Myth or real - Stroke smoothness as a requisite for certain shots

If I remember correctly Ronnie used enough inside that the cueball curved and gave more of a full hit on the object ball. That kind of accuracy in the strike to whitey one handed was impressive.
I don't recall any masse properties but they must've been there. What I think is there's enough backspin built in that the ball will get there like a stop shot except slower and softer. It makes the hit and dies in the area as if you shot it from a foot away with a normal stroke.

I saw Mike Masse do that on an 8 footer. I occurs to me the shot works better and is probably easier to shoot one handed jacked up. It's kind of an entertainment hustle.

BILLIARD ANTIQUES & COLLECTABLES AUCTION FEBRUARY 23RD & 24TH 2026 CUES ,BALLS, CASES

Thanks for sharing - last auction that I won a cue I had to pay a 30% buyers premium over my final bid price - on top of that I was at the mercy of the company handling packing and shipping of purchased items and they were very expensive if you are not local.
I did end up with a nice cue and it actually turned a small profit on re- sell even after all those added expenses - it was a Gus forearm Palmer third catalog.
NOT BOUGHT AT KRAFT! Not at KRAFT, maybe some other auction house. Read the website.
