Loosen your stroke. Be fluid. In other words, practice Tai Chi !
Any tips for consistently shooting with follow through?

This is good. One of the major problems with pool is is all the tensions people develop - especially technophysical (new pool word) ones. Just getting into stance can be a struggle. Watch some snooker if you have doubts. That's on you. Work it out. It's the subsequent "structural" tensions that kill performance not to mention priming oneself for the influencers - oops. lol...
And the acceleration is negative (or in the direction opposite to its motion), and many people would instead say it is decelerating.
My comment to which you replied was in response to a hypothetical mass "slowing with zero acceleration", which is a physically impossible premise.
… which would serve only to demonstrate their poor understanding of basic physics. I don't typically take seriously things said by people who literally don't understand the subject matter they're talking about.
With no thrust being applied at the cueball the cue is abcellerating.
I think a lot of players could benefit by slowing their forward roll.
I like to prime my pump with all the influencers I can get!!
This is what I was questioning. I would say that, say in a zero-g, vacuum environment, a moving mass would require a counter-force--acceleration in the opposite direction to its current direction of travel--but, considering something like a rolling cue ball, I don't see how the *removal* of the original accelerating force constitutes acceleration in any way. I mentioned gravity earlier, so would that be considered the accelerating force, although in a different direction?
Even if one considers a car, acceleration is achieved by using one pedal, and one can either stop using that pedal, and/or use the brake pedal--and even though that causes the use of force on the brake components at the wheels, I don't see where that equals an 'opposite' type of force/acceleration.
I'm not trying to argue that I'm right and Physics is wrong, but trying to understand WHY a mass with dwindling inertia is still considered "accelerating". Is this sort of like the equal-opposing force that is generated (if you can use that verb) by the resisting inertia of a mass--that is, when pushing on something, it 'pushes' back?
Note: I never made it to a college-level physics class, and only have passing understanding of some capital-P, Physics terms/explanations, gleaned from minor exposure, over time.
Consuming the vegetable side with your hot wings, similar to "carroting".
If "positive acceleration" is a state where a mass has a force applied to it (+1), and "negative acceleration" is in the opposing direction (-1), then is there not a non-acceleration/deceleration state (0)?
Again, not trying to prove this, but to understand why the 0-force state is not considered. Or, if it is, but does not apply as it seems it should.

Celerating is eating celery sticks with chicken wings
In my case, eating celery with wings is self-delusioning that it's a healthy meal.

As long as you have a diet pop with the meal you're good to go lol
Nothing is so confusing that we can't make things worse discussing it on AZB!
Some, including many pendulum stroke advocates, try to maintain that there has to be a pause when going from the back stroke to the forward stroke. True enough if something is restrained from moving up, down, or sideways. In truth, with all of the joints involved in a stroke no pause is necessary. I don't consider a pause to be a good thing, particularly a long pause. We have built a motion with our practice strokes which don't usually involve a pause, now we put a gap between the practice strokes and the final stroke. Why? (rhetorical question)
