Body Position On Aiming

[DeanH]

I had visions of some players taking a 'walk the plank' approach

Watching Shaun Murphy, he positions the right foot and virtually 'falls' forward onto the left to get into position.

That is close to how I see my positioning happening, not "actually" falling but the front foot placement is unconscious as I go into the cueing position (well nearly all components of the positioning, stance, etc are unconscious if told)

Yes, same here. When I started looking into the importance of stance more, I was watching Shaun Murphy put in a high break and thought I'd try his approach. Seems to have worked, but may be a combination of everything being more consistent.

Don't try it like this though, it's not in the coaching manual.
