I think in snooker they call it a stun run through. I hit or aim to hit dead center for the short follow. Through practice I have developed a feel for where and how hard to strike the white. Watching the interaction of the tip with the white gives data.
 
Looking at the reflection in the cueball, pick a feature in the reflection to strike and drive through center ball. Once that's mastered move on to variations of off center strikes.
 
I always enjoyed playing people that loved to spin their rock. Of course a touch of isn't spin to the rock its just a flavoring.
So with a 1 mm center line and a 3 mm chalk mark. Center ball is simple stuff. Doing simple stuff well leads to a game that is Stealth. Well straight pool is a game of simple. 8 ball is close to straight pool. Bringing a straight pool game to the 9 ball money play can lead to setting the hook.
