Stroke slip

Can someone explain to me the difference between a slip stroke and a stroke slip and where you use them if you do?

I was playing around with these last night. By releasing the cue before impact it showed me how to make my stroke much more accurate. I was messing up my accuracy at impact. The only thing is I would hardly get any spin with this type of shot.

Does anyone actually use this when shooting? All the time/some of the time? When do you use it?

Efren does.
You should get more spin unless your cue is too light.
 
Efren shoots with a 20 ouncer now.
I have a 19.5 Zylr and it puts a ton of action on the ball when I slip it.
 
Can you please put into words what you mean by slip? Are you releasing the cue before or after impact?
 
I dont know if theres a name for it, but ive noticed when i have a shot where i need to make the cueball draw back immediately, like its a shot where with out somekind of extreme draw the ball is gonna scratch in the side, i find i do this stroke where i follow thru but i jerk the cue back really quick with my wrist, and the cb will come straight back off the object ball, where if i had put hard draw on the ball it would have scratched before the draw could take. Is there a name for that? It feels weird but it sure works good

Do you mean you jerk back on the stick and use sort of a reverse slip stroke to get the cue out of the way quick? I've done that before works pretty good too unless you do like I did once and forget to re-grip the cue before it goes flying out of your hand.:o

IMO I think this slip stroke and now stroke slip is silly speak.....

I've done both before although after impact it was on the "reverse stroke" to get the cue out of the way(see post before this one). I can't think of any reason for doing it after impact otherwise. I learned the slip stroke or whatever they call it goofing around and showing off as a teen. An instructor would probably advise against it's use but in certain situations it does work good.
