I watched the match between Shane Van Boening and Corey Deuel with Earl commentating. In the very first game, Shane does a draw shot on the 3 ball. His cue ball is about 2 feet from the object ball. Earl makes a point about popping the ball as a way of delivering the cue. Can somebody explain what he means and how this stroke is different from a regular draw shot? Also, what situations do you use this stroke?

Shot starts at 1:54.
My guess is that popping a ball is accelerating the cue faster than normal to get more action, when you don’t have the room for a longer back stroke.
Thanks!
