If you read frank callans coaching book he mentions that Joe had to drop his elbow in order to get a good follow through. This was because his elbow and grip did not fall directly down in a vertical but he was slightly inside the 90 degrees. This meant if he did not drop the elbow he would not get through the white. Frank shows photos comparing his action to steve davis'. Steve was slightly outside the 90 degrees which meant he could get through the white without dropping his elbow and Frank suggests this is more accurate with less moving body parts. Hope that helps.

The old Scottish pro Eddie Sinclair (massively underrated and stopped from playing when in his prime) also dropped his elbow and got firther through the ball than anyone I have ever seen.

Wonder if he'll still be able to cut it like this when he's 60 years old ?

I never tire from watching this. Joe was fast and had such a crisp cue action. Pully's little 33 clearance at the end is nice to see also.
