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

Smooth stroke or whatever is about consistency. I know I've personally shot something absolutely shitty and it still went in in spite of myself.

If a shot can be made 9/10 with a smooth stroke it might be made 2/10 with something wonky because there is no consistency.

Yep - angle, spot & speed (ASS).


All of that matters, but only for delivering the cue to the cue ball at the correct Angle, Spot and Speed.

The forces one develops and tries to perfect as a player don't exist in a vacuum.
Straight is easy to remember. Inertia is hard to forget.
Why this matters is: the more complicated your launch sequence, the more stuff that can be influenced to go awry.
Further, the closer to perfection you are, that which can be influenced will have less wiggle room and maybe negligible effect towards failure.
