As always, I look forward to your feedback, comments, questions, complaints, and requests.

Excellent video.

You note that "no top 20 video would be complete without a shot from Efren". It's equally true that no video on great draw shots is complete without something from the late Larry Nevel, who had a stroke even more powerful than that of Earl Strickland. Of course, finding the footage would be more difficult, but Larry deserves a mention in this thread. RIP, Larry, you're not forgotten.

Don't feel too bad. When somebody does pay attention you get accused of sorcery.
This the third jacked up shot, @ 3:00 ish. Note the angle of impact. This has to be a technical issue but it sure makes me inquisitive.

The 8 ball just vanishes.

The cue ball sits there for a couple frames before touching the cushion and propelling itself on the final line.

Agreed. It would have been nice to have more online footage of some Larry Nevel draw shots available. He certainly would have had several spots on the list.
