I was thinking about appropriate terms for adjustments and procedures we utilize throughout the execution of a shot from beginning to end.
The prefixes "pre" and "post" are fairly obvious. "Ante" is another good synonym for "pre", but may confuse some.
I was cogitating on a good prefix for 'during'. Mid is one option, but not ideal as it may seem to represent an exact middle position. After some googling, I learned of the prefix 'peri', which means through or during, via its latin derivation. It is often used in medical language.
So a way to divide up aspects of procedures and adjustments could be "pre-stroke", "peri-stroke" and "post-stroke".
Examples of peri-stroke adjustments / procedures can be swooping, bridge shifting, head lifting, focus shifting, elbow dropping, wrist flicking, stroking, cue property effects etc.
An example of a post-stroke procedure would be riding the ball, extending follow through and other pretty much useless things we might do after the CB has taken off. See JB's video for examples ;-)
Just thought I'd put it out there for consideration as I attempt to be a 99% pre-stroke aimer and I think we need some accepted terms to help categorize and compare such methods.
