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 above 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.
