Aiming is totally different when jumping. You can’t get down on the ball and line up like normal.
You’re going up in the air, when you need to put draw or spin on the ball for position that’s adding even more difficultly. If the ball you’re trying to hit is near a rail you may bounce off the table. Sometimes the balls are so close you have to get up and down insanely fast or try to land almost on top of the ball and judge for the over cutness.
There’s plenty that goes into making a good jump shot and it’s definitely an acquired skill wether or not you use a short cue to do it. I’ve never understood the hatred but I started playing like 7 years ago so it’s just part of the game to me.
