What do you call Allen Hopkin's stroke. Is that a slip stroke?

Slipstroke?

Well I can't figure out what Hopkins does. He comes forward with the cue, almost stops about an inch before the ball, and then whatever he does he does it so fast I can't tell what he's doing. I thought maybe he lets it slip. But if when he almost stops you're calling that a quiver: sounds good. If then he's doing the opposite of slipping and instead he's triggering: I've learned something. As I said, he does it so fast I can't tell what he's doing.lol, Allen has more of a quiver trigger style !

Watch the you tube video from the link Johnny P. Provides a few posts above. Watch the guy's back hand slip. I just watched it and realized oldzilla was perfectly appropriate in giving me an "lol" and a frowning face!What is a slip stroke?
I recorded Wayne Norcross a few years ago, trying to capture the slip stroke.
He doesn't use it all the time, and some times he adds the stroke slip in the same shot. Please excuse the camera movement.
