Is this slop?
Your opponent misses the 5 and this is your leave. You call the 8 ball in a particular pocket and it goes in. Is this slop?
If you call a number and place a bet on a roulette wheel and it comes in, are you lucky? After all, it is your intention. You called it.
Here is my take: I think it takes far more skill than luck to hit the ball. Once the ball is hit, it requires far, far more luck to pocket the ball. I think that this is, for the most part, a luck (slop) shot.
