How do I get on the line of the shot correctly?

[thai_son22]

Considering how hard it is to get the tip in the centre of the white ball (and that's 10mm wide), getting your foot exactly on line is interesting as that is around 250mm wide.

Even when a coach says put your laces on the line that's a large area.

I put my foot on the line but I have size 12's.

You know what they say about big feet! Hahah

I can confirm this isn't true.

Wear slip on shoes, solves that problem straight away

Ha ha, I'd try anything!

Someone said once to try pointing your toe toward the pocket, quite dangerous on cut back shots, nearly ended up in hospital!

Yeah me neither jrc750, only thing is I'm a century break player but always seem to struggle at distance or on the cushion. So I pretty much know that when I'm in I can 'get away with it' but my alignment must be out as I'm consistently missing certain types of shots

Maybe not mate . It might be a case of you're just not confident on those shots and you get a little bit of tension . If your a century break player ,I doubt you're not finding the right line .

It's the heel that needs to be on 'the' line

There were players such as Hendry and both his feet would be parallel, facing the same direction (if that makes sense)

As long as your heel is on the line even if your foot is pointing out a little to make your stance comfortable its not a big issue.
