Draw shots: The two most common mistakes on draw shots is shooting too hard and not following through the shot with the cue stick. Line up a shot for the side pocket and practice shooting a ball in using a striped ball for the cue ball.

First just concentrate on making the ball. Next try making the stripped ball stop after pocketing the object ball. After you develop some proficiency with this make the cue ball come backwards a little and finally learn to shoot with such pure straight draw that the stripped ball will come backwards and scratch in the opposite side pocket. Mastering this simple shot will put you beyond the skill level of most pool players.
