The following approaches to long shots tend to work for me.
Approach One
I get down on my shot and before I start aiming I feather around two or three times to get my power right.
I then bring my tip forward to stop and rest just behind the white as I aim my shot.
Once I'm confident I've found the right angle I pull my cue back and strike the cue ball.
Approach Two
When I get down on my shot and feather reasonably quickly, sharply and shortly (so as the displacement of my cue isn't very much at all, as compared to standard feathering).
As I continue to aim my shot my feather progressively decelerates and my cue displacement increases. Once my feathering is at a comfortable speed and I'm happy with my angle I take the shot.
