Below Center Hit at different speeds
Last but not least, let us discuss the draw or below center hit on the cue ball. Again, no english is used in this example. Let us proceed... refer to the illustration below.
Again, notice the direction of the cue ball after it hits the object ball at soft, medium and soft strokes with the use of draw or below center hit on the cue ball. As discussed on the lesson about Basic Position, hitting the cue ball below center will have the cue ball travel at more than 90 degrees perpendicular to the direction of the object ball and the above illustration shows you the general path of the cue ball at different speed of stroke. You can also see that there is a little curve on the cue ball when hitting it with a strong stroke. This is caused by the reverse spin on the cue ball (physics stuff)... just accept it and move on. Once again, practice this type of shot at different speeds and pay attention to where the cue ball goes.
