Here's my analysis of the screw back shot - I hope it helps you all... The first requirement for successful execution of the screw shot is to aim at the bottom of the cueball not by lifting the butt end of the cue into the air but by lowering the whole of the cue parallel to the bed of the table. A good tip here is to flatten your bridge hand. Whereas in the standard position the cue rests around about 2" above the cloth (at the point it crosses your thumb-forefinger rest), by flattening your bridge you should be able to lower this.

Left hand side This diagram shows left-hand side being used to take the cue-ball back up to a safe area of the table.

Once you have the five points above in place, you can now start by trying to hit the cue ball in the centre, one of the best ways of achieving this is to start by hitting the white ball up and down the length of the table bouncing the white off the top cushion and coming back over the black, pink and blue spots and finally back to the brown spot from where you struck the ball from. This is a very difficult thing to achieve and takes hours of practice to get right...
