Your percent for this drill?

Dave’s comparison is about CB control, not shotmaking. Stop shots are more sensitive to throw, which can make them harder to pocket.

I understand, I wonder if Dr Dave has any data on throw on a sliding cue ball vs a rolling one.
It may be my imagination , but I have always believed the sliding ball transfers considerably more English than the rolling one.

I did the stop shot portion of this drill several times tonight, but not a perfect stop shot on all 15 in any of them. I kept redoing the drill to perfect it, but not tonight. For some reason I just couldn't connect all the dots tonight. I had the balls hitting center pocket, but couldn't get all 15 to stop on a dime, then on this last one rattled five ball into the pocket and 14 ball brushed the rail into the pocket. I'll try another night to produce better results. https://youtu.be/vlF1JC2DY0w

Edit: Had to try one more time before bed. Not perfect, it's uploading. The upload will take an hour. Will update post with video when I wake up. I completed the drill at least 10 times tonight, but don't consider any of them a success because I didn't get the results I was looking for. https://youtu.be/BYeS0V3DKFM

Yes, he does: https://billiards.colostate.edu/faq/throw/maximum/

That’s correct. From Dr. Dave’s website (linked above):

“Maximum spin-induced throw (SIT) occurs with slow speed, stun, and about 50% sidespin (for a straight shot).”
