Draw: Level vs. Jab Stroke

Ready to stroke a "jab draw"

Photo (c) Matt Sherman
The jab stroke is little understood, yet one of the most simple and elegant strokes in all of pool. Any beginner can learn this stroke in two or three tries.

I am lined up to hit the white cue ball into the purple four. I am going to make drawing the white ball a simple affair, as you will see in the subsequent photos. This stroke may provide you with easier backspin results than the level stroke displayed in previous photos.
