The stop shot is the most accurate stroke with which to peel. The forward ball travels faithfully along the centre line linking the balls in the croquet stroke. What should be borne in mind however is that the forward ball will skid for the first part of its travel before picking up spin. Therefore it can be beneficial on angled peels to hit the balls gently rather than play a tight stop shot. The stop shot is ideal for long peels since the ball has time to acquire spin.

Rolls at around 45 degrees have most pull, straight rolls next to none. Unfortunately it is up to experience to determine this. The Aspinall Peel. Red is croquetted into the jaws of the hoop then promted through by blue. The 'Aspinall' Peel .
