stricklands kicking adjustment

ive been so curious about this for years, if you watch videos of earl, he gets down on a lot of his kicks, seemingly about to shoot, then adjust his aim one way or another.

i have heard commentators say he is changing his mind when he does this movement, but i am totally convinced he has some type of system, where he lines something up, then adjusts a certain amount. if anybody knows anything about the system he uses that would be cool to hear.
 
I don't know what Earl is doing but I do know that some kicking systems lead you to a specific target on the rail and then you ADD a touch in the direction of CB travel....like the width of a chalk cube etc.

Maybe that's what Earl is doing.

Sure, but you would do that before you get down on the ball. I am guessing that the comentators are right, perhaps he decides to hit it harder and adds a little bit to compensate...
 
OR...he uses a system, then compensates for the table he's on that moment. Like a diamond system....you must adjust for each table.

Hard to argue with that, and I don't understand why they don't put her in more movies.
 
Earl tends to use a little high english on most of his kicks, I think to make the shot consistent. With high english the cue ball naturally goes long off the cushion, therefore giving him some consistency on all his kick shots.
