UPDATE - One reader made me realize I forgot to publish the media to go along with this stun shot drill.
This drill focuses on stun shots or stop shots that actually draw back at a slight angle to give you position for your next shot. To set up the drill place a number of object balls in a line around the corner pocket as follows:
The stun run through is shot that needs an accurate strike on the cue ball, good timing, and a good feel for the pace of the table.
You should aim to hit the cue ball a half of a tip to three quarters of a tip below center, no side spin. The stun/draw shot is at the krux of this drill. Here is a little clip of a well-executed stun shot with draw.
Begin at Position A, pot the 1-Ball in the corner with a crisp stroke of the cue. The result should be the cue ball floating on its natural path back, and over to Position B, leaving the necessary angle on the next ball. Continue down the line as far as possible. Your goal should be to purposely bring the cue ball back out to as close as possible to where it started, while still pocketing the ball you are shooting at.

I am confused, are there drawings or diagrams to go with the tips? Or maybe a single reference drawing? Thank you
Thanks for the note Mike. I realized that for some reason, I forgot to publish the media that was supposed to accompany this drill. Setup image and Video for this stun shot/draw shot, position play drill have been posted. Some of the tips have them, some don't. About half of the tips in this section are user submitted, so if they didn't submit images, there usually aren't any.
Shouldn't the third paragraph read "...a half to three-quarters of a tip BELOW center..."? Great drill though - a real confidence builder.
You are correct, article has been corrected.
