Mike Massey's power draw shot with no elbow drop until after cue ball contact, recorded during an exhibition at Match Ups in Fort Collins, Colorado on July 10, 2010.
@venomtrickshots yep really extreme effect on the point of not laying down on the table and raising elbow on the backswing. I'd ad a really firm change of balance to the front leg while contacting the cueball
People who are interested should check out NV B.65, my video dealing with power draw technique. It demonstrates and reinforces some of this stuff. Also, more useful advice can be found in the "draw shot technique" section in the FAQ area of my website.
@DrDaveBilliards well, actually, as you noted yourself, he raises his elbow and then drops it into the shot. it seems to me that you're ignoring that part of the elbow drop in what you call "elbow drop". he raises his elbow in the backstroke and drops it into the actual shot. I'd call that elbow drop before contact...but i'm not a doctor

@DrDaveBilliards It's not easy but lot of things need to be considered:
-bridge: longer
-loose grip
-NOT dropping the elbow
-stay in position after the shot
-lay down less on the table....

Yep ... some people are born with faster-twitch muscle fibers than others.

Good point. Mike has a small elbow lift and elbow drop before contact, and a very large elbow drop after contact.
