True story: I practice JKD and in my down time I play pool...always loved the little punch stroke. That's the way I've always done it...and through the years I've searched for allen Hopkins videos, such as this one, so I could study his stroke. ANYWAYS...my point is I never made that connection before. Thumbs up!
@@fredhugard7444 A pool stroke is like a karate strike. It takes decades to master, unless you are gifted with excellent muscle twitch fiber. I also practice both karate and pool.
20:11 that is power of the punch stroke IMO. see his elbow drop? That was a big one, but due to the fact he doesn't pull the cue back, but only the minimum amount, his cue tip doesn't have time or much opportunity to misalign on the backswing. Therefore when he shoots the ball, the cue tip is still hitting the correct spot on the cue ball, even when his fundamentals break down, such as in the highlighted shot. A couple of shots later he does drop his elbow and miss, but I never said it was infallible. If nothing else I think it's a good trick to have when shooting off the rail. At least that's my interpretation as a fellow punch stroke user. Of course he does it much better. Obviously. Agree? Disagree? Thoughts, questions, or concerns?
