Slinger comes through
This confuses me a little bit (like that is very hard to do).

It is hard to see the right foot; is this stance square with the mat ?

I assume that white board is specifically placed there for a reason (because of the cut shot). I thought that the inside out cut shot was supposed to have a square stance line and an open plane line, which is exactly what I see in the video. Here is my confusion: I incorrectly thought that while hitting this cut shot (just like in the video) that the ball would travel straight down the stance line. That whould clearly cause a nasty 'crack' as the ball comes right back to say 'hello' after smacking into that white board.

But as I type this and watch the video several times everything that I have read tells me that is very wrong. The ball always travels along the plane line. I was aware that was the purpose of this cut shot, but totally missed the boat regarding the most important aspect of the drill: ball to plane line relationship.

Thank you Comdpa. It makes a huge difference seeing this for the first time after reading about it previously. It just shows me how minute differences can mean everything.
