a shot in cue sports where the cue ball is struck below center to make it reverse its path after hitting an object ball
A draw shot is a technique in pool or snooker where the player strikes the cue ball below its center, causing it to spin backward after hitting the object ball. This backward spin makes the cue ball move in the opposite direction of its original path, often returning to a more favorable position for the next shot. The draw shot is useful for positioning the cue ball after potting an object ball, allowing the player to control the table and plan their next move. It requires precise control of the cue ball's spin and speed to execute effectively.
