One thing for those who promote the slip stroke to consider is that top carom players, who routinely need amazing action with precision on the cue ball, uniformly use sticky rubber wraps which render slipping nearly impossible. Such wraps also allow a loose grip without any danger of slip.
And I'll go out on a strong limb to claim that no snooker player in the top 200 has ever tried to use a slip stroke and if asked they would dismiss it as insanity.
