The term "cut-induced throw (CIT)" (found in newer instructional material) is a newer and improved version of "collision-induced throw" (found in older instructional material). I list both in my
online pool glossary because both phrases are still commonly used. The reason why most people now prefer "cut-induced throw" is that CIT refers to throw resulting from a cut angle. This is in contrast to "spin-induced throw (SIT)," which results from sidespin.
Both types of throw (CIT or SIT) involve a collision (the CB hitting the OB). The collision is not what causes throw. Throw requires either a cut angle without
gearing outside English, or any type and amount of spin other than gearing outside English. It is the sliding motion between the ball surfaces during the collision (due to cut angle or spin) that causes throw.
We should all do our best to use currently-accepted terminology. We should also question and improve any terminology that might be unclear or misleading.
