I've heard pendulum stroking called a still elbow or static elbow.
I don't know of a name for an elbow dropping stroke. A "normal" stroke maybe? haha, what a troll I am
Up and down movement on the warmup strokes is a rollercoaster stroke. I always thought it looked like the metal bar connecting two wheels of a train, and it should have some name to reflect that. Like a choo choo stroke or something.
A stroke from the side position is a sidearm or chicken wing stroke, like keith. A stroke where you accidentally go to the side during your backswing or forward swing is just a plain old f*ckup as far as I know.
That original hanisch post was a big old teal deer but I think people tend to overcomplicate pool and the strokes. I've heard people talk like there are multiple strokes from a standard shooting position but in my opinion there's only one, or only needs to be one anyway. All that changes is how much force you're hitting with and where the cue tip strikes the ball. There's no such thing as a separate draw stroke or follow stroke, or a special nip draw stroke or whatever.
If you wanna tell me that a bridge stroke or a jacked up rail-draw stroke is a different stroke, I can buy that, but once you're down over the CB and doing a standard shot, you don't need to execute a special pokemon Stroke Number 27 to hit a certain shot. You hit it just like any other shot, just decide where you want the tip to touch whitey and how hard you want it to hit. You may also consider how much follow through you're allowed if it's close quarters.
The worst case of overthinking stroke names has to be in an old Megan Minerich instructional I had found online. She named follow, stop, and draw strokes as separate strokes and would say stuff like "to get this kind of follow you hit the ball with a draw stroke, but high". Ugh.
