I didn't mean to get personal, at least not in an insulting way. The "better than us" was not sarcasm. Obviously, you have been to more training than most of us, and you have worked more games than most of us. You are probably working higher level games than most of us, which in turn probably means less bad-throws or straightlining.
But it DOES happen, as I'm sure you agree.
I may try the leaning technique you mention above to see if it helps - I've been taught in the past to be as still as possible at the critical moment. I'll see if a lean helps me get an angle on the foot without causing too much head movement.
My question, though, is this - if you KNOW you are straightlined, or because of other action may not have the best angle, what motivates you to make a call (perhaps the call you have in your heart) without help when you are aware that you may not have all the information, and you are aware that the missing information is available if you would only ask.
