No, but a good follow through will keep you from decelerating and stabbing at the ball, is the idea.Were not all SVB's...

I would be happy if I could just get LePro tips like I used on my cues for decades.
The ones I have tried in the last decade, or so, are nothing like the old ones.
They are spongy, they mushroom easily, and the fibers separate and pull apart.
I used to buy them by the box and cherry pick what I thought was the best one and I would never have a problem with it. The box would last for years.
Now it seems that almost everyone you choose is a crap shoot.

Once your cue tip contacts the cueball nothing more happens you can influence....true, however if the momentum of your swing stops at contact with the cueball then you are not driving through the ball, just like a golf swing, youtube Mike Massey draw shots, he could draw the cueball 2 table lengths on a 9 ft table, his follow through was extreme, you don't have to go that far but you do need to go at least a couple of inches ...
SVB does follow through a couple of inches, he also has a 30mph break speed stroke, speed of stroke is also a big factor.
As long as your speed is the same at impact......the ONLY way you can stop your cue at impact with the cueball is to slow it's acceleration BEFORE impact, that's why you need to follow through the ball, the follow through ensures you stroke through the ball not to the ball, that's why you are having trouble drawing the cueball, the times you accidentally get draw you are accidentally following through with your stroke 
I like how you mansplained your own statement.
What would those reasons be...(?)
That's not considered follow through ....that is the very definition of follow through, you are striking THROUGH the cueball, some may strike through the cueball farther but a good pool stroke requires follow through.
SVB definetly is hitting ''at'' the cue ball on draw strokes, not through, trying to get as much power upon impact and not dropping the elbow.And of course he's going to drop the elbow a little(and therefore create a small follow) through since he's throwing a weight forward.What is in general considered a follow through is 6-9 inches after the cue ball and he's nowhere near doing that.

Yes, momentum through the ball.
...but now I feel bad for contributing for the annual thread hijacking babble about the same topic.
Thought this was a tip review thread lol
Momentum through the ball,huh..?And how would a non follow through look like..?

There is always to some extent a follow through... however minuscule... this is how momentum is transferred from one object to another. I'm no Physics teacher, but pretty sure that's how it works.
I feel you bro. Only practical suggestion I have is Pooldawg8.
Have Jeff send you some Duds.
Remember those?? Always solid. Consistent and way underpriced, compared to most of today's Moo offerings.
Again, in pool a follow through is widely considered 6-9 inches not 1 inch.Novice players are taught to follow through, so if there is a follow through there must be a non follow through as well and to theorise about physics stating that every shot has a follow through is nonsense.I am pretty sure SVB would tell you he's hitting at and not through the ball nor deliberately going trough the ball 1.354 inches.
He draws the ball like Louie often did. It's all in the wrist at point of contact on the CB. You can get enormous amounts of draw if you snap the wrist. Try it. Takes time to learn how to control, but those long draw shots you over stroke and jaw the OB in the pocket?? They don't happen no mo.
All it takes is a quick flick and you'll get 2-3 feet easy.
That's just for starters for you under 500s.
