@synacs i think thats how Efren is able to put so much left or right spin on a slow rolling ball he has a swoop stroke and hits right through the ball almost (hard to describe my theory), if you know what i mean? Anyway everyone is always saying how he gets so much more distance out of the same stroke as other players...

I have some on VEPS-V. I'll try to post some when I finish the project.

Agreed. Many pros drop their elbow. However, there are also many that don't, especially those with a Snooker background.

There are some pros who swoop their stroke to apply English, but you are very wrong is saying they all do this.
With enough practice, anything can be made to work well. However, most people (especially those that don't practice as much as the pros), can apply English and draw more consistently and accurately if they don't swoop their stroke. Ask any experienced and qualified instructor.
Stroke swoop is certainly not required to get good English and draw action.

Efren Reyes is a swooper.

@synacs
Some people can do it quite effectively, but it's not necessarily the best advice for mere mortals.

It is my guess that with the swoop the cue tip doesn't stay in contact with the cue ball as long as it does with the straight stroke. I don't have high speed cameras so it's only a guess. So much of what people believe about the happenings on a pool table are old wives tales and superstition.

I don't think the contact time is affected a significant amount (if at all). For more info, see "contact time" under "cue tip" in the FAQ section of my website.
I agree that there are lots of "old wives tales" and "superstition" in pool.
Thanks for the comments, and please help spread the word about my stuff.
