I was taught a wrist stroke by an old carom player. Basically you hold the cue arm in the normal 90 degree position and isolate your wrist. Your stroking the ball with just the wrist and without following through. With practise you can draw the ball very far indeed without fouling. I can even play the entire game this way and have ok power on fast tables, of course then I'd follow through with the wrist when distance was not an issue. Wouldn't recommend it though, as your wrist will feel like that of a jiu jitsu student after a while. Fun to play with this. I'll have to try the Mike Massey way and see if I can move even closer with that. It's been about 2 months since I was last near a pool table and it may be at least 2 more.
There is a secret to this as well, in how to get maximum action at slow speed. If you work the Mike Massey technique, you'll probably, eventually find it out, but I'm not telling.
