Stun / Stun Screw / Stun Follow

Here's a lovely video of stun run through shots played by top professionals. Usual frame situations that appear very often:

How many of you would attempt some of those shots using just plain ball follow and not stun run through? Use drag shot even?
I think one of the problems in not using stun run through when it is clearly the right shot, is that not only you will not get good position, but also should you miss you will very likely leave the object ball near the pocket.

Fantastic video, thanks for posting that Ace Man, gives me something to aim for lol.

In fact default should be rolling the ball in as you can only make a mistake on speed - with stun follow you can make a mistake with speed AND height.
Stun run through should only start to be used when rolling the ball may give a chance of the ball rolling off straight - and even then at the minimum possible extra speed to keep the pockets playing as big as possible.
Stun run through for the sake of it is one of the biggest causes of losing position for players in the 40-70 highest break bracket

I hear you, and my default is indeed rolling the ball as I'm not still skilled enough with stun run.
But those slow rolls are terrifying shots to take on under pressure with all that adrenalin. Hate it when they are the only choice, i.e. cue ball stuck to the cushion.
Controlling the cue positively at those very slow speeds is super difficult for me.
