Myth or real - Stroke smoothness as a requisite for certain shots

There's another reason that from time immemorial that the instruction has been to have cb contact at the bottom of the pendulum. If the arm is swinging forward, even from just gravity, there is less chance of deceleration. If you strike the ball after the bottom of the pendulum, you have to be actively moving the cue forward to avoid deceleration.
One of the pendulum stroke's strengths is that its fixed range of motion ensures the tip returns to the address position. Another is that the bottom of the grip hand's arc is where the stick is moving most horizontally for the longest time and gravity's effect on speed is neutral. Kind of a stroke sweet spot.

Shane Wolford VS Anthony Meglino (Action) $216K

Isn't the money you win in this match much bigger than what you can win from DCC, or do you think it's the chance at a title that trumps the money?
They are there for the derby, its their choice to play however they want. Not my decision or anybody but the parties involved.

Did Anthony not win? What am I missing? They played 2 sets and Anthony won both of them. Anthony collected the cash along with presumably his backer or the guy handling the $$$
