Elbow Drop without Follow Through?

First, this is more of an observation I just made, and not so much a question.

I have always thought follow through meant having the tip end up at a point past the CB, and by dropping one's elbow, the follow through would be greater. Now, while the conversation may end up going down this road, this isn't about whether dropping or not dropping is better.

It's simply about the observation I made in this VIDEO, that while Shane's elbow clearly does drop (see Red Line), the finish position of his tip is no different than the set position (see Yellow Line).

You missed the obvious! Look at where the yellow line crosses the diamonds on the table. In the second picture, the table is higher than in the first picture. He did have followthrough on the shot.

Lol, nice catch, Neil.

I'm sitting here really racking my brain wondering how the heck he dropped his elbow without having any follow through.

Well, now I'll use this as an excuse to say I really just wanted to share this amazing shot with everyone.
