I think that's in the Ray Martin book. IIRC he or whomever claimed it said 1/4 inch. Doesn't take much to get the ball coming at you but it's real easy to foul. Many times the foul has little effect on the draw except for the slight hop.
Draw Shot

- Start date
watch this vid (starts at 3'32") , this shot is called a 'fouette' (balls don't touch, they're around 1-2mm) :
another vid with the same family of shots , 'fouette-rétro' , artistic billard point n°35 :
here is a masse shot , it draws , but can you see a 'follow through' ?

I think Mike Massey was the first player I saw shoot this "Passing Lane" shot. Ralph credits it to George Middleditch who also used the shot in exhibitions.Ralph Eckert is not afraid of cue balls froze to object balls.

Sigel was the first I saw do that passing masse. This one's the best application for sure.
That brought back a memory….George Middleditch in front of a big crowd at a March of Dimes exhibition 1978….9-ball over the hole far end…1-ball on same long rail….other end, one diamond from corner…. banked the 1-ball three rails back to the same diamond….where he had left whitey with massive spin….whitey ran three rails and made the 9-ball. Nicest surprise I’ve ever had at an exhibition.
Was this shot in The Color of Money, when Vincent is in the big tournament at the end during a match? (Forget if with Eddie or someone else before him).Ralph Eckert is not afraid of cue balls froze to object balls.

Gotta watch that movie again.
Found it! ha ha
Nice one.
If you didn’t stroke the cue ball in a sharp downward angle, you’d wind up scooping the
cue ball trying to draw it or else you’d be pushing the cue ball that’d be another foul. A
double kiss has to be avoided using a short nip short so you have to remove the cue fast.

I have yet to get it to pass the first ball.
Here’s another variation by Ralph
