In shooting position you cannot have an accurate calculation of the distance and in that view , your shot feels off... Always aim in a birds eye view.
In the shooting position the only adjustment your going to do is where to hit the white ball( i mean, do you want it to follow thru, go back, stop, curve, etc.), how strong your going to hit.
Hope it helps
I think this is highly personal. your "shot feelin off" in shooting position and depending on your original estimation from birdsview doesnt seem recommendable.
it shouldnt feel off at all. you should be able to get down on a shot intentionally completely wrong and maneuver yourself with a couple shuffles in correct alignment. Im not saying thats recommendable just that its not difficult..just focus on objectball and the pocket in your peripheral to see the correct line. I see the exact line the best in shooting position. its like a confirmation that how I estimated the shot was correct
also not to uncommon to see players shuffle a bit in shooting position. I watched a bit of o'sullivan to verify. you would think he gets in shooting position rocksolid everytime...but you can see him shuffling his feet a bit also sometimes. He recognises his estimation from birdseyeview wasnt entirely correct and makes some minor adjustement while on the shot
