Only thing I will say about the "inward" elbow, is primarily it is greatly noticed in the Filipino players but more over players that start playing at such a young age. Researching this, it was greatly noticed because they started playing from such an early age and had to learn to adapt to that position of playing because they weren't tall enough on the table to get the cue under them. I have actually had a couple of Filipino friends mention this to me as well. Pretty neat after learning some of it. But I greatly agree the elbow drop can be a detriment to the game. Love your videos and what you do.

Very nice of you to give out prizes. Congrats to all the winners!

[@lesterweinheimer665]

Great Video Anthony! I've always noticed how so many players have their elbow in and I've always strive to keep my perpendicular. Always felt much more natural than me to keep it in. Learn something every time I watch you. Good luck in all you do

I love that you are talking concepts that few others, if any, do. This is stuff that needs to be out there. Congrats on the 10K, I am one of them. 🙂 I was very interested in the angled elbow and have noticed it on pros before. I never knew the function and will now give it a try. I'm figuring, like any other change, some serious practice is in order to lock the new stroke in. Another thing I've noticed that a lot of them do, including Efren, at least on some shots, others almost exclusively, is that they aim with their tip on the table, JUST behind the ball to table contact point, and then stroke, sometimes without even taking practice strokes. My guess is that they have got to be using back hand English. Otherwise I have no clue how this would work. The most obvious extreme in elbow drop is in the break stroke, where I've seen pros not only drop it but bring it all the way forward to maximum forward reach. I saw one break of Strickland's where I thought he was going to impale the wall or the guy on the next table. It literally looked like he was going to through and underhand spear (if there were such a thing, but hey, the way those gals throw softball pitches, who knows). A lot of them used to do this in the 'jump up break' era, as I call it. If I see it again somewhere I will come back and link it, but I am too lazy, and don't have the time, to go look for it. I really think his tip was well beyond the racking spot. I expect most mere mortals breaking like that would send cue balls off table frequently. Anybody that wants to try backhand English, be aware that it requires an 'exact' length bridge for a given cue to work. Sites like Dr Dave's will show you how to determine that length. I don't know if this channel has broached that subject, or not.

[@poolteacher]

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I do address backhand english in my online class. There are a lot of other lessons that you won't find publicly on KZbin. I would love to have you in my online class.

Your tutorials are very well thought out and put together. Thank you. Question if you don't mind me asking and maybe even you could make a video about it? What is your cue weight and tip diameter? Why do you use this weight and tip diameter for your shaft? Your thoughts on using a glove..And carbon fiber shaft vs LD wood shaft. I noticed you use a wood shaft. Again thank you for the awesome videos.

[@danmichael4787]

I "wrinkled" a shot last week and immediately knew what I did. I said, "I wrinkled that shot." My opponent asked, "Wrinkled?" I told him that he needed to look up Anthony Beeler and gave him info.

[@markinjhawkland724]

Thanks Anthony this is interesting and I look forward to experimenting with the elbow. I noted that when I watch the SVB shot at 0.25X speed his elbow drops on the back swing and the tip rises. At the very back of the backswing he lifts the elbow back to where it started. I'm wondering if you see the same thing? If his elbow stayed still the tip wouldn't rise on the backswing.

[@poolteacher]

It’s a stabilizer. I’m never gonna tell you it’s 100 percent perfect but it enhances your ability to be stable. That I do know. He shot that ball at warp speed and there was very little movement. I agree there is some but the elbow placement minimizes the drop.

[@trudaroof]

On Shane's final stroke he moves his elbow out so it is straight up & down when he fires

[@matthewdaniels6643]

For the record, I've been a BCA/PBIA instructor since 2005. I think we're all familiar with the idea of SPF (Set, Pause, Finish) mechanics using some variation on the classic pendulum stroke. While I like this approach, I think it would be good to emphasize hitting our FINISH position using the more standard vertical elbow that you illustrate. You don't need to cock your elbow to hit your finish and thus, avoid elbow drop. Just my $0.02.

[@poolteacher]

Matthew, I noticed you are a recognized instructor with the PBIA. Thanks for watching! Happy to have your input. I am a Master Instructor in both the ACS and the PBIA. I am just showing you what lots and lots of top professionals are currently doing. You don't have to agree with it, however most all of your best players are angling the elbow in: Carlo Biado, Nick Varner, Efren Reyes, Albin Ouschan, John Schmidt, Francisco Bustamante, Mike Sigel...the list goes on and on. A few are not angling in. There are still about 30-40 percent with an perpendicular elbow. However, most of these players are not the absolute best players in the world. What I am seeing overall is that there are there are two schools of thought for modern professional players. One school is the angled elbow as shown here. The other school embraces elbow drop on every shot they shoot. For example, I'm referring to Fedor Gorst... he has worked with Johan Ruijsink and many of his students fully embrace the elbow drop for more a a timed cuing action similar to what they call the piston stroke. Hope you find this information useful. Thanks for your input.

Yeah Ronnie, join the very very large club. I asked a friend once, who in his youth came one ball from winning the Australian Snooker open, if he could give me some tips. His reply, straight faced and monotone, was "there is too much". Not too many people get a full belly laugh out of me but he did it then. The real problem was I'm pretty certain he was totally serious, and looking for a laugh. Pool humor, huh?

[@SenseiNatePlaysPool]

Nice video describing the main benefit to a pendulum stroke. It's too bad you're talking to pool players and not snooker players. Pool players have more and more pros to watch these days that use an elbow drop. I'd argue more that do have one than don't. You're right- there's more movement, and thus less tip placement accuracy. But i don't think that's anything proprioception cant handle. Humans are amazing like that. IMO the best cueists in the game have an elbow drop. Watch the europeans, it's everywhere, and they're teaching it. It's a timing thing. It's also good for the longevity of the shoulder muscle. From a biomechanics standpoint, If i have my elbow high for that long, contracting my biceps to perform a pendulum stroke, then it's only a matter of time til I'm gonna get a lot of soreness, tightness, and less efficiency in my stroke unless I really know how to take care of myself. I don't want to change how I shoot too much as I get older and still want to be low on my cue. Elbow drop is the only way I can guarantee the longevity of those muscle groups. There's much more relaxation. So catapulting tip syndrome I may have- but it's a price I'm willing to pay, and still progressing none the less.

[@rtucker0458]

I've noticed that many woman "naturally" shoot that way. I found that trying to get many to get perfect alignment was pretty much impossible. Truthfully I found that trying to do that actually made them shoot poorly.

[@poolteacher]

Great point. However, you just can't argue with what the best players in the world are doing. It may be a challenge to accomplish but they are all doing this for a REASON. This is not something for beginning players. If it were a beginner then perpendicular would most certainly be correct. However, for advanced players this is definitely something to consider, perhaps when shooting only power shots. I have always used a perpendicular elbow but I have found the transition to alignment this way has been very easy. In attempting to achieve perfect alignment your wrist has to be cocked ever so slightly. For a good reference go to the website nickvarner.com and look at the photo at the top of the page. Notice how the wrist is cocked slightly. In a future lesson, I plan to teach other school of thought which is the timed elbow drop very similar to the piston stroke. Thanks for watching!
