The cue felt like I shortened the into pocket phase a lot (micro-in) and then started trying to swing out of pocket immediately after.
Normally, it feels like I’m coming into the pocket and staying there until the redirect starts to happen and then I try to swing out with the redirect. But this felt like I was able to preload the redirect with more power.
It also changed my follow-through a bit to have more rotation in the follow through.
