Well, but, he is basically saying that people don't know how to walk. Maybe what he is proposing is accurate or maybe it is not.
But I do agree that he is talking about "sliding into the shot".
Sliding into the shot vs toeing the line ??

Damn you EFFING snooker!

Possibly sliding into the shot is apart of keeping the visuals and perspective smooth all the way into the shot. Sometimes under pressure I find myself rushing on the way down to the ball and I lose my feel because of that.
I used to only focus on the contact point all the way from start to finish. I had a guy say that I don't get down to shoot I sneak up on the balls.

Lately I have heard of "sliding into the shot" as part of a preshot routine, what does this entail?
#Not a aiming thread
Ever heard of Kranicki's Answer To a Pool Player's prayers? :thumbup:
I don't think I have? Does She/he have some good information?
Richard. So good I'm sure people don't even want me to mention the book. Pleasure of small motions and the inner game of tennis round out what you need.
One instructor's explanation was this, kind of a toe the line and slide all in one:
Stand behind the shot and lay your cue on the table with the tip right behind the CB and the cue pointing right down the shot line while still holding the butt in your grip hand.. Turn your body about 45 degrees and place your back toe or heel(preference) on the shot line indicated by the cue. Now, keeping the stick pointed down the shot line slide your front foot forward while sliding your bridge hand under the stick to the appropriate distance from the CB. Not saying I like this, but it's what he taught
