"Hands inside the ball"

Like stated earlier in order to hit the ball the hands have to be inside the ball. I agree, but that is not what the cue is used for. Upon starting the swing the hands can get outside the ball, such as in casting the hands away from the body. Yes the hands will get back inside the ball but you will be slicing through the ball outside in. Hands inside the ball and the fence drill is used the keep from casting and to keep the hands inside the ball the whole way.
