Step 2 of the C.U.E. Shooting Process is Preview, and it is the stage most players skip entirely. Getting down without a clear mental picture means executing blind.
Stand tall behind the cue ball and find the exact aim line, extending it back toward you. Choose the contact point and decide on spin before settling in. Set the swing speed by imagining the full movement at intended pace. Form the grip, feel the shot while still standing, and repeat the preview on complex shots until every detail is clear. The preview looks different during training, integration, and competition but it always produces the same outcome: a complete mental picture ready to guide settling in and swinging.
