Set up a billiard shot straight in the corner pocket. Place the cue about five feet away. Line up dead center and then raise your cue so you are shooting down on the cue ball. Raise your tip so you end up slightly above center. Use your best punch stroke. Make sure you push the cue ball out towards the object ball. Feel the cue tip still on the ball, even when it’s one foot from the contact point. Get a good feel for this “Stun”. The cue ball will hit the object ball and jump up and creep forward.

When you are able to hit five “stuns” in a row you will then rack up the balls and use the “Stun” to shatter the rack. Place the cue ball in between the head spot and the side rail. Get into the stun position. Concentrate on driving the cue ball straight through the rack. See the cue ball hitting the head ball. Deliver your finest stun. You do not focus on speed. You focus on quality of hit. You will discover, for yourself, the right speed for you. What ever it takes to shatter the balls will be your speed.
