I haven't seen anything specific, taught by a instructor that wasn't in countless instructional books and articles. I'm talking fundamentals here. The great thing about instruction is that at least initially fundamentals are stressed during the lesson. If a student put up the cash for the lesson, he is probably going to spend time back with the fundamentals. We all know many players that will buy some instructional book, but skip over the section on fundamentals and move straight to the drills. This player's game will most probably continue to suffer or so minimal improvement, unless they are a true natural talent, which few are. They will continue wandering through the wilderness.

I will say one last thing on the subject: I have read the first book by Koehler. And it is full of interesting "observations."
I have concluded that once you have been FAMILIARIZED with the FUNDAMENTALS of execution, strategy, and the physics of the game, all of the other mumbo jumbo can be thrown out the window.
You don't need a calculator, a slide rule, an abacus or a thumb. It doesn't matter if you use inside, outside, top, and or bottom on any shot: so long as you JUST hit it perfect.

UMMM??? if they took the secrets to the grave we couldn't possibly know now could we????? But I think what he was saying is that due to the wide availability of cueing knowledge, much of the knowledge that was taken to the graves of past greats is now available knowledge.
