Stance threads got me wondering...Allison

I wonder if Allison Fishers stance has changed from her snooker stance?
Mark Wilson teaches "toe the line" and he stated she spends time just practicing that.
Anyone know the history?

She doesn't stand as square as when she played snooker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGRK93PVxsU

So did Mark Wilson change her stance?
Why would a straight shooting snooker player need their stance changed?

Only guessing here but i'm gonna say power, comfort or both. She still toes the shotline just not as square as before. Didn't seem to affect her play.

Allison has a textbook stance. absolutely perfect. karen korr as well. love watching those two play, by far the best female talent since balukas. ouschan is good, Kelly is good, but if you want to emulate someone, those two are it for sure. the men tend to just find a confort zone, especially if youre taller.

only she knows but if i have to hazard a guess then a snooker table is taller than a pool table and it might just be a natural adjustment to do to keep her weight distributed comfortably across both feet.
