Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Draw as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A method of cue ball control which causes the cue ball to move back toward its point of origin after contacting the object ball. This is done by applying backspin to the cue ball by striking it slightly below center. When the cue ball is struck in such a manner with a draw shot, it begins to spin backward whilst it is sliding forward on the pool table cloth toward the object ball. Draw reduces the distance traveled by the cue ball, it narrows the carom angle post contact with the object ball, and it slows the cue ball down.
He put a little draw on the cue ball to get it to come back toward it's origin.
