INSTRUCTION Follow and Draw drill

Pocket Billiards Instructional Articles and Videos.... Vergottini’s Blog Eight-Ball Nine-Ball One-Pocket Straight Pool

This is a great little exercise to learn how to follow and draw for basic position zones. Place one ball on the foot spot (8-ball) and another on the headspot (9-ball). Place a third ball in the dead center of the table. Last, place the cue-ball anywhere on the straight line that allows you to pocket the center ball in a corner pocket and either follow or draw for postion on the next ball. You can shoot one rack of balls to follow to cue ball position A for the 8-ball, and another rack of balls to draw to cue ball position B for position on the 9-ball. Your position goal should be to achieve either straight in position on the next shot, or at least a comfortable confident cut shot, no more than say a 30 degree angle.
