Wow, what a beautiful sight! Larry Nevel's stroke, warming up for a 9-ball match

One might want to notice that he allows his elbow to drop as he gets the tip straight 'though' the ball & that the cue actually clears & leaves the bridge on occasion.

I'm just say'in.

Best to ALL.

at risk of throwing some kindling into the fire, I'm going to say you are correct and that action cannot be found on the cue ball with a pinned elbow.
only elbow drop creates that kind of horse power.

IMO of course.
:cool:

There is an extreme amount of 'stuff' going on 'at contact' & it has NOT been sufficiently studied as it has in golf & even baseball.

Babe Ruth's swing was not the same a Pee Wee Reese's & neither were the results.

Best to You & ALL.

This particular . . . stuff . . . would seem to be a niche motherload -- a vein of riches,so to speak -- well worth further exploration.

I think it's interesting that everyone always says how amazing Larry Nevel is, yet I never hear of him winning anything, ever.

He supposedly has one of the biggest breaks out there, which is a huge advantage in 9-ball and 10-ball, so why isn't he on par with top pros? That stroke may be great to watch, but it doesn't seem to produce anything special in the long run.

Then you have players like the Ko brothers, winning world championships and never seem to hit balls over pocket speed.

EDIT: The subject was actually brought up on video, here's his answer: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jpo69 right at 5 minute mark.

Cardigan Kid...You can say what you like, but you're completely incorrect. There is no power stroke that cannot be executed with a pendulum stroke, that can be made with a piston stroke like Nevel's. None...zero...it's all in your head. Speed comes from swinging the weight of the cue with perfect timing, and a relaxed cradle. You can certainly force the cuestick through the CB, but it is unnecessary.

LOL why did she make it personal? All he asked was why Nevel wasn't winning more events even though his stroke is so good.

A lot of his victories are dated as hell and state championships are...meh for a top pro.

Heck of a player though.

are you by chance able to post a video where a power stroke is accomplished with a pendulum stroke, just so that we can compare the two.

Search for Ronnie sullivan or Judd Trump. All snooker players use the rigid pendulum stroke . Ronnie's Full 11 feet table length draw with a pendulum stroke is just sick !
 
I also wonder why he doesn't win more on a big stage. I played him recently a race to 9 and he played a perfect match. I made one mistake the entire match and lost 9-1. He's got a huge break, is a great ball maker, and seems pretty composed.
