Warm up strokes or feather strokes.

Warm up strokes or feather strokes.
What are these all about.
What are they all about and do you need them or do they help to prefect your stroke.
Do they help to put you into the groove so to speak or build muscle memory or help with correction.
Any thoughts.

If you are referring to being down for a shot and then doing a series of back and forth cue ministrokes just prior to executing the hit; then I would remark that that is essential for me and it produces proper alignment, bridge feel, and establishs the rythme of the hit.

If that's not what you were referring to . . . then never mind . . . .

Purpose

The warm ups should be part of your PSR. You should have a set number of warm ups that you perform (1 to 3). They help to prep for the transition to your shooting stroke. They also aid in performing a good "Set" at the CB (where you should be focused). You're also reinforcing in your mind/body exactly "where" you're going to strike the CB. Ideally you've already decided cue stick angle, stroke speed and CB spin in earlier parts of your PSR. For additional input you may want to ask this question in the Ask The Instructor section of these forums. There are many knowledgeable folks that can provide input in that section.
