Can someone explain the ''punch Stroke"? Please don't tell me to buy the Monk's book. I keep seing references to this stroke and would like to know what it is all about and if it has any follow thru. It is supposed to be one of the basic strokes but I have yet to see it explained.

It's the most basic stroke.
It has a popping sound to it. A follow throuugh of about 6 inches or so with acceration thru the ball. The ball will slide instead of rolling or backward spinning.
 
Punch Stroke

Have you heard of the STOP shot. The most important shot in the game. The shot calls for a center ball hit with follow thru. Set up a straight in shot with the cueball about three feet from the object ball. Shoot about 1/16 inch below center so the cue ball stops dead in it's tracks. Practice this from differant distances. The cue ball must be sliding upon contact. When using this stroke on cut shots, the cue ball will stay on the tangent line. If you know where to hit the cue ball to keep it on the tangent line, you will learn how to play better position. A little draw and the cueball comes back off the line and a little follow makes it roll forward off the tangent line. The cue will make a "pop " sound when shooting this shot. Sometimes refered to as the pop shot.

Daddy Don, I am ashamed of you. I thought you would say when the guys jaw got broke.

The shot is like a soft jab in boxing, not a blow, but a punch, a nip and if hit off angle it causes the cue ball to slide and the shot can be very effective.
