Lee Brett - "In the Box and Out of the Box" - I think the video was titled "Secret Art of Pool" I taught many students this concept. It's harder to see the shot line, especially where the cue goes on the shot line (to your side and behind) when you're too close. Stepping back gives a better perspective. This problem is notorious with players that mostly play barbox because they can "get away" with less of a picture (shot line) and often there's less space, so they're just used to staying close. Great video David!

That's the guy. I couldn't remember his name, and couldn't remember the video to watch and get his name.

@@davidsiltz this was an excellent tip you gave. I always believed it helped because you get a better idea of putting the cue on the shot line. Especially helpful on longer shots to increase accuracy! Lee talks about in/out of the box as a mental aspect, not a visual one. 🎱💙

Good video. I wasted two years of my life stepping into the shot. Does not work for everyone.

Do you mean that it doesn't help you, or that you don't need it because you can already see the shot line really well? If it's the latter, I'm jealous.

@@davidsiltz I am six four. I could not get my shoulders turned stepping into the shot. Now I put my heel on the shot line and my feet at a 45 degree. Stroking much straighter now. Everybody is different. Keep up the good work!

I find that a consistent distance between my body and the cueball is quite important. As I've gotten older and lost some of my depth perception, stepping into the shit can help me to get the proper distance. I don't think I remembered to mention that in my video.
