The physics of what is going on with all but the simplest shots is actually pretty complicated, more complicated than you have time to sort out completely for every shot.
Of course a bunch of practice is good, you are teaching your brain to make little adjustments based on results. Nobody would ever argue against the idea that lots of practice is good.
But people seem to think they are somehow making physics mystically not apply to them by practicing hours on end. If a high jumper gets better after tons of practice...and maybe studying technique...it isn't because he magically made gravity go away.
Some people learn quicker if they can understand the physics of a shot, some find an aiming system to be a shorthand way to consider the physics and some are only confused by all of this and just need to hit a ton of balls.

This is pretty well stated!
My martial arts teachers all teach differently.... a LOT differently.
But the ones who convey the idea to me the best, tend to teach in a similar “style” as it were.
But not everyone learns the same way... the current thought is that we all have a different “modality” of how input BEST conveys into learned data.
One guy (roughly 80% I have been told) learns best from SEEING the shot being done.
Others learn best from explanation that is TOLD to them, so hearingis their best input.
Another needs to read and write it down to retain it.....
We are all ~supposedly ~ a blend of the various inputs. I need to FEEL what it is like to do it right, then keep trying to replicate how that felt
(that is when I start to really own a shot). Of course, I saw it done as well and they may have described it too, as I said a mix of inputs.
But all will agree
No substitute for putting in the time on the table “shooting a million balls” as they say.
