The best thing to the stop shot is how easy it is to perform. It makes the most of your cue's speed. Once you have mastered how to control your stop, you can also use it for manipulating the tangent. So you can experiment with different speeds, tip placements, or spots.

Another trick is for your cueball to follow the tangent lines. This is an excellent drill to start every practice session. If you are able to speed up, the cueball will grab the follow and move towards the pocket. Once you see the ball drop, you will know if it was an effective stop.

The stop shot is a cliché, but it's still one of the most reliable positional shots in pool. If you are at the right speed, a misshit stop can still get into the pocket.
