Billiard Basic - Draw and Follow

Draw is hitting the cue ball by it's below-center will bring the cue ball back towards you. Follow, which is applied by hitting the cue ball above center, will move the cue ball forward, away from you. The farther away from center you hit the cue ball, the more spin will be applied given the same stroke speed is used. The actual spin is determined by cue offset from center, stroke speed, and distance between cue and object balls. Practice will be needed to determine stroke speed to get consistent results. With shots at an angle, draw and follow affect how the cue ball curves off of the perpendicular line. Follow shots will curve forward from the perpendicular line: As the angle of the shot increases, draw and follow have less effect on the cue ball path.


Stroke speed is very important for cue ball control. Using backstroke length to control stroke speed makes you more consistent. When accelerating the mouse smoothly, the same way for each shot, backstroke length varies cue ball velocity. The further back the cue tip starts, the higher the velocity when you hit the cue ball. For easy shots, pull the cue back a little. The harder you want to stroke the cue ball, the more you pull back on the cue.
