great to her how I can improve my delivery and I will work on what you said! 🙏🙏🙏

I had the same problem and I managed to solve it by standing up a little bit more. I used to play like a Snooker player with my chin touching the cue. That way my elbow was sticking up pretty far and without dropping my elbow I didn't even have the range of motion to follow through. Now I'm like a fist width above the cue and it works much better.

Drop the elbow it’s ok… just don’t drop the grip hand too. That’s the secret!

Ramona Lujan Many players cannot draw much at all and so even if they find a reason they will not have the ability. Empowering my players with the ability to draw will then help them enter into a new world of possibilities.
